Sheela Lambert
Sheela Lambert (1956–2024), a native and lifelong resident of New York City, was an American bisexual activist and writer.
She was the Founder/Director of the Bisexual Book Awards, founder of the Bi Writers Association, was co-founder of Bi Women of All Colors and has been active in a number of bisexual rights groups including BiNet USA. She was openly bisexual and wrote about bisexuality and LGBTQ popular culture/entertainment issues in her national bisexual column for Examiner.com for seven years (2009–2016) as well as articles for The Huffington Post, The Advocate, AfterEllen and AfterElton, Bi Magazine, Lambda Literary Foundation and the America Today LGBTQ Encyclopedia and editing for efforts including Biwriters.org. She presented information on bisexuality issues at universities, conferences, high schools and in-service trainings.
Lambert worked as an HIV Counselor by New York City and New York State.
She has also appeared on a variety of television shows on the topic of bisexuality including Real Personal With Bob Berkowitz (CNBC), The Rolonda Show (syndicated), and The Richard Bey Show (WWOR-TV). Additionally Lambert has been quoted in other media — including The Washington Blade, The New York Blade and Time Out New York — on issues related to bisexuality.[citation needed]
Lambert helped produce "Gay Men, Lesbians, Bisexuals, Sharing Our Lives: A Forum on Bisexuality", a forum held in May 1992. The forum was co-sponsored by the Lesbian and Gay Community Services Center (now the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Community Services Center), New York Area Bisexual Network and BiPAC.[citation needed]
During the 1992–93 television season, Lambert was the on-air correspondent and producer of Out in the 90s, a live New York City Public, educational, and government access (PEG) cable TV channels news and information show for the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community. In 1993, Lambert was the executive producer/host for Bisexual Network, the first television series by and for the bisexual community. The series aired on New York City's public-access television.
In 1996, Lambert joined Heritage of Pride, in which she was an active LGBTQ pride organizer for two years to promote the bi-inclusive agenda as a member. In 2002 Heritage of Pride renamed New York City's Lesbian and Gay Pride events to the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Pride March, Rally, Festival and Dance.
Together with transgender activist Pauline Park, Lambert formed the Coalition for Unity and Inclusion in 2000. The Coalition was the lead group that successfully lobbied various New York City LGBTQ-related institutions to make their names more inclusive, including New York City's Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Community Center (formerly the NYC Lesbian and Gay Community Services Center) and the New York Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, & Transgender Film Festival (formerly the New York Lesbian and Gay Film Festival).
