Bisexual Forum Targets Invisibility and Bigotry 
Bisexuals, the “B” in “LGBT,” are actually the largest of the four groups represented by that unlovely acronym, but they’re also among the most misunderstood people in the Queer community. They face bitter and often ferocious prejudice and bigotry not only from homophobic straight people but from Gays and Lesbians whose anti-Bi beliefs lead them to be threatened by the existence of Bi people. The Bisexual Forum of San Diego held a workshop at the San Diego Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender ...

Bin Laden: Justice or Revenge? The recent killing of Osama bin Laden by a U.S. Navy SEAL team spells an end to a remarkably successful terror operation that, by mounting one effective attack on September 11, 2001, ratcheted up the level of terror and fear in the U.S.; provided public support for a long-standing radical-Right agenda to effectively eliminate the due-process rights of the U.S. Constitution and put Americans under continuous surveillance; gave the Bush administration the pretext to invade Afghanistan and Iraq ...

On one side are the members of the self-styled “LGBT Redistricting Task Force,” who are pushing a major redesign of the city’s Queer-influenced District 3, pushing out the people of color and less affluent Queers in City Heights and adding more upscale neighborhoods like Mission Hills and Bankers’ Hill to the Hillcrest/North Park core of the district.
