I was at “From Bi-Visibility to Bi-Inclusion: A Discussion”
Hosted by Gracey Morgan at Southwark council with lots of support from the local LGBT network.
The basics of what I said:
What we are aiming for: pretty much for bi people to have good lives regardless of whether they are or stay within bi community or just pass through or we’ve never met them.
I want everyone to have a happy and fulfilling life where it doesn’t matter who you fancy and who you have relationships with and how many at once and who you love and who you have sex with and however many genders of people that might involve and whether that changes over time.
The facts are bi people right now have way worse outcomes in health and happiness. I want that changed until it is fixed. I want everyone out there to have a great chance at a happy life and for the prejudices that get in the way to be gotten rid of.
That’s for the people who call themselves bi, for the people who find themselves attracted to people of more than one gender and for people who intimately connect with people of more than one gender.
Whether or not they call themselves bisexual, will do in the future, or will stop doing so in the future. Whether or not they are out or want to be. Whether or not they can or want to act on their desires. Whether or not they are part of a bi community or want to be.
For bisexuals and for everyone and everyone can and should help. Some people are bisexual. Don’t just get over it, make it great!
