Bisexuality

Although the 'B' has been in LBGT for over a decade in most places, bisexuality remains a poorly understood concept. This resource page was created in support of the recent visit to MSU by Robyn Ochs ("the absolute goddess of sexual fluidity," according to Kate Bornstein), who spoke about bisexual identity.
