Why “Bi”?

Sunday, March 16th, 2008

This quote comes from the Bi Visibility Project at UC Davis, in Davis, CA, and I find it really interesting. What do you think?:
“Doesn’t the word ‘Bisexual’ reinforce the gender binary?
Many people agree that the word ‘bisexual’ isn’t perfect. Some people don’t like the fact that it has ’sexual’ in it because they feel it […]

Best Sex Interview

Sunday, January 27th, 2008

This week I got to be interviewed by one of my inspirations, Rachel Kramer Bussel, the editor of Best Sex Writing 2008. Rachel has written and edited tons of books about sex. Like Violet Blue, she’s one of those people who, if there’s something you should know about sex, has probably written the book on […]

Lisa Diamond’s Study

Sunday, January 20th, 2008

Lisa Diamond, a professor at the University of Utah, is getting a ton of press about her latest research, on bisexual women’s identity. Check out what the press is saying here and here and here. My thoughts on the whole situation will be posted soon, so stay tuned for that.
And speaking of bisexuals and academics, […]

If you’re going to the Creating Change conference this year, be sure to attend the Bi Visibility Project workshop! It’s being led by Kim Westrick, a fabulous student/ activist from University of California, Davis. She is going to knock your socks off with information about the Project, which she started at her school. Very inspirational […]

Four Four and More

Sunday, November 4th, 2007

My (not-so-guilty and not-so-secret) guilty little secret is that I am a devoted watcher of America’s Next Top Model. So, I was psyched to find out about Four Four, a site run by a fellow fan.
Big thanks to Kat, for helping me get my blog all nice and pretty and coordinated with the overall new […]

Planet Unicorn

Sunday, October 28th, 2007

Thanks to Violet Blue’s blog for this gem: http://www.planetunicorn.tv/.
Yesterday, I got to spend time with a group of LGBT folks who are thinking of coming to Haas School of Business to get their MBAs. The LGBT student group at Haas put on a full day of activities for the prospective students, to give them […]

Bisexual Celebrities and Your Right or Left Brain

Sunday, October 21st, 2007

Lately, a lot of people have been asking me what I think of bisexual MySpace-celebrity Tila Tequila’s reality dating show on MTV. I haven’t watched it, and I haven’t been following the news about this show very closely, either. What little I’ve seen in the coverage has seemed pretty biphobic and cringe-worthy, along the lines […]

Reaching Out MBA Conference

Sunday, October 14th, 2007

This weekend I attended Reaching Out, the annual conference for LGBT MBA students and professionals. It was a ton of fun, and I got to meet lots of amazing people (hi, Cliff! hi, Rebecca!). I attended a workshop about the “pink dollar,” which refers to LGBT buying power. This was a fascinating workshop, but I […]

Best Sex Writing

Sunday, September 23rd, 2007

I just got great news! My article, “The Study of Sex,” which was originally printed in ColorLines magazine, is being reprinted in Best Sex Writing 2008, a collection of sexuality essays edited by Rachel Kramer Bussel! How cool is that? In this article, I bring attention to sexuality studies programs and the emphasis they do […]
