Title reads: Bi Visibility Day, a comic by @soovertherainbow. Emperor Robot says, \u201cThis comic is as subtle as a brick! And it\u2019S interrupting my Firefly marathon.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n
\"\"
Futuristic robot states, \u201cThis new Robot LGBT+ group just got funded. Isn\u2019t that great!\u201d
Another robot at ground level wears a sash with the words, \u201cBi Pride\u201d on it. They respond, \u201cThey don\u2019t have anything specific for bisexual Robots.\u201d<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n
\"\"
Futuristic robot says, \u201cWhat about this LGBT+ group for Black humans? The Emperor\u2019s girlfriend will love that.\u201d
Robot at ground level replies, \u201cNo she won\u2019t. They don\u2019t have anything specific for bisexuals.\u201d<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n
\"\"
Futuristic robot asks, \u201cWhy are you being so difficult?\u201d
Robot at ground level replies, \u201cWhy are you being a wanker? Answer that, you biphobic tosser.\u201d<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n
\"\"
Futuristic robot starts to say, \u201cYou\u2019ll lose an ally if you don\u2019t argh!, but is unable to finish speaking, as the robot on the ground extends its arm, striking the floating futuristic robot.
The robot on the ground says, \u201cBisexuals may not get much funding, but we know how to spend it well.\u201d An arrow points to the side of the robot\u2019s arm stating, \u201cExtendo-arm. Only \u00a350!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n

Bisexuals get a minuscule amount of funding because of Biphobia. 
LGBT+ organisations rarely provide anything specific for bisexuals because of Biphobia.
The unique experiences of bisexuals are usually incorporated into LGBT+ reports and stats, but never separated by individual sexual orientation because of Biphobia.
Black and POC charities for LGBT+ are terrible at welcoming bisexuals, providing resources for bisexuals and even saying the word bisexual. And why? Because of biphobia.
We are the B in LGBT+ but are rarely represented by Queer organisations. We regularly receive violence and abuse at Pride events from Lesbian and Gay folks. And if we live with other oppressions, our lives can be unbearable. Because of Biphobia.
Queer Hate doesn\u2019t only come from Straight people. Hell, they don\u2019t have to lift a finger, because so many Lesbian and Gay folks do the work for them. <\/p>\n

So if you want to shine a light on bisexual visibility, then shed some of that light on how we face biphobia inside the so called LGBT+ communities as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
