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 […]

I’m pretty excited to announce some recent publications of mine! I have an essay in Bridges: A Jewish Feminist Journal, which I co-authored with my friend Nzinga. Check out the Autumn 2008 issue for that piece. We wrote about our experiences as African American Jews, in an essay titled “Second Glances.” It’s published by Indiana […]

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 […]

I’m pretty excited about a new anthology coming out this spring! It’s called Femmethology, and it’s all about femmes. And my friend Sand and I co-authored an essay that’s in it! Femmethology is actually going to be a two-volume set. Our piece is in the first volume, fyi.
Anyway, as part of the campaign to spread […]

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 […]

In a little over a week, Californians will get to decide whether I can keep my legal right to marry the person I love, or if that right gets taken away. If you live in California, please vote “No” on Proposition 8 — because I want to get married!
Here’s an interesting video about marriage, […]

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. […]

My favorite sex-artist duo, Twincest, were at it again this week, this time with a live performance at the Femina Potens art gallery on Thursday night. The performance involved them drawing and then drinking shots of each others’ blood, bookended by some very sweet kissing and touching. And the cherry on top was that the […]
