Legalizing Gay Marriage
Bisexuality
In many contemporary Occidental societies, bisexuality is paradoxical. Commonly conceived as a combination of heterosexuality and homosexuality, bisexuality as such became conceivable only after the popularization of the hetero/homosexual dichotomy during the late 19th and 20th centuries. Paradoxically, however, the concepts of hetero- and homosexuality, reflecting the cultural belief that an individual's feelings of sexual attraction are natural…
Make Me a Map
Traditionally, a community is a socially interconnected group of people living and working in close geographic proximity to each other for example, a small town. However, in contemporary Western societies, high rates of geographic mobility, compartmentalized relationships, and the replacement of social relationships based on factors of birth with relationships based on common interests have rendered this form of community increasingly scarce. For…
Two Many and Not Enough
Developing sexual identity is a challenge for individuals who do not fit neatly into monosexual categories. This paper explores the use and meanings of bisexual identity among 917 individuals who are attracted to both women and men or have had sexual contact with both women and men. The data are from the International Bisexual Identities, Communities, Ideologies, and Politics (IBICIP) study. The main focus of this paper is qualitative analysis of…
Bisexuality
The cultural construction of ‘lesbian’ and ‘heterosexual’ women in late‐nineteenth‐century European cultures created both the possibility of conceiving the “bisexual” woman and the belief that bisexuality cannot exist. Social scientists have suggested several alternatives to dichotomous constructions of sexuality to facilitate the conceptualization of, and therefore empirical research on, bisexuality. This article reviews these alternatives and s…
Coming Out” in the Age of Social Constructionism
This article examines sexual identity formation among 346 lesbian-identified and 60 bisexual-identified women. On average, bisexuals come out at later ages and exhibit less "stable" identity histories. However, variations in identity history among lesbians and bisexuals overshadow the differences between them and demonstrate that coming out is not a linear, goal-oriented, developmental process. Sexual identity formation must be reconceptualized a…

Neutralizing the political threat of the marginal woman
One might expect lesbian and bisexual women to form a strong alliance because of their common marginalization in a heterosexist and sexist society. But previous research has shown that tension exists between lesbian and bisexual women and that some segments of the lesbian community consider bisexuality a threat to lesbian politics. In this article I report data on beliefs about bisexual women gathered from 346 self‐identified lesbians via self‐ad…

The Politics of Sexual Identity
In the lesbian community, one which based upon a shared sexual minority identity, recent attempts to add the category “bisexual” to the prevailing dichotomous conceptualization of sexuality have led to various popular conceptualizations of sexuality, Lesbian-identified women disagree among themselves and with bisexual-identified women over whether bisexuality exists, and if so, what it is. As a result, individuals develop lesbian and bisexual ide…
