bisexual podcast

Today we are joined by Mahmoud Shabeeb,  also known as Moody. Moody is with us today to speak on the queer Palestinian and greater Palestinian experience. Please note that this episode was recorded on October 20th, since then the situation in Gaza has escalated greatly and we recommend watching closely via sources like Democracy Now. 

Big thank you to Moody for trusting us with his story, we encourage you all to take a deep breath and please listen to today's episode with an open mind and loving heart.

Going from unseen to seen.

This episode is the recording of our live event at Lush Lounge and Theater. And we welcome back William Burleson! You remember him from Season One, when we discussed how his book Bi America was life-giving for our guest Neil Aasve. Now, William talks with me about the book that saved his life: The Bisexual Option by Fritz Klein, MD. He shares with us, "I have to say, coming out as Bi, at first to myself, and then later to other people, there is really an uphill climb to find community. It's better today. We have Google. But nonetheless, it's still difficult. So when I went into a bookstore and I found the book The Bisexual Option, that was revolutionary."

And....William went on to meet Fritz who wrote the forward to Bill's own book!

Continuing on from last week's discussion about Whitney Houston & all the drama in it, this week, guest co-host Angie & Steffi delve deeper into Robyn Crawford's memoir "A Song for You: My Life with Whitney Houston."

In the 2nd & final installment of these bonus episodes, Angie & Steffi explore some interesting hypothetical situations: Would Whitney come out today if she were alive? If Bobby came out with his book & outed Whitney, would Whitney come out then? Additionally, we discover that we share the same favorite Whitney Houston album & we talk about some of our favorite Whitney Houston songs. We hope you enjoy the final part of this discussion and Whitney & Robyn: you deserved better.
