		<description><![CDATA[This weekend&#8217;s National Union of Students LGBT conference includes one bi motion on its agenda, on recent reporting in Diva magazine about bisexuals dating lesbians. The motion reads: Motion 504 I’m not bi-curious, I’m bi-furious! Conference Notes: 1. Diva magazine is the only monthly glossy newsstand magazine for lesbians and bi women in the UK. Its facebook page expressly says one of its aims is “to encourage lesbians and bi women to feel happy and positive about their sexuality”. 2. Diva magazine invited comment on its facebook wall asking the following question: “I am writing an article for DIVA magazine about why some lesbians avoid dating bi women and the reasons for their decision. I am interested in hearing from lesbians and bi women who are willing to share their dating experiences and opinions with me. You are welcome to use a pseudonym if you like. This is not a generalised article about biphobia, but looks at the specific choice some women make to exclude bisexuals from their “dating pool”. My aim is to explore an issue that continues to provoke strong feelings within our community in an objective way, and to understand why this is so.” 3. This topic [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The National Union of Students&#8217; annual LGBT conference in May will discuss bisexuality &#8211; and specifically, the way bisexuality is exploited in sexist advertising.  The motion tabled for discussion reads: 405 Bisexuality – Sexism in Raunch Culture Conference Believes: 1. That many members of our campaign define as bisexual or as being attracted to people of more than one gender. 2. That there are some very apparent negative stereotypes of bisexual people especially women. 3. That there is a pressure on ‘the scene’ to conform to these stereotypes. Meaning our own community is reinforcing these stereotypes. Conference Further Believes: 1. That most popular images of bisexual women are related to raunch culture or the porn industry, mainly for profit. 2. The media reinforce the stereotypes of bisexual people. 3. That there is a huge taboo in society for men to be bisexual. Conference Resolves: 1. For the NUS LGBT campaign to promote positive role models of bi people. 2. For the campaign to engage with the bi community on these issues. 3. To campaign against the commercialisation of our sexuality for profit and exploitation. Conference is open to limited numbers of attendees from affiliated Universities and Colleges across the UK.]]></description>
