Convert and Compress Video Files

Sometimes doing bi group stuff throws up new challenges that you have to figure out. A recent one for me was how to shrink a video file so it was small enough to email or share online. I’d filmed a friend give a speech on the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia and didn’t … Continue reading Convert and Compress Video Files →

Raising the Flag at Notts County Hall

Yesterday morning I attended the first event held this week in Nottinghamshire for IDAHoBiT 2015. Representatives from the council, police, emergency services, unions, colleges, universities, and local LGBT groups and organisations made their way to Notts County Hall to watch the rainbow flag being raised by the river. It was wonderful to see so many in attendance and … Continue reading Raising the Flag at Notts County Hall →

Something Simple I Learnt From Stonewall’s Bi Consulations

Since I attended the Bi Consultations held by Stonewall in February 2015 I’ve wanted to do a write up of my thoughts and feelings on how the event went. I deliberately waited a few weeks for the adrenaline, excitement, and euphoria to wear off so I could write something more balanced. However by that point … Continue reading Something Simple I Learnt From Stonewall’s Bi Consulations →

Preparing for Pride Season

These days I try to get ready for summer a few months in advance. This is partly because some things like ordering flags, leaflets and stickers can take a while to sort out and get delivered. It’s also because you’ll be a lot busier nearer the time than you are now. The weeks fly by and big events … Continue reading Preparing for Pride Season →

Bi Inclusive Name Changes

Recently I’ve noticed a few charities and organisations have changed their names to include the B and/or T in LGBT. This has been a really positive thing for me as it feels like after years and years of being and feeling excluded by LG named institutions things are finally (slowly!) changing for the better. The … Continue reading Bi Inclusive Name Changes →

Bisexuality in The Sims 2

The Sims franchise is a series of four games where you get to build and create your own neighbourhoods, houses and characters (which are known as sims). The artificial intelligence turns the game experience into a wonderful, interactive, large scale doll house. Instead of four separate games, think of it as one gameplay experience that gets updated every … Continue reading Bisexuality in The Sims 2 →

My Bi Life

Rainbow Sheep

With a family as large and as complicated as mine, I’ve always known that statistically I cannot be the only one who isn’t heterosexual. However growing up in a rural area in a Christian, farming family is a very effective way to make you feel like you are. Nothing LGBT was ever mentioned. Nothing queer … Continue reading Rainbow Sheep →

Nottinghamshire Pride 2014

Originally published August 2014 over on https://nottinghambi.wordpress.com What a wonderful day! It felt like everyone had come out to join us. I arrived at the parade start point at about 10:30am and was joined by more and more BiTopia members until it was time to start marching. Whilst we were waiting we took photos, played … Continue reading Nottinghamshire Pride 2014 →

Bereavements & Coming Out

The burden and anxiety of the decision of whether to come out to someone or not is taken away from you when they die. My mum killed herself when I was 16 before I told her I was bisexual. One thing I’ve noticed is that all the resources about coming out never touch upon bereavement … Continue reading Bereavements & Coming Out →
