KEYWORDS bisexuality, bisexual studies, Journal of Bisexuality, sexual fluidity, sexuality studies “Bisexuality is a concept with the potential to revolutionize Western cul- ture’s understanding of sex, gender, and sexual orientation.” (Beth Firestein, 1996, p. xix) INTRODUCTION Although bisexuality studies has grown in prominence as an academic sub- field within sexuality studies over the past several years, it has mostly existed in the shadows of gay and lesbian studies, and more recently it has been in the shadow of transgender studies as well. Bisexual activists have not “drawn the line in the sand” regarding fighting for their visibility and rights We are grateful for the assistance our research assistant, Victoria Somerville, provided on this project. We specifically appreciate the amount of time she devoted and the precision of her work. Address correspondence to John P.
