Bisexuality And The ‘Ex-Gay’ Industry

Pretty much everyone in the BLGT community has heard of it, and most of us would like to pretend it doesn’t exist.

What Does The Removal Of Proposition 8 Mean For The Bisexual Community?

With all the depressing headlines lately, last week when I heard that Prop 8 had been overturned in California, at first I thought it was either a joke or I had to be dreaming. I admit I had stopped following the progress of the anti-Prop 8 fight, having lost faith in CA ever giving BLGT [...]

Listening to Bisexual Voices Around The World

A common complaint in the bisexual community is that there is not enough literature out there for bisexuals.

It seems that by now almost everyone has heard of the “Real World Controversy” over Mike Manning’s sexuality (Coming Out Bisexual on The Real World).
