Over the winter break, I’ve been reading, drawing, and writing. It is cold, dark, and wet, but the isolation has given me time to explore my queerness—to think about it, to truly understand it. For a long time, I felt pretty isolated and stealth about my identity, due partly to shame, embarrassment, and general reluctance. It is a complex journey, but one that is necessary.
Recently, that search for understanding led me to two books: Bi: The Hidden Culture, History, and Science of Bisexuality by Julia Shaw, and Bisexual Men Exist by Vaneet Mehta. I discovered a hidden culture and history that I never knew existed.
