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 [...]

Isolation, Health, And The Bisexual Community

At the beginning of June, a study came out about the health differences of BLGT people versus straight people. When I heard about it I figured it would show something similar to what previous studies with the same idea have shown: that overall BLGT people have worse health, more depression and higher suicide rates than [...]

No Benefit Of The Doubt For Bisexuals

Lately bisexuality seems to have been a hot topic all over the Internet. Having wanted us to be noticed more, I thought this was a good thing until I actually looked at some of the so called “attention” we’ve been getting.  Ouch!  Some days it pays to not read! One of the most [misplaced] articles [...]

The Perceptions of Coming Out as Bisexual

In May, Christina Aguilera came out of the closet as bisexual. Rumors had been going around about this for years, so it didn’t exactly come as a surprise to me. Just like when someone comes out as gay or lesbian, most of the media was supportive—except that they weren’t! There was some support from BLGT sites [...]

Review: Experience At The Envisioning Workshop

In early March, I was contacted by bisexual activist and author Loraine Hutchins, who said a group called The Velvet Foundation, a nonprofit organization founded by CEO Timothy S. Scofield, was sponsoring a project to put together a BLGT museum in Washington DC in the next few years, and would be having an Envisioning Workshop [...]

Bisexuals and Monogamy

The bisexual community often feels overlooked in the fight for same-sex marriage. Last week, we were finally acknowledged—as a scapegoat and an argument to uphold Prop 8!  Apparently allowing same-sex marriage is dangerous because bisexuals will want to marry someone of each gender, and then soon we will move on to plural marriage!  The exact [...]

Bisexuality on the ‘Lane’

Desperate Housewives is a household name. The show which burst on the scene in 2004 telling the story of Susan, Bree, Edie, Lynette, and Gabrielle, following the suicide of their friend Mary Alice—has followed the textbook rules for good drama since its original air date. Starting with a fantastic hook—the suicide of Mary Alice in [...]

Labels and Identity

With the recent controversy, which was basically a big argument about labels, I started to think about labels and identity in the BLGT community. Ultimately, do labels serve to unite, or divide? Would a more general label help unite those that are similar or have similar goals, but are not necessarily the same? Would it [...]
