I’ve recently been voted in as the bisexual people’s rep for London Pride Community Advisory Board! http://prideinlondon.org/about/who/community-advisory-board/

I promise to do the following:-

1 LISTEN TO BISEXUAL PEOPLE!

2 Not be so into myself I will refuse to learn

3 Listen to bi folks some more

I hope to count on your support as I take on this new post. Because I’m half overjoyed and half petrified!

I can be contacted at Jacq.bi.rep AT gmail DOT COM

I was interviewed by Empathize This ( http://empathizethis.com) a great website that creates comic strips based on social justice.

I wish biphobia at LGBT events didn’t happen, but they do at almost every single one I’ve been to. I felt so sad when I saw the image of myself crying at Brighton pride, after I was spat on; it’s one of the most horrible things to happen in a supposedly LGBT space. I remember how alone I felt when it happened. I also remember how that incident still makes me nervous at times. However, the final image of me hugging a bisexual heart makes me smile. I am happy to be bi. I’m happy that I can love others. I just wish lesbian and gay folks would be happy to leave me alone too.

Bis are not more evolved…
