Reseña del editor:

Getting Bi: Voices of Bisexuals Around the World, Second Edition is the broadest single collection of bisexual literature available today. Getting Bi collects 220 essays from around the world that explore bisexual identity. Topics include coming out, relationships, politics, community, and more. The book also addresses the intersection of bisexuality with race, class, ethnicity, gender identity, disability and national identity. Authors from 42 countries discuss bisexuality from personal perspectives and their own cultural contexts – providing insight into societal views on bisexuality from countries ranging from Colombia to China.“This groundbreaking book is the perfect read for bisexual, queer, curious, and questioning people; everyone from the newly out to long-time community leaders; and bi allies of all stripes,” said Matt Foreman, Executive Director of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force (NGLTF). "Getting Bi is one of the most important recent contributions to the global struggle for human rights. By enriching our understanding of bisexuality within so many cultural and geographic contexts, this anthology serves as a magnificent tool for building support and respect for the the sexual rights of each one of us," said Paula Ettelbrick, Executive Director of the International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission.
