Statement on National Bi+ Erasure

The current U.S. administration has been loudly and aggressively attacking the trans community in ways that have taken center stage in all of our news feeds. We have been standing in solidarity with our trans, nonbinary, gender-nonconforming, and intersex siblings as politicians the world over try to erase this vibrant community from our collective history and culture. This heightened climate of transphobia endangers lives, undermines civil rights, and is an affront to humanity.

And make no mistake: those who would attack the trans community have always intended to come for every single letter of the acronym.

Alongside the explicit attacks on things like gender-affirming care and the right to transition, we’re now experiencing a quiet and methodical erasure of bisexual history by the Trump administration as well.

Journalist Erin Reed has brought attention to the fact that, without much fanfare, the National Park Service has removed all references to bisexuals from its Stonewall National Monument webpages. Originally reading “lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or queer (LGBTQ+),” the website was first altered to remove all uses of “transgender” and strike the ‘TQ+’ from “LGBTQ+”.

It now reads: “Stonewall was a milestone for gay and lesbian civil rights that provided momentum for a movement.” All references to “bisexual” have been excluded.

As an organization dedicated to helping build up a thriving bi+ community, we have a lot to say about bisexual erasure. We are no strangers to attempts to exclude us from the broader queer community, and we are not going anywhere quietly. Bi+ people have always been here, and we will always be here. Those who took the digital whiteout to the national Stonewall website should be ashamed of what they’ve done, but they should also know that there’s no victory for them on the other side of such actions. We’re not going anywhere, and we will make sure that future generations know where we have been.

To every bisexual, pansexual, polysexual, and queer person out there: you are far too valuable to ever be erased or forgotten. Bi+ history is LGBTQ+ history. We will never stop telling our stories and recognizing each other. No administration or government will keep us from fighting for our collective future and appreciating the unique place we occupy in our societal rainbow.

And to all our lesbian, gay, trans, ace, and other queer families: we are here for you and we hope you will be here for us in turn. We need each other. We have nothing to lose and everything to gain from standing hand-in-hand with our fellow LGBTQ+ community members, facing every threat in solidarity. Our stories have always been intertwined, and so are our hopes for a better, safer, and more rightfully inclusive future.

In solidarity,

Bisexual fatherhood is not rare, not anomalous, and not confused. It is statistically common, emotionally complex, and politically urgent. The current systems academic, medical, legal, and cultural are not neutral in their exclusion of bisexual fathers. They actively erase.

This erasure ends when we center bisexual fathers not as anomalies, but as experts in love, resilience, and justice. Their experiences offer a radical blueprint for inclusive parenting in the 21st century. And it’s time we stop forcing them to parent in silence.

We have the evidence. We have the moral imperative. What we need now is the political will and the activist urgency to act.

Hello! I'm creating a queer resource page, and I was wondering if I could send people your way for advice, support, etc. Would that be alright?

Sure I can try my best I can't promise how helpful it will be but I can try my best

Did you know? (Art by CheekyFaceStyles)

Did you know that queer people, including us bisexuals, have always existed and will always exist year round, regardless of visibility, acceptance, or legal recognition? Existing as bisexual isn’t a phase, a fraction, or a footnote in history it’s a continuous, undeniable part of humanity, woven into every culture, generation, and community. Despite myths, phobia, and erasure, we are everywhere in every industry, every movement, and every corner of society. Our existence shouldn’t be erased from history. We shouldn’t be left out of conversations or fade away when it’s inconvenient, nor does our identity disappear when representation slips from view. We are not some kind of 'in between'; we are whole, valid, and valued. The question isn’t whether we belong, because we do. The real question is how we ensure that our presence is impossible to ignore, our contributions are fully recognized, and our community is strengthened by the truth that we have always been here and always will be.

