Rainbow SIG Bibliography
The monitoring is a list of books that have been recommended by members of the Rainbow SIG. We have sought to identify sources of information on cultural, lifestyle and legal information. We chose not to include some of the standard commute guides. It is also available as an annotated Word document. We welcome your comments and inspire you to notify us of additional resources that might be added to the site.

They may use other terms to describe themselves over time. An umbrella term used specifically to describe a lack of, varying, or occasional experiences of sexual attraction. This encompasses asexual people as well as those who identify as demisexual and grey-sexual.

The United States celebrated her bicentennial; Happy Days topped the TV viewership charts; and American Mensa established the first Special Interest Group, or SIG, for LGBTQ+ Mensans. Founded originally as GaySIG, the group later became Gay & Homosexual woman SIG; and as of July 2022, we are named QueerSIG. This latest name change marks a critical inflection point toward greater inclusion of American Mensa’s LGBTQ+ members and represents the most significant update to the SIG’s identity in more than 30 years. At the SIG’s inception, the founders intended simply to build community among Queer members of American Mensa. Against the backdrop of anti-LGBTQ+ legislative efforts across mid-1970s America, the mere founding of GaySIG was itself something of an act of revolution. American Mensa rejected GaySIG’s initial constitution and later approved the group’s formation accompanying a revised approach. Inclusion of LGBTQ+ people in popular media was flippant at best, and reliable gathering spaces were limited and far between. To envision GaySIG during these formative years is to Can anyone have too many friends? We don’t think so.

(When Mensans are wrong, they can be really wrong!) What sets Mensans apart is that they tend to discern patterns and facts more rapidly than average. What unites Mensans with the recover of humanity is the need for love and acceptance, both giving and receiving. Mensans possess Mensan and non-Mensan family members and friends alike.
