[UK]: The Bisexuality Report, 15 February 2012

bialogue-group:

[UK]: On February 15th, 2012 BiUK - in collaboration with the Open University - launched “The Bisexuality Report”

Bisexual people are included in the acronym LGBT but often our issues and circumstances are not separately understood in practice. This is despite clear evidence that we experience discrimination in education, in society, and in the workplace and that we are more at risk of mental health problems than lesbian, gay, or heterosexual people.

Bisexual people are subject to a specific form of discrimination - “biphobia” - because we do not fit the simplistic “you’re either gay or straight” model of sexuality.

This in-depth report summarises national and international evidence and draws out useful recommendations for future bisexual inclusion in many different settings.
