Bisexuality, as a sexual orientation, encompasses attraction to more than one gender. Despite growing acceptance, bisexual individuals often confront unique challenges that differ from both heterosexual and homosexual experiences.

The fight for bisexual youth is not rhetorical or symbolic; it is a material struggle over whether bisexual people are permitted to have a lifespan. Youth protection is the infrastructure of elderhood. When bisexual young people are erased from schools, denied competent healthcare, dismissed by families, or pathologized as “confused” or “temporary,” the result is not ambiguity it is attrition. People burn out, disappear from community, age into poverty and isolation, or die younger. This is how histories are amputated before they mature. Bisexual elders do not emerge spontaneously; they are produced only when young people are given language early, safety consistently, and dignity without preconditions. Every demand that a bi youth fragment themselves to be tolerated straight enough here, queer enough there is a quiet foreclosure on their future. A movement that claims to value queer futures while treating bisexual youth as expendable is not neutral; it is actively manufacturing a future without continuity.

Bisexual elders are living archives, but they are also evidence of the cost of survival in the absence of protection. Many carry decades of medical neglect, economic precarity, family estrangement, and movement level betrayal because no one intervened early enough. Protecting bisexual youth is how that damage stops reproducing itself. It is how aging becomes something other than shrinking visibility and accumulating loss. This fight is about housing, mental healthcare, education, data integrity, and community structures that do not abandon people once they age out of trend cycles or respectability politics. The stakes are brutally concrete: who lives long enough to mentor, who gets remembered, and who is allowed to exist without apology across an entire life. If we want bisexual elders tomorrow, we must defend bisexual youth now with zero ambiguity. Anything less is not oversight it is complicity.

Being bisexual has taught me that visibility is often far more complicated than people want to admit. There are still those who will measure your identity against your current relationship. There are still people who believe bisexuality becomes more or less real depending on who you are dating, who you have dated, or whether you are dating anyone at all. There are still spaces where bisexual people are expected to explain themselves, defend themselves, and prove themselves in ways that others rarely have to. That reality is exhausting, but it is also clarifying. It teaches you that self respect cannot be built on external validation because external validation can be withdrawn at any moment. Eventually, you learn that your identity does not become legitimate when someone else recognizes it. It was legitimate long before they arrived and it will remain legitimate long after they leave.

So yes, I entered another Pride season single, hot, and bisexual as hell. Not as a joke. Not as a performance. Not as an attempt to convince anyone of anything. I say it because there is power in refusing to diminish yourself. I say it because there is freedom in rejecting the idea that being single is somehow a lesser state of existence. I say it because bisexual people spend enough of our lives being told that we are too much of one thing, not enough of another, too visible for some people, and invisible to everyone else. At a certain point, you stop negotiating with those expectations. You stop apologizing for taking up space. You stop asking permission to exist exactly as you are.

The deeper truth is that being single is not a waiting room, and Pride is not a finish line. Neither exists to hold you in suspension until some future version of your life finally arrives. Life is happening now. Your identity is real now. Your joy is real now. Your body is worthy now. Your place within the bisexual community is real now. There is profound wisdom in understanding that fulfillment cannot always be postponed until circumstances become ideal. Sometimes the most radical thing a bisexual person can do is stand fully in their own life, without qualification, without apology, and without the need to make themselves smaller for the comfort of others.

This Pride, I am not celebrating the possibility of becoming someone else. I am celebrating the reality of already being enough. Not perfect. Not finished. Not immune to loneliness, doubt, or uncertainty. Just enough. Entirely, unapologetically, and undeniably enough. And after everything bisexual people have endured from erasure and misunderstanding to outright dismissal that simple truth remains one of the most powerful acts of resistance there is.

Statement on National Bi+ Erasure

The current U.S. administration has been loudly and aggressively attacking the trans community in ways that have taken center stage in all of our news feeds. We have been standing in solidarity with our trans, nonbinary, gender-nonconforming, and intersex siblings as politicians the world over try to erase this vibrant community from our collective history and culture. This heightened climate of transphobia endangers lives, undermines civil rights, and is an affront to humanity.