[hellomynameisbisexual]

We live in a world that can’t seem to handle the truth of our existence. The discomfort with bisexuality isn’t some innocent ignorance it’s rooted in insecurity and fear. The queer community hates that we don’t fit neatly into their rigid boxes. They can’t stand that we exist in this messy, complex middle ground, somewhere between their struggles and their straight-faced ideals. And the straight world? They can’t grasp that we don’t conform to their outdated, binary view of sexuality. So, what do we get? Pushed to the side. Erased. Constantly having to fight for a seat at a table that should’ve always had one for us.

We’re tired. Tired of being tokenized, tired of being ignored, depending on what’s convenient for others. They make us feel like we’re either too much or not enough, and it’s exhausting. Bisexuality makes people uncomfortable because it shatters their neat little narratives. It forces them to confront the gray areas they don’t want to deal with. But here's the harsh reality: that’s not our problem. Our existence is real, even if it doesn’t fit into anyone’s pre made mold. If that makes you squirm, then it’s time to wake up and face the truth.

We’re done letting anyone erase us. We’re done pretending like we don’t deserve to exist just because some people are too insecure to accept our truth. We’ve been silenced for too long. Our existence is valid, even if it scares the hell out of everyone else. It’s time to stop asking for permission and start demanding respect. We’re not going anywhere, and we won’t let anyone pretend we don’t matter. We’ve fought for too long to be visible, and now we’re taking our place in the world, whether anyone likes it or not.

Authentic bisexual stories are long overdue. For too long, the experiences of bisexual individuals have been erased, misunderstood, or reduced to harmful stereotypes. It’s time to change that. Bisexuality isn’t a phase, a stepping stone, or something defined solely by the gender of a partner it’s a valid, vibrant identity with challenges, joys, and triumphs. The world needs stories that reflect this truth, stories that capture the full spectrum of bisexual experiences: love, struggle, identity, and community.

These stories matter deeply. They break down barriers, challenge stigma, and foster understanding. For someone questioning their identity, seeing an authentic reflection of themselves can be life changing. For allies and advocates, these narratives can be powerful tools to build empathy and support. Every story told with care and honesty brings us closer to a world where bisexual voices are heard and valued.

This is a call to action. Writers, creators, and advocates: the time to tell these stories is now. Each story is a step toward visibility and acceptance, a way to celebrate bisexual lives in all their complexity and beauty. The world is ready for these narratives are you ready to share them? Let’s commit to living our truth, one story at a time, and ensure that bisexual experiences are seen, understood, and celebrated. Together, we can create a future where everyone feels recognized and valued.

Honoring your bisexuality is a powerful act of self acceptance and liberation. In a world that often pressures us to conform to rigid binaries, embracing your identity is a revolutionary declaration of authenticity. Bisexuality is not a phase, compromise, or confusion it is a dynamic, multifaceted truth that defies simplistic labels. By claiming this truth, you affirm your place in a vibrant community that celebrates diversity, resilience, and the boundless beauty of human connection. You remind the world that love cannot be confined it is vast, fluid, and deeply human.

When you honor your bisexuality, you also honor the legacy of countless others who have walked this path before you. Bisexual people activists, artists, and everyday individuals have shaped history, often in the face of misunderstanding and erasure. By living your truth, you amplify their voices and pave the way for those who will follow. In embracing your identity, you join a powerful collective that challenges stereotypes, dismantles stigma, and fosters understanding. Together, this unity becomes a force for change, reminding society that strength lies in diversity and that visibility is a catalyst for progress.

Bisexuality bridges worlds and builds empathy, creating connections that transcend rigid societal norms. By living authentically, you inspire others to embrace their complexities and celebrate their truths. This act of unity enriches not just the bisexual community but the broader movement for inclusivity and love. Honoring your bisexuality is more than a personal triumph it is a bold, loving stand for a future where diversity is celebrated, barriers are broken, and humanity’s full spectrum of love and identity is embraced.

Common misconceptions about bisexuality, particularly those surrounding bisexual men, significantly contribute to the disbelief in their existence. These misconceptions often stem from stereotypes, societal stigma, and a general lack of understanding of bisexuality as a valid sexual orientation. Addressing these misconceptions is essential to promote acceptance and visibility for bisexual men. By addressing these misconceptions and advocating for better representation and understanding of bisexuality, society can foster a more inclusive environment that acknowledges the existence and validity of bisexual men.

