CNN Today had a 2 minute segment on bisexuality tonight, in response to the Anne Heche interview on Larry King Live tonight (she was also on ABC 20/20 last night). The segment featured our own Tom Limoncelli, his lover Amara, Donna Redd and her lover of NY. It was fantastic!Barry SaiffTHE SEGMENT WILL BE REBROADCAST TONIGHT, we think around 10:10 pm Pacific time. Larry King Live is rebroadcast at 9 pm Pacific, then CNN Today at 10 pm. Other time zones will probably be at their equivalent times.
This segment has developed over the past two days. Cathy Renna of GLAAD first called me Wednesday morning, and myself, Lani, Loraine, and Tom talked to Cathy and assisted her in supporting the CNN producer to do an effective segment. This was seen and will be seen by millions of people, and is a big win for BiNet USA and bisexuals everywhere. The statements made on air by Tom and the others and also the CNN reporter were to my mind perfect and should be very effective in educating people, breaking through myths and stereotypes, and making the world safer for everyone.
Congratulations to Tom and everyone else involved, and to all of us for creating the movement that made this possible!
