Bisexuality has long been the subject of suspicion and dismissal by some lesbians, gays, and straights. But are perceptions of bisexuality changing, in part due to pop cultural influences? Are younger people in American today embracing the idea, if not the exact label, of bisexuality?

One spring weekend, 30 women and transmen of color, gay and straight, gathered at a brownstone in Brooklyn to film a music video celebrating black women’s lives – and as that music video was being made, another camera recorded footage of the cast and crew. But this is no simple behind the scenes video – instead, U People captures candid and thought-provoking discussions of race, gender, and sexuality spurred on by the music video’s themes and by the intelligent, talented, and beautiful people who joined together to create it – people who are too often marginalized in front of and behind the camera. The result is an empowering and illuminating reminder of the power of community.  More...
