Is this a — gasp! — useful explainer?
Friends, you know me: I hate most sexuality explainers. Are you bisexual or pansexual? Are you pansexual or abrosexual? Are you omnisexual or polysexual? Truly, I could not care less, and mostly see these explainers as a way to sow division within the broader umbrella community of people who are attracted to multiple genders. However….

How can you know what is bi when you don’t even know what is straight?
Another day, another “teehee was/is this famous person bisexual????” item from an absolutely clueless queer media. This one comes to us from The Advocate, which repackaged an equally brief exclusive interview from The Messenger, all in service of the posing the following to the internet masses: “Hugh Hefner famously slept with many women. But did…

I am, but.
There is a scene in the A League of Their Own tv show that has been on my mind of late. I’m too lazy to look it up so I can quote it verbatim, but the gist is along the lines of this: Abbi Jacobson’s character (Carson? I think her name was Carson) is asked…

The world is finally ready for Bi-llie Joe Armstrong
I would not say that I was a Green Day fan growing up, though not because I wasn’t a Green Day fan, not exactly. In my teens (and, honestly, still) my relationship to music was too erratic to really be a “fan” of any specific group — save for the occasional artist who’d I’d get…

You don’t want Bilor
Although it pains me to admit it, I am still thinking about this weird obsession with Taylor Swift’s private sexual relationships. It’s not because I care about TSwift’s private life myself — I truly don’t, aside from generally hoping that she is happy — but rather an obsession with the obsession with her private life….

The gender gap
Years ago, when I was making significantly worse life choices, I used to hang out with a dude who held, shall well say, incel lite views*. On more than one occasion, we’d get into arguments about men and women and dating. He would insist that it was just inherently easier for women to date and…

A website for the modern bisexual.
A website for the modern bisexual.
In the fall of 2023, I noticed something strange. After a flurry of interest of interest in bisexuality — packages devoted to Bisexual Awareness Week, article after article about how biphobia was real and the bisexuals were, in fact, struggling — Bisexual Awareness Week had once again descended upon us and there was… nothing. No dedicated weeks on any of my favorite sites. No essays rehashing old and new bisexual gripes. Even the pitches I sent in about bisexuality generated little to no interest from editors.
It seemed that the media world was just… done with bisexuals.
And as a frustrated bisexual with a lot of things to say, I decided to do what every writer was doing: I started a newsletter about bisexuality. Welcome to The B+ Squad.
All essays I’ve written on bisexuality — including ones from the project’s Substack era — are on this site. If you’d like to support the project (and get bonuses for yourself, including early access to essays), you can check out my Patreon.
