Young Bisexual People & Self Injury Study

Website: SIBL research study http://man.ac.uk/9YjBjj The SIBL research study is looking to examine which psychological factors or processes are associated with non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) in young bisexual people.

This has understandably upset many bi+ people. BiNetUSA … Continue reading The Bisexual Flag belongs to us all! →

World AIDS day 2019

On #worldaidsday please remember the bisexuals and pansexuals of colour who are demonised as spreaders of sexually transmitted diseases, when the reality is that we face racism and biphobia when trying to access S.T.I help. We experience multiple barriers from medical institutions, from Queer communities and from communities of colour too. It often feels … Continue reading World AIDS day 2019 →

Biphobia from lesbians, gays and straights often mean they’ll snap pics constantly, but suddenly put their cameras down when they see a bisexual group or stall. See … Continue reading Black Pride 2019 Pics →
