Read the full article for context and then DON'T just complain on LJ, instead take action by actually writing a letter to the author and editors including:

• the un-fabulous & biphobic author Luke Foster (totallygay@vueweekly.com)


• the Managing Editor Chris Boutet (chris@vueweekly.com)


• the Associate Editor Carolyn Nikodym (carolyn@vueweekly.com)


• and Ron Garth, Publisher and Editor (ron@vueweekly.com)

this article is X-posted from those truly Ab Fab people at Bisexual Resource Center (and you all Do have their RSS feed on your "friends list" so you can keep up with the latest Bi News & Info . . .  right?).Once again there are great discussions and actual action being taken on this topic all over the web!
