For all their differences, gay and straight people are often united in their problems with bisexuality. People who follow their hearts wherever they lead, regardless of gender, are still usually met with disbelief and suspicion. From confessional, personal accounts to erotic flights of fancy to undersea identity politics, this collection of comics invites the reader to step outside of the categories and explore the wild and wonderful uncharted territory between gay and straight. Featuring comics and illustrations by Adam Pruett, Agnes Czaja, Alex Dahm, Amy T. Falcone, Ashley Cook & Caroline Hobbs, Bill Roundy, Ellen Forney, Erika Moen, Jason A. Quest, Jason Thompson, John Lustig, Jon Macy, Josh Trujillo & Dave Valeza, Kate Leth, Kevin Boze, Leanne Franson, Leia Weathington, Lena H. Chandhok, Margreet de Heer, MariNaomi, Maurice Vellekoop, Melaina, Nick Leonard, Powflip, Randall Kirby, Roberta Gregory, Sam Orchard, Sonya Samantha Saturday, Stasia Burrington, Steve Orlando, Tania Walker, and Tara Madison Avery & Mike Sullivan. Featuring an introduction by editor Charles "Zan" Christensen and a foreword by PoMoSexuals author Carol Queen, PhD. Winner of the Bisexual Book Award for Bisexual Nonfiction! Recognized by the American Library Association's "Over the Rainbow Project" as one of their Top Ten Favorites!

Despite the fact that I am bisexual and love comics, I decidedly did NOT love this bi comics anthology. I do love and respect the work of some of the creators, but overall this anthology is overwhelmingly aimed for monosexuals, trying to educate and make them feel sorry for us. The conversation is consistently centred on gay/straight. Pieces are repetitive about dispelling myths, and recounting horrible biphobia; others do not fit the theme.

My next read for the #Readathon. I'm already feeling a bit hesitant on how much the marketing around this book is fixed on the words "gay" and "straight" instead of bisexual! The back cover declares "For all their differences, gay and straight people are often united in their problems with bisexuality...explore the wild and wonderful uncharted territory between gay and straight." So, this is a book for gay and straight people?? WTF. #queerlit

So is this a too ambitious TBR for @DeweysReadathon tomorrow? What do y'all think? I mean, comics and poetry collections go fast right?

BookishFeminist Definitely not too much depending on how fast you read. I've gotten through this many before for Dewey's, esp with comics & stuff! 8y
CaseyTheCanadianLesbrarian @BookishFeminist Okay I'm gonna give it my best shot! 8y
