What Is the Right Way to Come Out as Bisexual at... →
Q. Dear Civil Behavior: I’m bisexual (female), and I want to be out at work. I just don’t quite know how to slip it into conversation … But, bisexual visibility can only get better if people like me don’t cop out and say we are gay when that’s not true. Any advice on how to make “out bisexual” a little easier? ~ Erica, East Brunswick, NJ
A. Over the years I’ve frequently heard from my bi...

I can speak to a few of the reasons that will resonate with folks who have been raised in a religiously conservative,...

bisexual-community:
As they explained —
“Last year, our teenage daughter came out to her mother and I as being bisexual. We have always fostered an open atmosphere as parents so the ease with which she told us did not come as a surprise. Looking back now, I can safely say I was more surprised in her absolute certainty and the matter-of-factness with which she told us. This was not a choice....

I can’t stress this enough. I lost a number of followers the other day for posting an angry and snarky response to someone on the polysexuality tags who was acting very holier-than-thou about knowing the “right” definitions of pan bi and poly. He said bi was “attraction to cis men and women only” which is really wrong.
Anyways.
I got angry, and I was mean, and a lot of people...

I’m doing a research study on Tumblr tags (I know, very niche study).
If you could help out and take this survey I would be eternally grateful.
Takes less than 10 minutes and I then I’ll have actual data to write a paper with.
