Dear Tiggy,
Is there a bisexual magazine available for home delivery? I have been searching but cannot find anything.
-Kelli
The first one that comes to mind is the one I subscribe to: the Boston Bisexual Women Network (BBWN) newsletter, Bi Women. It’s produced in Boston but the content is from bisexuals all over the world. Expert bisexual Robyn Ochs is the current editor and she welcomes submissions of personal essays, fiction, poetry, interviews, research, and more for each themed issue. Most importantly, it’s the only other place you can read the “Ask Tiggy” column besides right here!
Beyond Bi Women, definitely check out the latest bisexual magazine to hit the stands: Bi Social, edited by Adrienne Williams, founder of Bi Social Network (more on that in a minute). In the U.K., Bi Community News publishes its super-informative magazine and later posts the content online. The Fence was a great bi magazine out of Canada that’s no longer in print, but you can order back issues on the website. Surprisingly, that’s more than I can say for defunct legendary bi rag Anything That Moves. (Not even on eBay, wow.)
While you can get Bi Women and Bi Community News delivered to your house in a plain white envelope, you can also peruse them via computer. In fact, online magazines are really how it’s done today, allowing for more privacy, convenience, and environmentalism. So unless you enjoy being an exhibitionist, cumbersome, tree-killing bi, here are some online magazines that you might give a shot…
- BiMagazine.org: the American Institute of Bisexuality’s blog on bi news and art
- BiMedia.org: a news outlet for bi commentary and a publicity resource for British bi projects
- BiNet USA’s Blog: all the American bi news that’s fit to post
- Bi Community News: catch up with bis across the pond with this UK online magazine
- Bi Social Network: entertainment, news, social issues, and geekery, all with bi flavor
- Bialogue: bisexual/pansexual dialogue where folks take action, not just offense
As you surf, don’t forget about the personal bi blogs. Shiri Eisner’s blog, Radical Bi, is an inspired burst of opinions and observations from a genderqueer, disabled bisexual in Tel Aviv. And Eponymous Fliponymous is a relatively new site by a bi guy who’s taking the blogosphere by storm. Additionally, if you’re on Facebook, pages like the following are quite active with daily bi news…
- Bisexual Resource Center
- Bisexual Women
- Bisexual Men
- Brenda WeRemember Howard
- Bisexuals Against Douchebags (BAD)
…and various other bi Facebook pages exist that are specific to geography or community.
So, my dear, there’s all you need to bone up on bi happenings. If you require more bi news than all these provide, you’ll have to go out into the world and make it yourself. We’re waiting…
