Longtime New York bisexual activist Brenda Howard died of cancer earlier this month. Activist Lani Ka'ahumanu notes she "was at the Stonewall Rebellion in 1969, and was a very vocal and visible bisexual presence in NY gay community for over 25 years. I first worked with her during the mobilization of the 1987 March on Washington for LG Rights. In those days we organized by phone and answering machines. She knew how to work the phone!! Brenda was part of the core group of bi delegates (and some gay activists} who actively lobbied and educated gay and lesbian delegates from around the country who successfully got bisexual into the title of the 1993 March on Washington for Lesbian, Gay and Bi Equal Rights and Liberation. She ... always stood up and spoke out for bisexual people and challenged biphobia even in the most hostile environments." A memorial was held July 31 at the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center. Memorial website with guestbook is at http://www.nyabn.org/brenda/.
