Not all bisexuals are non-mongamous. HOWEVER.
There is a class of bisexual education that I personally think of as Bisexual Myth Busting™️, largely due to the fact that, well, it involves bi educators literally getting up and making lists of myths that they want to bust. You are, I assume, already mentally tabulating a list of said myths: It’s a myth…

The bisexual to pothead pipeline.
At long last, it finally happened: my Google alert for “bisexual” led me to a news story that didn’t fill me with rage. We did it, everyone! The news item in question was a press release from Washington State University, where researchers recently did a study (which you can see here) looking at cannabis use among…

It’s all just words, you know.
To begin with I should say that I did not see the offending tweet, it was deleted before I caught wind of it. All I know is that a hacker who leaked the TSA’s No Fly List also had a tweet talking about being a bi lesbian, and this, it seems, made people mad. Teenage queers started…

When did you know you were bi?
Years ago, I was chatting with a heterosexual friend and she told me what I guess you could call her heterosexual origin story. “Oh, I’ve known I was straight since I was a kid,” she said, going on to regale me with stories of her boy crazy youth. She was kissing boys under the slide…

There are no M3GAN spoilers in this email.
After three weeks in the theaters and some impressive returns at the box office, the horror comedy M3GAN has solidified itself as a hit — and, as you may have heard, a gay movie. SNL did a digital short with two M3GANs hitting the club, The New York Times did an explainer as to why gay men are losing their minds over…

A “loss” of queerness
What does it mean to “lose” one’s queerness? Is it even possible? And if one does “lose” their queerness the way one can misplace, I dunno, car keys, then can one’s queerness be found, be reclaimed? I feel like this is the subject matter of a lot of personal essays about being a bisexual. You…

Forever young.
For my entire life, one thing has always been true: the young people, they’re going gay. You can see it in the stats. With every generation, a greater percentage of folks wind up identifying as queer, with bisexuals gaining the most ground. According to Gallup numbers from last year, a full 15% of Gen Z is bi,…

Bizarro world.
There’s this phenomenon I’ve been experiencing for the past few years, ever since I got really serious about unpacking and understanding the depths of my internalized biphobia. At one point I might have referred to the experience as “taking the red pill,” but since that metaphor has been utterly ruined by the world’s worst people,…

My (bi) wife.
It is a generally accepted fact that any man who wishes to open up his relationship because he seeks sexual novelty beyond his wife but does not want to cheat will soon find that it is his wife, and not him, who is the biggest beneficiary of their new arrangement (doubly so if the man…

I watched Bros so you don’t have to.
For the past few months — ever since Billy Eichner had a hissyfit about Bros not doing numbers at the box office — I’ve had this little joke about how I felt legally obligated to watch the movie at some point, about how I worried that if I didn’t watch eventually, Billy Eichner was going to show up…
