BISEXUAL SADNESS is about just that. Faye used to be with Genevieve. Now she's getting married to Alex, and though she really truly loves him, she's starting to have questions about what it means for the rest of her life.  How will she be viewed by the queer communities that have always been her home.  BISEXUAL SADNESS is about that specific loneliness of being a bisexual woman in love with a man, staring down the barrel of a lifetime of feeling that way. BISEXUAL SADNESS explores love, commitment, the security blanket of identity, and the inconvenience of fluidity. Is it BS? Or is it...Bisexual Sadness?
