Bisexuals are more at risk for mental health problems than our straight, lesbian, and gay peers. Whatever your baseline was before the pandemic, it’s probable that your struggles are feeling a bit worse. In this episode, Annie and Rose spoke with Dr. Mimi Hoang, a nationally-recognized, bi-affirming psychologist, educator, author, and grassroots activist specializing in the LGBTQ+ and Asian Pacific Islander (API) communities. Dr. Mimi tells us about how to deal with isolation during quarantine, finding a therapist, and supporting those experiencing racial trauma.

There’s nothing hotter than talking about research and data! Annie and Rose get steamy and talk about how attraction is measured, how it’s funded, and why it matters. Spoiler alert: the data that exists about bisexual people might impact you more than you think. Did we miss something or you want to compliment us?

Harrie Farrow grew up in the Virgin Islands and graduated summa cum laude from San Francisco State with a BA in Psychology and a minor in Human Sexual Studies. A brief career in freelance writing in the Virgin Islands was followed by a move to the Ozarks, where she opened and operated a fine dining restaurant for 18 years. She became an investigative reporter after retiring from the restaurant business, but four slashed tires convinced her to quit that line of work and instead focus on publishing her bisexual themed novel, “Love, Sex, and Understanding the Universe.” Farrow is also a former board member of BiNet USA. She’s written a monthly bisexual column for The Gayly; written articles for Bi Women Quarterly, including a piece entitled “Solutions for Bisexual Mental Health Issues;” and was the exclusive writer on bisexual topics for the online LGBT news and entertainment site, Hornet, and wrote for the Bisexual Institute of America’s blog, and BiNet USA’s blog. Also, in 2016, Farrow was a nominated Change Maker to the White House Summit on the State of Women, and in conjunction, attended the Federal Justice Department’s symposium on violence against women. She was selected also that year to participate in the White House’s convening on Advancing Progress for Rural LGBT peoples. In 2016 as well, Farrow gave a workshop at the Bisexual Empowering Conference (BECAUSE) on bisexual specific mental health issues. Later that year, Farrow was given a scholarship to take part in Arkansas HRC’s LGBT competency training for medical and mental heath professionals. In 2017 Farrow got involved in resistance work, and became an Indivisible leader in her area. Working with the Center for Popular Democracy and other National advocacy/activism organizations, she participated in more than a dozen actions in Washington D.C including being arrested 9 times in civil disobedience actions, such as during the Kavanaugh hearing and the Senate vote on the GOP Tax bill. In 2018 Farrow was elected as Justice of the Peace in Carroll Country Arkansas, and is running for a second term. She is working on completing her second novel, “Finding Bonita.” Please contact Harrie Farrow for requests to speak, write, consult and/or educate about bisexuality, resistance activism, Twitter for activism/advocacy, or diversity and inclusivity.

[TW: Biphobia, Suicide] Today’s guest is Lynnette McFadzen, the host of the BiCast and current board member of BiNet USA. We’re going to talk about her journey, her podcast, BiNet USA, and why bisexual visibility matters. Enjoy!
Just what is bisexuality? Perhaps the least understood members of the LGBTQ community are our bisexual sisters and brothers. Is it merely a romantic attraction, sexual attraction or sexual behavior toward both males and females? Does it also encompass romantic or sexual attraction to people of any gender identity or to a person irrespective of that person's biological sex or gender? What’s the difference between pansexuality and being polyamourous? President of BiNet USA Faith will talk about and not only define the “B” in LGBTQ but also dispel many of the myths and discrimination faced by the bisexual community. As President of BiNet USA, Faith Cheltenham helps coordinate bisexual advocacy, outreach and networking efforts for the bisexual, pansexual and fluid communities in America. It is the oldest national bisexuality organization in the United States. Are you bisexual? Do you feel misunderstood, excluded and even discriminated against by members of the GAY community? Do you want your voice to be heard?
