ABSTRACT

I have recently celebrated my twelfth anniversary as a bisexual activist. Much of my activism has taken place in the Boston area lesbigay 1 community. In most of the lesbian and gay groups I have been involved with, I have been one of two or three out bisexuals. During my decade of activism I have learned a great deal, both from my own mistakes, and from other people’s. I have said and done things which I have instantly and thoroughly regretted, and experienced moments of proud accomplishment. At times I have felt like a supplicant, a second-class citizen, a token, a nuisance; at other times an equal, a leader, a decorated veteran, a sister.
