Opis

How much do you know about the lives of bisexual men who are married to women? Do you know any personally? Have you seen them represented in the media or pop culture? Bisexual people make up a majority of the LGBT+ community, but they are still relatively hidden and misunderstood. 

Recenzje

"Cohen delivered-this book is truly amazing. His podcast Two Bi Guys and the discovery of his own bisexuality are a powerful foundation for the rich oral histories of the men interviewed. Bisexual men really do exist, and this innovative, intersectional resource is desperately needed to challenge the bi-erasure they endure. I can't wait to use it in my own classes!"

Lisa Spiedel, associate professor, Department of Women, Gender and Sexuality, University of Virginia

"A fascinating read that sheds a light on a demographic that is so often invisible. With an eclectic group of people, Cohen showcases the lived experiences of bisexual men married to women, highlighting their similarities despite their numerous differences. Through grace, sensitivity and wisdom gained through years of activism and conversations with others in the community, Cohen imparts his knowledge throughout a series of oral histories as well as sharing his own life. Even as someone who is not in a relationship with a woman, I found these stories resonating with me in countless ways. I have no doubt that this book will reach so many who are so often scared of the limelight."

Vaneet Mehta, author of Bisexual Men Exist: A Handbook for Bisexual, Pansexual, and M-Spec Men
