I’m on my way over to the Femmethology book reading (if you’re in the San Francisco Bay Area, come join us at Pegasus Books today at 6 p.m.), but want to take a minute to share this link with you, a bisexual Fourth of July message: http://binetusa.blogspot.com/2009/07/happy-fourth-of-july.html. Independence Day is a complicated holiday, like all […]

Here are a couple of websites to keep an eye on, if you’re not already a feed subscriber. These folks are setting the record straight, so to speak, with commentary on sex and gender politics. (Thanks to friends who brought these to my attention.)
Queer Subversion
Bi-Furious
And here’s a fun question for you: should I join Twitter? […]

My friend Joanne Herman directed my attention to this new website/ grassroots LGBT movement call to action, The Dallas Principles, which she was involved in creating!
Although I am disappointed that none of the 24 authors of the Principles are out bisexuals (at least, according to their bios on the site) — especially considering that in […]

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 didn’t get a chance to comment on the election in last week’s blog post — I had the post pre-loaded and ready to go, because of some school work that I knew would be capturing my attention last Sunday. But, here goes…)
We won! (This is me, coming out as a Democrat.) We won! And […]

Thanks to my friend Krisana for telling me about this brilliant, inspirational piece by Sasha Dichter on nonprofit fundraising: http://sashadichter.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/manifesto-in-defense-of-raising-money_sasha1.pdf.
Here’s an excerpt:
This is not about competition for resources, this is about increasing the size of the pie. We’ve seen an unprecedented growth in global wealth in the last two decades: there are currently 95,000 […]

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, […]
