Bi invisibility saves the day
Either Senator Larry Craig is a brilliant politician or completely ignorant. His reply of "I'm not gay" in response to his recent guilty plea (lewd contact in a public bathroom) has sent the press into a tizzy: Is he gay? Is his marriage a sham? Is this a set up by his enemies ( Read more... ) -
A.J. - RIP?
Many a fantasy life was dimmed last week, when it was reported that the bigger lipped half of Brangelina has given up her bisexual label. Upon hearing this, I donned black for a week (the official mourning time for ex-bi's). Surely, this highly evolved goddess didn't compare bisexuality to S&M! How could the womyn who caused my breath to stop ( Read more... ) -
Camp
Imagine a dozen or so cabins, sandwiched between Lake Michigan and a little wanna-be lake, accessible only by boat. Kids kayaking, swimming, hiking, doing arts & crafts, and learning how to lead the GLBT movement.

Phobia in film - a good thing?
I went to see "I now pronounce you Chuck and Larry" over the weekend, hoping for the best, but ready for another "Boat Trip." What I found was the latest in a growing trend...

Under the influence of "Sicko"
I performed my patriotic duty on the 4th of July. I went to see "Sicko." As with all of Michael Moore's movies, I was left with tears, anger, and a hopeless feeling. I had noticed most of what he mentioned (avoidance of coverage, soaring drug costs, and demonization of "universal health coverage"). There was some lazy part of my brain who ( Read more... ) -
"T"
I didn't sleep last night and I'm about to skip a conference call so I can load up on groceries. Worse, I completely spaced an organizers meeting for 10ICB (the next international conference on bisexuality) last night. Little Ms. Responsible has completely lost it. Tendo will be here tomorrow. I'm not sure I'm ready.

Mah-widge
I’ve uttered one word since Massachusetts stood up to bigotry, refusing to let voters decide a civil right - “Mah-widge”.. as in “Mah-widge is a say-quid institution” (Monty Pythoners out there can probably cite the exact scene this comes from. I, thinking this was Mel Brooks until a few minutes ago, cannot ( Read more... ) -
Rural Book Lovers
I did not sleep last night; my lammy books showed up.
I adore reading, but I have zero tolerance for bad books. Blame it on growing up with the tv for a nanny; a introductory sentence can cause me to toss a book. This wouldn't be a problem if I lived in a city. I could get my latte, sit down with a pile of candidates, filter at will. This winners ( Read more... ) -
Misheard at the Big Bi Book Weekend
Well, the first ever Bisexual Lammy was presented on June 1, 2007. I could write an entire book on the experiences, interchanges, connections made over this weekend. I have a half dozen column ideas in my head about this, but have been stuck with where to start. I finally decided to start with the worst of the weekend; those gaffes that make us ( Read more... ) -
What makes a book bisexual?
In October 2006, the bi community cheered at Lambda Literary Foundation's addition of a bisexual category. Since "Bi Any Other Name" was forced to compete as a lesbian anthology back in 1991, bisexuals authors and readers have yearned for a category where our best can be judged against similar books.
