Hello all,

I know I haven't been on this site much lately, but I have great news to share: I was on West Hollywood public access TV today!! :bigrin: I have a friend who does a 1/2 hour show called "Kitty Mak Live" where she interviews various community leaders. So she had asked me to be on her show and talk about the bi community. So we did the taping a couple weeks ago (NOT live, at my request!), and talked about my study, which was on sexual identity, internalized monosexism, and infidelity among bi women. I also talked about various issues within the bi community, and the continued lack of acceptance among both straight and gay communities. The show just aired today at 6pm on West Hollywood public access. I still haven't gotten a hold of the actual finished tape, so I'm a bit nervous about what exactly aired :crosseye:, but hopefully I got my points across!

So it's just local public access, but at least the bi community got some air-time today!!! :flag3:

Congrats! And many thanks for all that you do for our community.

Too bad we can't see that show. It would be nice to see a bisexual on TV that wasn't a murder or cheat.

Congratulations!!!

Thank you for trying to bring more positive exposure to Bisexuality!

would love to know if it ever ends up on you tube or some similar place so we can all see it!

Blessed Be~

Thanks for all the well wishes, everyone!! One of my biggest goals in life is to help people be who they are (bi folks) and to help people think outside the box (non-bi folks).

As for getting it on You Tube, I will see what I can do. I asked one of my friends who lives in West Hollywood to Tivo and tape it, so we'll have to see how/if it can be converted to an online format. Maybe I could at least post it on this site somehow. Does anyone have any ideas??

COOL MIMI!!!

Send that tape to LOGO. I"m not kidding. They bill themselves as a channel for Gays and Lesbians, so they probabily won't show it. But they should.

That's a fabulous idea and kind of funny. :cutelaugh

We'll see how the tape turns out, and if I'm ready to broadcast myself to a national audience. :tong:

Mimi,
I hope that the tape pleased you? If it did, give me a shout and I'll help you present it to the LGBT and Psych Departments here at UCLA. Keep up the good work Angel.
