If you think bisexuality is confusing, don’t worry! It just means someone is attracted to more than one gender.
It doesn’t mean they’re kinky, promiscuous, or into group sex.
Uh, well - some us are, sure but that’s unrelated.

The bisexual pride flag was not trademarked. The creator, Michael Page, deliberately released it to the community as public domain in 1998 to prioritise visibility over profit.
Yes this means corporations make money out of it. But being out is more important.

Bisexuality is valid, and you are okay.
It’s not a slur, not a crime to feel this way.
So have pride in your self, just ignore what they say.

We’ll have flags and tweet, sure. But you can fight bisexual erasure by simply not assuming every single person you ever meet is either straight or gay.

so please don't
• co-opt the day by coming out as an ally
• out anyone
• feel you owe anyone to come out
For some bisexual people being out is a difficult thing - we're told it's the end of "living in fear" but it's often more like a new chapter.

Bisexuals are not 'being invisible'. It's not something we do. Nor is it a passive circumstance.
We are erased by others.
It is done to us.

Bisexuality isn't "in between" gay and straight. Trying to make additional options into fractions between One and Two is just a way of reinforcing the binary by making us shades of them.
Bisexuality is real.
Bisexuality is valid.
Bisexuality isn't binary.

You don't have to be attracted to people of your own gender to be bisexual.
You don't have to believe there's an 'opposite' to your gender, let alone be attracted to that.
As far as we're concerned: bisexuality is attraction to more than one gender. That's it.

Bisexuality is not both "gay and straight" at the same time. Bisexuality is not a mash-up, a muddle, the merging of other sexualities.
Is purple both red and blue? Does someone indifferent to Marmite love it and hate it?
We're not sure this can be explained any more patiently.

Bisexuals are not an "invisible silent minority" in LGBT.
We are visible, you choose to ignore us.
We are outspoken, you're choosing to not listen to us.
We outnumber you, you've kept us separated.

Defining bisexuality as "attracted to both my gender and others" excludes people attracted to more than one gender who are not attracted to members of their own gender.

Your sexuality doesn't vanish when you're single.
Your sexuality is not who you are dating.
Even if you get married, that's not your sexuality.
Bisexuality is ATTRACTION to more than one gender.

Some bisexuals are kinky.
Some gay and straight people are too.
Some bisexual people like to be in poly relationships.
Some gay and straight people do too.
Stereotypes hurt when used as blankets but rushing to say 'none of us' hurts some of us.

Keep using it. Overcoming this, with humour, outrage, and hope, will become part of its proud history.

Some people say biphobia isn't a fear because "no-one is scared of bisexuals".
We say it is a fear because heteronormative society is scared of bisexuality and the implications it creates.
Although at this time of the morning we mainly say "cc..coffee?"
Anyway. Happy

Bisexuality is just attraction to more than one gender. Saying it's "complicated" or "difficult to define" is a minimising tactic, designed to keep people using the labels 'gay' and 'straight'. It's straight-up biphobia. IDAHOBIT

When we say
"It's not two, it's two or more!"
some people hear
"It's two (or more)"
which becomes in their heads
"It is two, although…"
This is one reason we at

promote the definition:
"Bisexuality is attraction to more than one gender".
