Bisexuals on the Net

isexuals don’t get much
B respect it seems and that

is just from the gay and
esbian community, never
nind anywhere else. Bi-phobia
s unfortunately quite preva-
ent among those one would
hink would be most sympa-
hetic because of prejudice and
gnorance. To address the con-
zerns and issues surrounding
)isexuality as well as counter-
tct the prejudicial attitudes,
>isexuals themselves have had
0 develop support groups to
get their voices heard. Many of
hese groups have an online
)resence in the form of web
)ages, mailing lists and news-
groups.

The first stop for anyone
wanting to find bisexual
resources on the net should be
Bi All Means: the Bisexual
Person’s Guide to the Internet.
Everything bisexual is listed
from women’s pages to spiritu-
ality. If you have a page of
your own, you can add it to Bi
All Means by contacting the
webmaster. Definitely a ‘must
bookmark’ site.

Anything That Moves, the
magazine for bisexuals and
other sexual minorities, has a

The Queer Press Guide
2000

Painted Leai Press

Given the rate at which
small queer publications

move, fold, start up,
change personnel and
otherwise do the

chameleon thing, writers,
activists and advertisers
may want to check out
this reference work.

The Queer Press Guide
2000 offers contact infor-
mation, circulation fig-
ures, submission and pay-
ment information for
queer ‘print media on
every continent but one
(okay, so we haven’t con-
quered Antarctica quite
yet). The largest directory
of its kind in print, it also
contains information
about GLBT writers’
associations, and an essay
by Out in the Mountains
editor Barbara Dozetos
entitled ‘Why The Gay
Press Matters.”

Painted Leaf Press is
offering a special rate to
GLBT activists in the US;
if you order from their
800 number, they’ll ship
it for $12 postage includ-

bisexual health.

There are predominantly
gay and lesbian organizations
that are making an honest
effort to address the needs of
their bisexual members. For an
example how an organization
can accomplish that success-
fully, check out the GLAAD Bi
Visibility Project page.
According to GLAAD, those
involved with the project hope
to not only to introduce bi
issues to the community but to
“provide historical and on
going materials about bisexu-
ality and the media.” To that
end, there are articles on bisex-
ual history and the portrayal of
bisexuals in the media includ-
ing movies, music, and televi-
sion. Visitors are also encour-
aged to report any bi-phobia in

the media by clicking on the
Alertline Online link.

Here in Vermont, an effort is
being made to connect bisexu-
als throughout the state via a
new mailing list for discus-
sions and announcements. The
mailing list is available in
digest form if you prefer to get
your messages in one lump
sum. To subscribe, email to
majordomo@queernet.org.
Don’t fill in the subject field.
In the body of the email, write
subscribe binetvermont. To get
the list in digest form, email to
the same address but write sub-
scribe binetvermont-digest
instead. Also, Both Sides Now,
Vermont’s own discussion and
social group for bisexual men
and women, has a new home

page.

In the next issue, I’ll focus
on online resources for trans-
gendered persons and their
allies.V
