Some informative bi humor for the awesome FYBG followers.

Whether you believe bisexuality was inclusive of nonbinary people in the 1960s, or whatever the latest debate is, the fact is that the bi community has spent the majority of the last decade trying to make it clear that bisexual means or should mean much more than just “attraction to men and women”, and there has been very, very little push back from within the bi community. The general consensus is that the word “bisexual” should be infinitely broad and inclusive, no matter what the etymological root is. Bisexuals do not want “bisexual” to be limited.

The only people desperately trying to reinforce the idea that “bisexual means 2 genders” are people who do not identify as bisexual.

Stats on asexuality in the bi+ community!

Bisexual men most definitely exist.

A clear and cogent explanation of the controversies surrounding the 2005 Bailey study about whether bisexual men truly exist. Spoiler alert: It’s 2020 and we know that they did, and they do. Great quotes from my amazing friend Lauren Beach, and from Corey Flanders, who I don’t know yet but would like to. https://www.firstpost.com/tech/science/bisexuality-in-men-revisited-in-new-study-draws-criticism-for-interpreting-sexual-orientation-from-genital-arousal-8723841.html

Black Lives Matter

The Bisexual Resource Center stands in solidarity with Black people, with the protestors calling for an end to police violence, and with all those fighting for justice for bi+ BIPOC everywhere. Our support especially goes out to those in Minnesota and to the Bisexual Organizing Project, whose community is at the epicenter of this tragedy and the resistance. We re-affirm that Black Lives Matter.

On Being in the Closet

On Being in the Closet

“It wasn’t until I finally began coming out to others that I realized how much I had been suffocating in my own silence.” 

Robyn Ochs, LGBTQ Policy Journal

[biresourcecenter]

Ochs said she added the word “queer” to her identity alongside bisexual in the 1990s, and recently added “pansexual,” too. “I see those three different words almost as describing: Is something blue, or is it turquoise or is it azure? I think that they are all overlapping terms; they can co-exist comfortably.”

“Bisexual people have a much harder time finding community and safe space,” Ochs explained, “…even when there’s an established LGBTQ community, it’s often not fully inclusive of bisexual-identified people.”
