Good morning! Today kicks off Bisexual Awareness Week, and there are tons of events happening nationwide, including the Bi+ Community Health and Wellness Festival in D.C. tomorrow and the LA Bi Arts Fest on Wednesday. We’ll also be participating with some special bi-focused coverage throughout the week.

A woman who adopted her children with her ex in Georgia has not been granted the same rights in Alabama because it’s “not allowed.” From AP: “The woman in 2007 adopted the three children that her female partner gave birth to during their 16-year relationship. However, Alabama’s high court overturned an Alabama family court decision that recognized the Georgia adoption and granted the woman, who now lives in Alabama, visitation rights.” So, again, we still have a lot of work to do.

The creators of Dhee, Bangladesh’s new lesbian comic series, answers some questions, like why a lesbian and not a gay male character?
“It’s very simple. The BOB movement in Bangladesh so far has been dominated by gay men, given the patriarchal nature of our society. Lesbians are doubly marginalised here. So it is important that the lesbian community is acknowledged. Moreover, female sexuality is, in our society, more stigmatised and a bigger taboo. Dhee does not talk only about sexual orientation but also gender discrimination, menstruation, female masturbation, love, sex, relationships and a plethora of other social issues. Our main aim was to convey the message of intersectionality of all these issues.”
