Bi Book Club-CANCELLED

CANCELLED

Due to dwindling RSVPs: this meeting is cancelled. We will postpone discussion of this book until our next meeting on Thurs Jan 14.

Starting in 2016, we will be meeting on 2nd Thursdays throughout the year.

We are meeting on a special alternative date in Dec: Sun Dec 20 (and skipping our Nov mtg. due to the holidays.)

The Bi Book Club meets once a month to discuss bi-themed books and the issues they raise. Dinner after nearby-we usually go to Village Den on Greenwich Ave behind the Center.

The book for our Sun Dec 20 meeting is the award-winning speculative fiction novel amplifying gender fluidity: Static by L.A. Witt-now on sale at BGSQD!

After two years together, Alex has been dreading the inevitable moment when Damon learns the truth: that Alex is a shifter, part of a small percentage of the population able to switch genders at will. Thanks to a forced implant, though, Alex is suddenly static—unable to shift—and male. Overnight, he’s out to a world that neither understands nor tolerates shifters . . . and to his heterosexual boyfriend.

Damon is stunned to discover his girlfriend is a shifter, and scared to death of the dangers the implant poses to Alex’s health. He refuses to abandon Alex, but what about their relationship? Damon is straight, and with the implant both costly and dangerous to remove, Alex is stuck as a man.

Stripped of half his identity and facing serious physical and social ramifications, Alex needs Damon more than ever, but he doesn’t see how they can get through this.

Especially if he’s static forever.

Next book: The Lunatic, the Lover, and the Poet by Myrlin A. Hermes-Jan14 (2nd Thurs)
