My dear darlings!  Max is back.  

Thanks for showing up for your Max-attack.  Yes, I know that I've strayed too far from your loving arms.

Sorry I've been away so long peeps.  

I've been job hunting and staying alive.  Writing theater criticism for chicagotheaterblog.com pays a little, but not enough.  I'm working on this being my breakthrough month for full-time employment.  Your kind though/… Read full post »

This just in my email from Equality Illinois:

Just moments ago, federal district court declared Proposition 8 to be unconstitutional!

Everyone wants safe space.  For some feminists and LGBTQ, establishing safe spaces against sexist and homophobic discrimination is still a lifelong pursuit.

Parents, has your teen come out to you as bisexual, lesbian, gay, queer, or transgendered?

Were you surprised by the disclosure?  (Maybe not!)

Are you worried about your teen's future?  Are you concerned about your teen's mental health?

Adolescence can be a trying time for an… Read full post »

Thanks, Vanessa.  Your voice counts in the growing surg… Read full post »

Fasten your seatbelts, Chi Bi/Queers.  This could be a bumpy ride.  I'm still playing catch-up, racing about to contribute my share to our contingent in Chicago's Pride Parade.  We have a reputation to keep up after setting a bold standard last year.  Chicago… Read full post »

Just when I thought I was going to turn over a new leaf and keep my blog classy, news comes out is that is just too good to resist.

Meet Geo--the bisexual, Latino, male prostitute hired by Family Research Council co-founder (with James Dobson),  NARTH member, and ultra-right Baptist ministe… Read full post »

 Welcome me back to my blog.  It's rather dusty around here.  But I have risen from the dead and returned, once again, to spread my bi-queer sexual fluidity all around these parts.

To wit:  I have never seen HBO's wildly successful and critically acclaimed series, True… Read full post »

I'll get back into the swing of things writing for this blog.  

In the meantime, a million thanks to Wayne Bryant of the BIACT-L listserv for bisexual activists, who alerted us all to an 86 year-old veteran's testimony for marriage equality in Maine.  People like this make me proud to… Read full post »

Even though you've been dead for a while, Mom, there's something we've got to have out, here and now.

That's right.  Last year, rep… Read full post »

Many thanks to Ed from Chicago Bi/Queer Meetup for alerting us all to this condom ad, now showing on MTV.

I am liking GLAAD more and more.  Soon, it will be a life-long love affair. Not that I didn't like them or anything before--just not really hooked on their work until they really started including bisexuals in their content, not just their mission statement.  Funny how that w… Read full post »

To whom it may concern at the Memphis Gay and Lesbian Community Center,

Pop star MIKA (aka Michael Holbrook Penniman) has just come out bisexual in the Dutch Gay and Night magazine.  Or rather, he is pretty much a "no labels" kind of guy, but will settle for bisexual, if you have to call him anything--a stance that's quite st… Read full post »

Adam and Eve and Carol and Bob and Alice ? 

I love hearing and reading positive things about bisexuality and seeing positive images of bisexual, pansexual, and fluid sexuality people.  Sheela Lambert's coverage of the recent MTV Video Music Awards is a zany bi-lapalooza… Read full post »
