Dubbing it a “new politics of sexuality,” June Jordan wrote about the political and revolutionary power of bisexuality, which she says “invalidates either/or formulation, either/or analysis.” “Bisexuality means I am free and I am as likely to want to love a woman as I am likely to want and to love a man, and what about that? Isn’t that what freedom implies?” Jordan says. “If you are free, you are not predictable and you are not controllable. To my mind, that is the keenly positive, politicizing significance of bisexual affirmation.” Jordan concludes that “to insist on complexity...to insist upon the equal validity of all of the components of social/sexual complexity,” is a “unifying...mandate for revolutionary...planning...on the basis of the heart, on the basis of an honest human body, consecrated to every struggle for justice, every struggle for equality, every struggle for freedom.”
