With brilliantly messy bisexual characters on Sex Lives of College Girls and XO, Kitty, the bi agenda is dominating the screen – but we need more gender diversity.
Coming out as bisexual after years of identifying as a lesbian, I had a realisation – dyke spaces might be thin on the ground, but bi+ spaces are non-existent.
Yep, I said it. Explicitly bisexual bars or community spaces, where folks of various gender identities can come together under the bi+ banner, just don’t exist in most cities.
And as much as queer nightlife is seen as an escapist, progressive realm, there are so few parties which focus on sexual fluidity – instead, they’re still often divided into spaces for the lesbian or gay community, with the bis seen as a mere add-on.