Bisexuality, as a sexual orientation, encompasses attraction to more than one gender. Despite growing acceptance, bisexual individuals often confront unique challenges that differ from both heterosexual and homosexual experiences.

Bisexual erasure is a pervasive issue that manifests in various ways across different areas of society. These examples highlight how bisexual erasure occurs across different areas of society, contributing to the invisibility and marginalization of bisexual individuals.

Embracing your bisexuality and practicing self-love is a powerful act of affirmation. As a bisexual individual, you deserve to feel confident, comfortable, and celebrated in your identity.

Self-love in bisexuality is about honoring all facets of who you are. It's about recognizing your worth, regardless of who you're attracted to. Bisexual self-care means making space for your emotional, mental, and physical needs - needs that are valid and important.

Whether it's exploring LGBTQ+ affirming spaces, setting boundaries, or simply doing activities that bring you joy, prioritizing yourself as a bisexual person is an act of radical self-acceptance. You get to define what bisexual self-love looks like for you.

Surround yourself with bisexual-positive messages and communities that uplift your identity. Remind yourself that your bisexuality is whole, real, and deserving of celebration. When you invest in your bisexual self-care, you empower yourself to live authentically and unapologetically.

Understanding bisexuality is knowing bisexuality is not a phase or a stepping stone. It's a valid sexual orientation, representing attraction to more than one gender. However, bisexual individuals often face discrimination, not just from the straight community, but sadly, more often from within the LGBTQ+ community as well. This is called biphobia and it leads to bierasure. The invisible battle of Biphobia is the fear or hatred of bisexual people, often manifesting as harmful stereotypes, prejudice, and discrimination. Bierasure, on the other hand, is the tendency to ignore, remove, falsify, or reexplain evidence of bisexuality in history, academia, news media, and other primary sources. How can people help to end biphobia and bierasure as allies, we can help fight to end these harmful behaviors. Here's how:

1. Educate Yourself and Others: Learn about bisexuality, the challenges faced by bisexuals, and the harmful effects of biphobia and bierasure. Share your knowledge with others, especially those who may hold misconceptions about bisexuality.

2. Speak Up: Don't stay silent when you witness biphobia or bierasure. Challenge harmful stereotypes and stand up for bisexual individuals in both the straight and LGBTQ+ communities.

3. Support Bisexual Individuals: Be there for your bisexual friends and family members. Let them know that you see them, you support them, and you're fighting for them.

4. Promote Bisexual Visibility: Share and celebrate stories, art, and media by and about bisexual individuals. This can help combat bierasure by showing that bisexual people exist and their experiences are valid.

So join the bisexual community in this fight we need to act urgently to end biphobia and bierasure amongst other things as well. It's time to stand up, speak out, and show your support for the bisexual community. Share this post, start a conversation, and let's make a difference together for a better place for bisexuals.

Bisexual individuals often face unique challenges and a lack of understanding within the broader LGBTQ+ community. That's why joining a bi+ support group can be a vital and necessary step in finding the acceptance and community you deserve.

These groups provide a safe space for bisexual, pansexual, fluid, and otherwise bi+ identified individuals to connect, share experiences, and access resources tailored to their specific needs. Far too often, the bisexual community is overlooked or misunderstood, leaving many feeling isolated and unsupported.

By participating in a bi+ support group, you'll have the opportunity to build meaningful relationships with others who truly understand the complexities of your identity. These groups offer an invaluable source of peer support, education, and advocacy - empowering bi+ individuals to proudly embrace who they are.

Whether you're navigating the coming out process, seeking advice on relationships, or simply need a judgment-free space to be yourself, a bi+ support group can make all the difference. Take the courageous step of joining today, and be part of the movement to ensure the bisexual community receives the recognition and allyship it deserves within the larger LGBTQ+ landscape.
