Out Front interview with RJS

Out Front interview with RJS

Jerry Wheeler from Out Front magazine interviewed me last month on bisexual invisibility and more for a piece in the current (Nov. 7) issue.

I met Jerry a few years ago at the fabulous bear-owned Auld Sweet Olive B&B during the Saints & Sinners LitFest in New Orleans, and once when I stumbled back to my room late and drunk, I tried unlocking his door with my key.  Apparently he liked that, so he asked me for an interview now that he’s working at the Colorado glbtiqa bimonthly.

The paper used a 2001 pic with just the moustache and a three-day scruff.

Jerry, if you read this, thanks, and I hope to stumble in on you again sometime before long.
