bisexual-community: IMPORTANT!! It’s time for the annual (2013)...

Mon, 20 May 2013 23:31:34 -0400

IMPORTANT!! It’s time for the annual (2013) International LGBT (marketing) Survey. As the Bisexual Resource Center asks PLEASE TAKE IT anytime thru June 30th, 2013. And then ‘Signal Boost’, Reblog and in general TELL ALL YOUR FRIENDS.

We especially need a LOT of Bisexual/Non-Monosexual Voices please.

Here is what it is all about:

Please take part in CMI’s 7th Annual LGBT Community Survey. Participation in this survey gives important feedback to our LGBT community media and organizations, and provides valid data to companies interested in serving our needs, sponsoring our charities, and supporting their LGBT employees. Last year, the survey was taken by over 45,000 LGBT citizens of 148 countries!

Your answers are completely confidential, and will never be used for sales or marketing purposes. The survey should take less than 15 minutes to complete.

We really need a lot of bisexual/non-mononsexual people to take this survey and share it with everyone they can think of becasue Community Marketing & Insights has graciously shared the important statistical information with Bisexual NGO’s/Charities & Academic Researchers. And these people in turn use it to be able to help provide direct and useful services to you! So please help in this annual effort. Thank You

“Yes, false rape accusations happen. Run the protocol anyway. I’ve heard that perhaps the military has the highest number of ‘em. True or not, RUN THE PROTOCOL ANYWAY. Because in 15 years of investigating rape accusations, I can count those that panned out as false on one hand. Meanwhile, the one time I almost skipped the protocol, the one time I almost didn’t believe a petty officer, because I was naive as an investigator and a young woman, because her commanding officer described her as “a party girl, always late, always out drinking, don’t bother with this one”, she turned out to be the victim of one of the most brutal assaults I’ve ever investigated. She shouldn’t have still been -alive-, let alone up and making the accusation. So let me repeat: five false accounts in fifteen years. And one time I almost failed a woman ‘cause of the bullshit way it’s normal to talk about us. Take your shipmates’ word, and then run the protocol. Every. Single. Time.”

Rory: You know, Howie had been in speech therapy. He’d just got over this massive stammer. Quite an achievement. I mean, can you imagine? I’d forgotten not all victories are about saving the universe.

I’ve seen a lot of this on Tumblr lately, so this is for all of you (including me) who want to run around in jean shorts all summer but feel like you can’t because of some intangible socially conscribed idea of what bare legs are ‘supposed’ to look like.

(Of course, some people have their own perfectly good reasons for wanting to cover up, and that’s just as fine).

Rocking shorts and skirts this summer.

Showing off my tattoos and stubble and scars.

Fuck em.

Go go flabby pale legs! :P

Radclyffe Hall (1880-1943)

It isn’t difficult to imagine the stir that Hall’s novel The Well of Loneliness caused in 1920s Britain. In a society still intolerant of homosexuality (dubbed ‘sexual inversion’), a book dealing openly with lesbianism was understandably controversial. Upon its publication it was heavily criticised and campaigned against by James Douglas, the pious editor of the conservative Sunday Express, who described it as ‘perverted’ and wrote: ‘I would rather give a healthy boy or a healthy girl a phial of prussic acid than this novel.’ The book was eventually banned after a lengthy obscenity trial. Hall herself fell in love with the sculptor Una Troubridge and in 1916 the two became long-time partners. They even shared an interest in Spiritualism and frequently held seances to contact Troubridge’s late cousin (and Hall’s late lover) Mabel Batten. Hall is buried in the Circle of Lebanon at Highgate Cemetery.
