Chicago Matriarch

Paige Listerud was a supporter of Action Bi Women, Queer Nation and Bi Political Action Coalition in the 1980's. Then later, a supporter of Chicago Bisexual Network (CBN) in the late 1990's. Ironically, CBN was booed at a Pride parade. The same parade that was brought to us by Brenda Howard, "Mother of Pride," a Bisexual feminist.

It is our very own Bisexual liaison, Br. Michael C. Oboza (ret) who met Paige to learn about Bisexual history in Chicago. After their meeting, Paige became Oboza's first inspiration. Oboza fought for Bisexual visible equality to later become the first Bi liaison with Center on Halsted and founder of Bisexual Queer Alliance Chicago with his original vision to help continue Chicago Bisexual history... And herstory.
