ABSTRACT

93Part social analysis and part personal narrative, this piece examines the intersection between female friendships and bisexuality, and explores the complex dynamics at play for bisexuals living in tension with conventions common to both straight and gay circles. It looks at ways the closet can disfigure bisexual lives and relationships, and at how unique forms of bisexual polyamory both defy and create belonging.
