***** bump bump bump *****
There's a recent documentary that's been released about Whitney Houston and Robyn Crawford which explores bisexuality..... And social repercussions that often accompany this particular sexual identity (doc on the Showtime cable channel network: Free To Be Me). I know what it's like to rise to the challenge of social stigma that often comes with this identification . I haven't watched the documentary yet, so I can't give any sort of recommendation about neutrality or other objective presentation of bisexuality. But it's nice to know that our little slice of life gets some form of exposure in film.

After seeing the movie I wished Whitney didn't have to choose between her family's approval and Robyn. It's sad that when Robyn leaves and refuses to participate in the chaos around Whitney, Whitney dives further into helplessness. It's a sad but real movie, and yes, I also cannot recommend it enough as well! That Scottish body guard though. I can't believe he was the only one who dared to try and help. |

I cringed when they showed the clip from Oprah and Whitney's mother!
The clip where Oprah asks if it would bother her if Whitney was gay and she responses in the affirmative...don't even get me started ![]() |

For those who identify as bisexual, here's an trusted organization that offers resources for building community, counseling, opportunities to represent our sector and become an important ally to others in the greater LGBTQ community; BiNet USA .
BiNet USA is the longest running organization committed to educating, organizing and offering services or opportunities to be of service in personal or political ways, which strengthens the Bi-community locally or nationally. LINK: www.binetusa.org Edited to say: Here's an well written article published last year by GLAAD about the history and deep roots of bisexuality in the LGBTQ movement Some of Stonewall's biggest activists of the 60s & 70s were bisexual. My favorite all time celebrity bisexual personality was June Jordan: Jamaican African American Bisexual Poet, English Professor and activist for bisexual identity within the greater Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer community. Anyway, here's the link to the GLAAD 2017 article: https://www.glaad.org/blog/us-bisexu...history-lesson |
