Live from New York, it's me!

At least, it will be me in a few days. And hopefully it'll be warmer than the last time I was there.

So what takes me to the Big Apple? I've accepted an invitation to speak at an LGBT summit in New York. I'm a late addition to the "Putting the 'B' in LGBT Summit" being held Saturday at the LGBT Community Center in New York. The event focuses on bisexual issues, an often misunderstood part of the pride rainbow. So for one day, a distinguished group of individuals are coming together to set the record straight. So to speak.

Panels include discussions about bisexual myths and realities, how bisexuals are uniquely affected by traditionally gay issues such as "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," how the media can be encouraged to become more bi inclusive. Some great authors, editors and activists will be on hand for the event, and we'll doubtless dispense a few bits of wisdom as we make bad jokes and poke fun at each other. It should be a fun show. And did I mention it's free?

So, yeah, for one night only: Me. Get your tickets now.