And make no mistake: those who would attack the trans community have always intended to come for every single letter of the acronym.

Alongside the explicit attacks on things like gender-affirming care and the right to transition, we’re now experiencing a quiet and methodical erasure of bisexual history by the Trump administration as well.

Journalist Erin Reed has brought attention to the fact that, without much fanfare, the National Park Service has removed all references to bisexuals from its Stonewall National Monument webpages. Originally reading “lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or queer (LGBTQ+),” the website was first altered to remove all uses of “transgender” and strike the ‘TQ+’ from “LGBTQ+”.

It now reads: “Stonewall was a milestone for gay and lesbian civil rights that provided momentum for a movement.” All references to “bisexual” have been excluded.

As an organization dedicated to helping build up a thriving bi+ community, we have a lot to say about bisexual erasure. We are no strangers to attempts to exclude us from the broader queer community, and we are not going anywhere quietly. Bi+ people have always been here, and we will always be here. Those who took the digital whiteout to the national Stonewall website should be ashamed of what they’ve done, but they should also know that there’s no victory for them on the other side of such actions. We’re not going anywhere, and we will make sure that future generations know where we have been.

To every bisexual, pansexual, polysexual, and queer person out there: you are far too valuable to ever be erased or forgotten. Bi+ history is LGBTQ+ history. We will never stop telling our stories and recognizing each other. No administration or government will keep us from fighting for our collective future and appreciating the unique place we occupy in our societal rainbow.

And to all our lesbian, gay, trans, ace, and other queer families: we are here for you and we hope you will be here for us in turn. We need each other. We have nothing to lose and everything to gain from standing hand-in-hand with our fellow LGBTQ+ community members, facing every threat in solidarity. Our stories have always been intertwined, and so are our hopes for a better, safer, and more rightfully inclusive future.

In solidarity,

Did you know? (Art by CheekyFaceStyles)

Did you know that queer people, including us bisexuals, have always existed and will always exist year round, regardless of visibility, acceptance, or legal recognition? Existing as bisexual isn’t a phase, a fraction, or a footnote in history it’s a continuous, undeniable part of humanity, woven into every culture, generation, and community. Despite myths, phobia, and erasure, we are everywhere in every industry, every movement, and every corner of society. Our existence shouldn’t be erased from history. We shouldn’t be left out of conversations or fade away when it’s inconvenient, nor does our identity disappear when representation slips from view. We are not some kind of 'in between'; we are whole, valid, and valued. The question isn’t whether we belong, because we do. The real question is how we ensure that our presence is impossible to ignore, our contributions are fully recognized, and our community is strengthened by the truth that we have always been here and always will be.

Authentic bisexual stories are long overdue. For too long, the experiences of bisexual individuals have been erased, misunderstood, or reduced to harmful stereotypes. It’s time to change that. Bisexuality isn’t a phase, a stepping stone, or something defined solely by the gender of a partner it’s a valid, vibrant identity with challenges, joys, and triumphs. The world needs stories that reflect this truth, stories that capture the full spectrum of bisexual experiences: love, struggle, identity, and community.

These stories matter deeply. They break down barriers, challenge stigma, and foster understanding. For someone questioning their identity, seeing an authentic reflection of themselves can be life changing. For allies and advocates, these narratives can be powerful tools to build empathy and support. Every story told with care and honesty brings us closer to a world where bisexual voices are heard and valued.

This is a call to action. Writers, creators, and advocates: the time to tell these stories is now. Each story is a step toward visibility and acceptance, a way to celebrate bisexual lives in all their complexity and beauty. The world is ready for these narratives are you ready to share them? Let’s commit to living our truth, one story at a time, and ensure that bisexual experiences are seen, understood, and celebrated. Together, we can create a future where everyone feels recognized and valued.
