Br. Michael's Winter Book Club

One of the few playful legendary landmark Bisexual studies was done by a woman. In 1995, Marjorie Garber, an English professor wrote a book, Vice Versa which explains in simple terms about transparent and consistent Bisexual research of the genuine existence of Bisexual pop culture and history. Beyond race, career and confronting Bisexual Erasure over countless decades, the over 500 pages are "very empowering to newly out bisexuals and our allies," said our Bisexual liaison, Br. Michael C. Oboza (ret.)  There are few of many interesting reads in the book that even fascinated Oboza, one of the few Bisexual leaders in Chicago's third wave of Bisexual community and activism from 2007, along with Noel Spain and Adrienne Williams.

First, Oboza read, "the early 19'th century poet, Samuel Taylor Coleridge could write of "the very old tradition of the homo androgynus- that is, that the original man was bisexual." Second, "Bisexual is preferred a 19'th century term, before that "the 17'th century term was bisexed, bisexous for both sexes." Lastly, before Oboza was born, "in 1974, television interviewer, Barbara Walters's weeklong discussion of bisexuality on a program aptly called "Not for Women Only." And 1975, there appeared books like Bisexual Living." There are also other Bisexual books that explain bisexual is not somewhere between homosexual and heterosexual, "a grey area," but, bisexual extends beyond that with countless individual experiences that have almost been forgotten.
