Summary: Worthy for encouraging early dialogue
Comment: Even now, as in 1991 when this compilation of essays was published, a communnity for the bisexual person is essentially non-existent and, if contemporary studies are accurate, its members face prejudices that not even the gay community had in its evolution. "Bi Any Other Name," one of the pioneering publications that even acknowledged much less discussed in detail the dynamics being bi, is a worthy and valid read for both men and women whose dual attractions come with a sense of isolation and self-doubt. The essays here elicit the experiences of emotions of men and women bisexuals who share their own personal issues of loneliness, shame and secrecy and, for many, how they found the courage to come to terms with themselves and the sexual mores that sometimes condemn them. Especially now, when contemporary (2003) research indicates that bisexuals are literally hated even more than gays (with the rationale being that bi's introduced AIDS into the "straight" community?), the stories of the people featured in this book may provide a source of strength and a sense that the individual is not truly alone. For an early effort, this collection of personal stories may well be more relevant now than then.

Summary: A necessary read for anyone contemplating sexuality
Comment: This book is a necessary read for anyone who has ever questioned, contemplated, or experimented with his or her own sexuality. It dispels many of the myths surrounding bisexuality, and affirms the myriad facets bisexuality contains. The voices in this book are at times angry, touching, warm, joyful, you name it! This book prooves there is no pigeon hole to file sexual behavior away in. However, it also demonstrates the need for a bisexual community that bisexuals can identify with and draw strength from. With the variety of stories told in this book, Bi Any Other Name, affirms that this community does in fact exist. Read it!
