Bi Request is back

Sunday, February 15th, 2009

I’ll be curating Bi Request at Frameline’s San Francisco International LGBT Film Festival again this year, for the third year in a row! What’s Bi Request? Please visit this blog entry for all the details.
Here’s the important part for now: if you are a filmmaker or you know a filmmaker who (a.) identifies as […]

Condom Dance

Sunday, February 8th, 2009

My friend Robin Mills is at it again, with a very cool sex education mission. Robin and I got our master’s degrees in sexuality studies together, and now she is focusing her efforts on reaching out to young people of color, to teach them about safer sex and sexual health. Here she is being interviewed […]

Beyond the Binary Conference at UC Davis

Sunday, January 25th, 2009

I had the most fun ever this week, getting to be the keynote speaker at Beyond the Binary, a conference on bisexuality that was held at UC Davis. Go Aggies, for being down with the bi community, and for bringing bi issues to the forefront! UC Davis is doing things the right way. Thanks especially […]

“Researchers Revisit Male Bisexuality” in Science Daily

Sunday, January 4th, 2009

Thanks to Joshua for this link: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/12/081216104027.htm. This is important stuff, because I still hear people saying that bisexuality doesn’t exist in men. Which makes no sense to me and is so beyond men-are-from-Mars-women-are-from-Venus that I could barf. Why wouldn’t there be bisexual men? Why wouldn’t a man be able to experience attraction to other […]

Brown University Gets It

Sunday, December 14th, 2008

Kudos to Brown University for spreading the word about bisexual health!
Brown University
Did you know that bi-identified people are more likely than monosexuals to suffer from depression, alcoholism, mental illness, and domestic violence victimization, among other health/ safety/ well-being issues? When it comes to the intersection of health and sexual orientation, bisexuals are at the […]

Point Foundation scholarships

Sunday, December 7th, 2008

For all you students and friends of students out there, I wanted to let you know about an incredible scholarship opportunity. The Point Foundation is the national LGBT scholarship organization, and they do amazing work. They give financial and other types of support to LGBT scholars from around the country — in fact, I wouldn’t […]

I’m on the radio!

Sunday, November 2nd, 2008

I had a fun time the other day doing an interview for WGDR Radio in Vermont, on a program called Woman Stirred Radio. Thanks to Merry, my excellent host and interviewer! We got to talk for about half an hour, covering everything from the difference between nonprofits and for-profits, to bisexual health and well-being, along […]

Polyamory

Sunday, October 12th, 2008

There was a big polyamory celebration in New York recently, and the New York Times ran an article about it! Check it out: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/05/fashion/05polyamory.html?pagewanted=1&_r=3.
It looks like polyamorous people are finally getting some much deserved attention, which is great. Or is it? Read between the lines, and there’s something unsettling going on in this portrayal. […]

NGLTF, GLAAD, and me

Sunday, September 28th, 2008

Wow, the National Gay & Lesbian Task Force (NGLTF) named me a bisexual leader in the US!! It happened just this past week, on Bi Pride Day (aka National Celebrate Bisexuality Day), September 23rd. I was totally surprised — and honored. Check it out, I’m a leader! http://www.thetaskforce.org/blog/20080923-sue-hyde-bisexuality-day?tr=y&auid=4049230
Also, the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation […]

Bi Athlete Out of the Closet and Getting Press

Sunday, September 14th, 2008

Basketball player Zach Puchtel came out last year, but the news finally seems to be getting attention now. Check out one of the original articles about him announcing his bisexuality: http://www.minnesotamonitor.com/showDiary.do?diaryId=2667.
I’m not sure why the media has been slow to pick up on this story, but I’m glad more are taking notice. Kudos to Zach […]
