Becoming visible : counseling bisexuals across the lifespan - I dedicate this book to all of my lovers and friends, past and present, who have contributed to my understanding of bisexuality, the richness of my life, and the fullness of my being. I especially dedicate this book to bisexuals everywhere who long to be loves and appreciated for who they are and to people of every sexual orientation and gender identity who have the courage to continue the journey of becoming through every season of their lives.
Bi any other name : bisexual people speak out - For my daughter, Danielle the great - L.K & for us, beautiful bisexuals, we love you! - L.H.
Bisexual politics : theories, queries, and visions - To the memory of David Lourea, who inspired the revolutionary in so many of us, and to all those who have struggled and put their lives on the line so that we could come out and be free, with pride, rage, sisterhood, and love.
Bisexuality : the psychology and politics of an invisible minority - Dedicated to bisexual people everywhere - Come out, come out, wherever you are, It it our time to dance!
Bisexual women in the twenty-first century - To my son Rowan and the children of my community of lovers. To the possibilities that we have opened and that they will take in directions of which we have yet to dream.
Bisexuality : making the invisible visible in faith communities - As noted in the section on religious traditions, writers from different traditions contributed thoughtful pieces on bisexuality. We are grateful to Imam Daaiyee Abdullah; Rev. Dr. Kelly Brown Douglas; Chaplain Allison Kestenbaum, Jewish Theological Seminary; Rabbi Debra Kolodny; Rev. Will McGarvey, Community Presbyterian Church of Pittsburg, CA; and Dr. Kate M.Ott, Drew Theological School, for their essays.
Many people contributed stories for our case studies. They include Rev. Dr. Janet Edwards, Mc. Lacey Louwagie, Rev. Summer Shaud, and severl clergy and lay people who gave permission to publish their stories anonymously.
We are especially thankful to our friends and colleagues who identify as bisexual and who were infinitely patient as we discussed this work with them and sought their input. This book is much richer for their contributions, questions and challenges.
Bi any other name : bisexual people speak out - Juliet: O Romeo, Romeo! Deny thy father, and refuse thy nameā¦ O! be some other name: whatās in a name? that which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.
Romeo: With loveās light wings did I oāer-perch these walls: For stony limits cannot hold love out and what love can do, that dares love attempt.
Shakespeareās tragedy, Romeo and Juliet, is about lovers whose warring families prevent their love. We bisexuals are also caught between our heterosexual and homosexual families. Weāre called by every other name but bi, and still we dare attempt our love. Thus, the title for our book.
