Summary

• Through its diversity, bisexuality challenges notions of fixed sexual identity, and its very existence as a chosen identification raises interesting contradictions for both straight society and lesbian and gay groups. As increasing numbers of people reject society's attempts to impose rigid sexual stereotypes, the bisexual movement, both in Britain and around the world, has grown enormously.
• This encyclopaedic book offers a multifaceted, multicultural survey of bisexuality and the bisexual movement. The essays of experience and analysis in Bisexual Horizons have been edited by the Off Pink Collective, a group of bisexual activists who have pioneered the documentation of bisexual experience. This book marks an important stage in the recognition of the bisexual community, and is essential reading for anyone interested in the politics of sexuality.
