		<description><![CDATA[The Bisexuality Report is now available in a Spanish translation. The translation work was done by Manuel Sebastia, and you can download El Informe sobre Bisexualidad, along with the original version of the report here. Meg Barker from BiUK said, &#8220;We hope that the translation proves useful and might prompt further discussion about the different situations of bisexual people and communities across the globe. &#8220;We also welcome further translations of the report which we’ll happily make available through the BiUK website.&#8221;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The European Parliament cross-party group on LGBT issues have come together to make a video for this year&#8217;s International Day Against Biphobia, Homophobia &#38; Transphobia. They say: &#8220;In Europe, growing up lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender can be challenging: difference often leads to bullying, self-harm, and sometimes suicide attempts. Studies consistently point to higher physical and mental health risks for LGBT young people. &#8220;For IDAHO 2012, over 50 European politicians and leaders from all EU institutions join forces telling LGBT teenagers they are working to make things better, and put an end to homophobia and transphobia.&#8221; &#160; Find out more about the Intergroup here]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[May 17th is the International Day Against Biphobia, Homophobia and Transphobia (commonly &#8216;IDAHO&#8217;). It was on 17 May 1990 that homosexuality stopped being considered a mental illness by the World Health Organisation. Across the country many Town Halls, business premises and community centres will be flying rainbow flags to show their support for LGB&#38;T equality &#38; liberation. There  is a more powerful dimension too though: there are over 70 countries in the world today where it is a criminal offence to be bisexual or gay. Seven countries still have the death penalty for those deemed to have had sex with someone of the same gender. Respect for transgender people in law varies hugely from one country to another similarly. Read more about events and the history of IDAHO here. &#160; IDAHO&#8217;s mission against prejudice against LGB&#38;T people is variously described as referring to homophobia, to homophobia and transphobia, and to biphobia, homophobia and transphobia. We prefer to think of it using the more inclusive language.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Stonewall&#8217;s new publication &#8220;Being yourself: Sexual orientation in the workplace&#8221; profiles among its lesbian, gay and bi role models the City of London Councillor Edward Lord OBE. Edward talks about coming out as bisexual from previously being out as gay &#8211; counter to the stereotypical image of bisexuality as a &#8216;stopping off point&#8217; on the way from identifying as straight to gay &#8211; and about subtly queering the workplace. He says: &#8220;I still fear that there is a perception within our community that bisexuality doesn’t exist, that it’s just a phase on the way to becoming gay or that it’s somehow wrong. I’ve had very deep and meaningful relationships with both men and women. So I want to send a clear message that if you find yourself being attracted to people of both genders then it is okay to say you are bisexual.&#8221; That&#8217;s one out bisexual in a book of 20 role models: who are yours?]]></description>
