Provided by Wikipedia
Lani Kaahumanu (born October 5, 1943) is a Native Hawaiian bisexual and feminist writer and activist. She is openly bisexual and writes and speaks on sexuality issues frequently. She serves on the editorial board of the ''Journal of Bisexuality''. She is also working on the books ''My Grassroots Are Showing: Stories, Speeches, and Special Affections'' and ''Passing For Other: Primal Creams and Forbidden Dreams – Poetry, Prose, and Performance Pieces''. In 1974, she divorced her husband and moved to San Francisco, where she originally came out as a lesbian. She was a student leader in the nascent San Francisco State Women Studies Department, and in 1979, she became the first person in her family to graduate from college. Kaahumanu realized she was bisexual and came out again in 1980.
