Tri(bi)ca Pick: Changing the Game tells trans teens’ stories with dignity – an interview with EP Alex Schmider
In light of the recent media flurry surrounding The Court of Arbitration in Sport’s (CAS) ruling against runner Caster Semenaya (a cisgender female Olympic runner whose naturally heightened testosterone levels were deemed an unfair advantage), it is clear that the social advocacy bent of Changing the Game is necessary. To continue the conversation on trans representation, and conscientious filmmaking, BRC interviewed Changing the Game’s Executive Producer Alex Schmider.
Tri(bi)ca Pick: A Preview of the Complicated Queerness in Vida’s Second Season
Lest Vida go the way of One Day at a Time (a quandry yet to be resolved or even illuminated by the ultra-secret business dealings at Netflix), Colindrez encourages everyone and their mothers to tune in. And if this “niche” show (a term that Prada had to break herself from subscribing to) doesn’t hook viewers with it queerness, they can take their pick of other themes. Pervasive patriarchy, shifting sibling relationships, sex-positivity and sex-exhaustion, communal healing, brujería, and cats all have meaningful places in this universe.
Trib(i)ca Pick: “I Think She Likes You” Puts the Threesome in Therapy

Detangling Being Canadian, Religious, South Asian and Bisexual
by Hasina Juma As humans we are multidimensional beings that have multiple identities. For example, I identify as a Canadian, millennial, daughter, and has family roots in African/South Asian roots.

The Dominoes Leading to BHAM
By Ellyn Ruthstrom The domino effect metaphor is often used in a negative way, such as “if Vietnam falls to the Communists, then all the surrounding countries will become Communist.” (Didn’t happen, btw.) However, when I think of those intricate domino patterns that enthusiasts set up and then set into motion, I think the domino effect […]
Don’t Just Get By – Get Bi-Affirmative Therapy
By Los Angeles Bi Task Force As a bi, pan, or fluid person, you deserve a mental healthcare provider who really “gets it,” and knows that your orientation is a thing – and so are all the unique challenges that go with it.

Reflection: Every Bisexual an Educator
By David Meadow, Marketing Chair, L.A. Bi Task Force For Bi Health Month, we’re taking stock of where we’ve been and where we’re going as a community. When you take stock, do you ever note how you’re treated as a bi+ person and think, “Oh, yeah, this must be what it was like to be […]
