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 […]

Sunday, September 7th, 2008

I want to let you know about an exciting event coming up in Boston in just a couple of weeks. As you probably know, September 23rd is National Celebrate Bisexuality Day. (You don’t have to be bisexual to celebrate, by the way.) And, in honor of the occasion, the Bisexual Resource Center, which is a […]

Reason #432 Why I Love San Francisco

Sunday, August 31st, 2008

The Center for Sex and Culture turned it out last night! They hosted a show called Original Sin, which was curated by Wendy Delorme and Billie Sweet — and it was the place to be. There was spoken word, burlesque, stripping, singing, dancing, experimental film, and a gorgeous and lovely vibe created by all the […]

If you’re a studenty, faculty, or staff member at a university, and you’re interested in bringing more bisexual and trans ed to your school, here are a couple of things that I can help you […]

Curve Magazine is Bi-Licious!

Sunday, July 6th, 2008

There are so many reasons I love Curve magazine, and not just because I have an article in their latest issue! I love that Curve is going the distance for bisexual women, telling it like it is about our lives, and acknowledging that we do have a place at the lesbian table — and vice […]

I Got It On With Bonnie

Sunday, June 22nd, 2008

Recently, Bonnie interviewed me about Bi Request for her podcast, and it’s now up and on the website!

Gratitude

Sunday, April 20th, 2008

I was so delighted and honored to speak at not one but two universities this past week. First I got to talk to the amazing psychology grad students at the Wright Institute in Berkeley on Tuesday, as part of their 5th Annual Symposium on Culture & Diversity. Then I travelled to Baltimore, to give a […]
