From your Editor: People Say the Strangest Things

May 1, 2011 | 2011 Spring - People Say the Strangest Things, Editor's Note

Dear Reader,

The theme of this issue is “People Say the Strangest Things.” Readers were asked, “What are some of the strangest, funniest, most outrageous, heartwarming or interesting things people have said to you in reaction to your coming out to them as bisexual?”

Apparently, we hit a nerve because we received so many responses that there wasn’t room to include them all.

We present to you the writing of Amy Andre, Natasha Avital, Betty Aubut, Jo-Anne Carlson, Loren Gomez, Aicilia Lewis, Daphne L. Kanellopoulos, Monica Meneghetti, Robyn Ochs, Ellyn Ruthstrom, Dani SK, Jess Wells, Jayelle WigginsLunacharsky, Lara Zielinsky, several letters to the editor, and a new advice columnist, “Tiggy Upland.”

We also put out a special call for artwork and graphics, and we are delighted to include photographs by Karla Rossi, drawings by Jo-Anne Carlson and Dani SK, and a comic strip by Kathleen Hepburn. You’ll also find a Bi Women Around the World column featuring Jacquelyn Applebee from London, UK, a report-back from the 2011 Creating Change Conference and, of course, our Calendar of Events.

Enjoy this newsletter, and please consider adding your voice and/ or artwork to the next issue of Bi Women.

— Robyn
