bisexual-community: bisexuallibrarian: This basically shows that bisexual people report seeing only very slightly less biphobia in supposedly “LGBT” media than in “mainstream” media.  Think this is interesting and useful information? It comes (free of charge! to Bisexual NGO’s/Charities and Academics) from the good people who do the annual International LGBT (marketing) Survey. So bisexual people, Remember to Add You Voice to the 2013 survey.

bisexual-books:

The Bi Weekly Show takes on a Kickstarter documentary that has a VERY narrow view of what Bisexuality is, imploring Bi folk everywhere to either support Bi created projects or endure a parade of crap that claims to be about our community. Kyle also endorses a book by Bi Activist and writer Shiri Eisner called “Bi: Notes for a Bisexual Revolution”. And oh yeah, another plea to the producers of Survivor to put Mr. Schickner on the show, making him the first out bisexual player ever on the show.

I absolutely agree with what Kyle says here.   We need to support Bi authors and filmmakers and speak up for ourselves.  That really is for me the big picture issue the more I think about this “The Outsiders of The Outside” issue.  It’s not just that what the filmmaker said was stupid, but that it underscores how much people who don’t have a full command of these issues end up speaking for us.  

On that vein, I highly recommend “The Bisexual’s Guide to the Universe” by Nicole Kristal and Mike Szymanski and I am also very excited for “Bi: Notes for a Bisexual Revolution”.

What Is the Right Way to Come Out as Bisexual at Work?

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 friends that it’s harder for them to come out than it is for those of us who are gay or lesbian because of the enduring myths about being bisexual. Stereotypes persist, and many people think that identifying as bi means

  1. you’re going through a phase
  2. you’re promiscuous or
  3. you’re really gay but not telling the truth.

If more bi folks come out of course visibility increases. But is work the right place to do this? … BUT without making a “declaration,” don’t our straight colleagues routinely discuss how they spent the weekend with their opposite-sex partner, which is a nonchalant way of proclaiming their sexual identity …

Context is key here … Two bisexual activists, A.J. Walkley and Lauren Michelle Kinsey who write the column Bi the Bi: Two Bi Writers on Big Bi Issues also recommended casual “water cooler”ways of bringing up your sexual identity through current events.

“I was thrilled to hear that Clive Davis came out as bisexual, being bisexual myself,” or “Did you hear that same-sex couples will soon be able to marry in Delaware? It means a lot to me since I’m bisexual.”

Context isn’t the only thing that matters here – consider your company and its commitment to diversity and inclusion as well. Many corporations now have LGBT employee groups; think about getting involved as an out bi person and use that public role to reduce the invisibility of bisexuals in the workplace.
