Bisexual and Bi-Friendly Groups in Wales/(Cymru) UK
- Bi Cymru/Wales: This group is connected to the Bi Wales network, and is intended as a social place for Welsh Bisexuals and their supporters to come together, and discuss issues that effect their lives. Bi Cymru/Wales is the all-Wales social support network for bisexual people and those who think they may be bi. Membership of this group is open to anyone who supports Bi Cymru/Wales and in no way implies a person’s sexuality.
- Rustic Rainbow: A very bisexual & transgender welcoming casual and fun group for ALL LGB&T people who love the natural beauty of North Wales. We are based in the Denbighshire/Flintshire area and just want to provide a relaxing environment so LGBT people can make friends and enjoy activities together such as walking, the cinema and days out!
- Bi Swansea: A group for anyone attracted to more than one gender or who thinks they may be and who lives in Swansea or the surrounding areas. This group is for those who are Bi or think they may be Bi, Bi supportive people and their friends and families. Membership of this group is open to anyone bi supportive, regardless of their sexuality. This is a space to discuss issues affecting us and to socialise in safe, bi-friendly surroundings.

[USA]: I am Proud 2 be BISEXUAL and I am WORKING 4 Marriage Equality
Even if marriage is not 4 ME it might be exactly what YOU always wanted. So I’m here to support you being able to have your heart’s desire. Even if it is different from mine.
“We are conducting a study on the life experiences and well-being of women and men who identify as being emotionally and/or physically attracted (not necessarily to the same degree or the same time) to the same and other genders. For the purposes of brevity, the term bisexual is used throughout the survey, however we understand that not all who participate in the study necessarily use that term to identify themselves. With this study, we hope to contribute to the understanding of the experiences and needs of bisexual individuals. Participation in our study will involve completing a survey that will take approximately 20-25 minutes.”
In order to participate you must:
• Be at least 18 years old
• Identify as being emotionally and/or physically attracted (not necessarily to the same degree or the same time) to the same and other genders or bisexual
• Reside in the U.S.”
Please keep the porn out of the bisexuality tag. Tag it with bisexual porn or something but not bisexuality. The bisexuality tag is generally used for discussions about the bisexual movement, coming out, and a support group for bisexuals needing to find a small space to call their own online and learn from each other. Thanks.
We are a pretty much G-Rated & Family Friendly Tumblr. We are using the tags Bisexuality AND Bisexuals as the most “Porn Free” but do also try to slip stuff into Bisexual, Bi Sexual and Bi just to try to reach out to everyone. Also suggest everyone just block and report obvious Porn!Bots.

As a male bisexual I have dated very fluidly in my twenties then was in a few long term opposite sex relationships. But then I chose to not date at all and sort out my codependency issues.
During the period of not dating I got so much weird harassment from gays and lesbians that I am now committed to doing what I can do get bisexuals accepted.
In grad school a lesbian came into my place of employment and demanded I “come out as gay” and then for two years I heard say “which is it” repeatedly, a gay student did similar taunting, a gay teacher asking my orientation replied “Oh your one of those”.
Another gay teacher wanted me to come out as gay. And the head of the depart (Lesbian) responded to my bi identity by saying “we really don’t need labels” but she has one, and the gay and straight students had one.
And then a year later a gay director told me it was impossible for me to be bisexual in his words “I was straight and fucking around” or “gay and in the closet”. I can go on and on and on.
Since then my dating has been a bit weird to as I realized via online dating that straight women want touch me, most gay men have hang ups, and that has left only a few dates (obviously Woody Allen was wrong).
I dated a Straight women for a year who was paranoid if I stood next to a man we broke up – she did make an effort to understand. Then a gay man very sweet and supportive but also thought I had “heteroprivilege” yes I do come across as very straight so he is right but the moment I say who I am that privileged disappears quickly (we are still friends).
Finally I dated and am still dating a woman who has been as fluid in her dating as I have been. Yeah!!! But what the hell is up? Why do I get worse treatment in the gay community than the straight community?
What’s up? And why do academic papers say male bisexuality is less fluid than female bisexuality. And why did I not exist up til a few days ago?
