This weekend marks the city of Boston’s 49th annual Pride celebration , when members of the LGBT+ community and their allies will march, dance, sing, and honor their own identities and those of other queer folks in Boston and all over the world. Throughout Pride Week (May 31 to June 9), some have likely referred to the celebration as “gay pride.” The term “gay” is often used as a shorthand that is supposed to capture everyone who isn’t straight or cisgender. Focusing solely on sexuality, referring to the community as “gay” typically includes only those who experience attraction to people of their same gender.
Who is forgotten? What about the “B” in LGBT+, who make up 40 percent of the queer population ? Bisexual people, who may be attracted to other people of their own gender as well as those of any and all other genders, are often misunderstood and may experience prejudice based on their sexuality. Like homophobia, the term biphobia refers to the discrimination, oppression, and trauma many bisexual people face, and it can contribute to multiple negative health effects.
As a whole, queer people who come out to their medical providers are able to get care that reflects their specific needs, but this can potentially lead to homophobia if the medical provider or their team are not supportive. This is especially true for bisexual people; almost half of bisexual people report experiencing biphobia in a medical setting . As a result, only about two-thirds of bisexual people come out to their doctor, compared to nearly 90 percent of gay men and lesbians. For some people, the stress isn’t worth it, so they stop seeking preventive medical care. Bisexual people are more likely to have high cholesterol, asthma, cancer, heart disease, and obesity, all health effects that may be helped by seeing a doctor regularly.
Bisexual people are also more likely to have poorer sexual health , often stemming from a lack of resources and education that is specific to their needs. Compared to heterosexual and gay/lesbian people, bisexual people are more likely to engage in risky sexual behavior, including lack of condom use, substance use with sexual activity, and not getting tested for STI/HIV. Bisexual women are also at greater risk for intimate partner and sexual violence. A staggering three out of four of bisexual women in the United States have experienced sexual violence in their lifetime; less than half of heterosexual women and lesbians have had such violence enacted upon them. Research indicates that this may be due to male partners fetishizing their female partner’s attraction to women, thereby dehumanizing her and making it easier to justify violence.
Bisexuals are exposed to what’s often referred to as “ double discrimination ” as well. Simply put, this refers to the fact that biphobia and stigma can come not only from dominant straight culture, but also from other queer individuals. In fact, even at LGBT+ events like Saturday’s Pride Festival, many bisexual people feel unwelcome . Too many nonbisexual people believe that bisexuality isn’t a valid sexual orientation . And sometimes, even If they acknowledge bisexuality is real, biphobic myths that bisexual people are immoral or untrustworthy persist. It’s no surprise that many bisexual people feel cut off from, and unaccepted by, both groups. Most gay men and lesbians come out to their loved ones; most bisexual people never do . This all leads to similar mental health effects that arise with homophobia. The queer population as a whole experiences higher rates of depression, binge drinking, self-harm, and suicidality than the straight population. That said , compared to all other women, bisexual women are more likely to have an eating disorder, experience high levels of stress, and engage in substance use.
So, how can we stop neglecting the bisexual population? For one, we should allocate more resources to bisexual populations. From 1970 to 2010, less than 0.02 percent of funding to LGBT+ organizations went to those focused specifically on bisexual people. Additionally, medical providers can do more to show their support for bisexual people. For example, intake forms can give patients an option to more comfortably come out, leaving space for “other” sexualities than those listed. Providers can also ask patients what kind of sex they are having to better assess risk without forcing patients to label themselves. We can also change the cultural assumptions about bisexuality, both among the straight majority and among fellow members of the LGBT+ community. Allies and advocates can help raise awareness of these health effects and call out biphobia when they see it. Earlier efforts to combat biphobia are working; younger people are much more accepting of bisexuals than older generations . The “B” in LGBT+ deserves to be celebrated and honored. This Saturday at Pride, we can all stand against biphobia and start improving the health of bisexual people.

Great read! Bi representation is important :)
Thank you for writing this, Danielle! I appreciate your thoughts about the double discrimination, in particular. It is disheartening to see bisexual people and their needs overlooked or discounted time and time again, especially during Pride. I hope we can all grow in our understanding of human sexuality and advocate for each other in the LGBTQ community.
I created a website last year about this exact issue: https://www.bi-representation.com
It’s still a work in progress, but I think it may be interesting to your readers who may want to learn more about the theory behind issues of bi erasure and biphobia.

A very important topic that you wrote about very well. This hit me hard, as I’m Bi and have definitely experienced biphobia and bi erasure. I actually didn’t know the statistics for being in an abusive relationship, but I was in a previous one. And even now, in my healthy relationship my boyfriend will go on about me being lesbian, and saying that I’m not actually bi because I haven’t been with a woman. So thank you so much for writing this, and hopefully everyone will do better with acceptance in the future.
As a member of the bi community, I thoroughly enjoyed this article. Super informative & it feels nice to be represented in a positive way – even if the stats and facts are a bummer. Big appreciation for this article and for the author for tackling this issue. Stuff like this gives me (and I’m certain the rest of the community) hope. Thank you!
Great article for helping non-bisexuals, whether they are queer or not, understand some of the struggles that our under-represented population goes through! Thanks for writing and giving bisexuals a voice about these issues!
I live in Boston and I travel the U.S. and beyond speaking about bisexual identity. I have a program on Challenging Biphobia, and another on Bisexual Health, and more. Every time I come across something thoughtful written about bisexuality, I feel a sense of relief. So thank you for this.
PS: The comments, too, are unusually thoughtful, useful, kind, and coherent.

The worst part about bi exclusion, biphobia and gatekeeping at pride is the fact that we created it! A Bisexual woman by the name of Brenda howard organized week long events and created the first pride and is known as the mother of pride, yet bi flags are seen the least. There’s a lack of representation and respect, acknowledgement and welcoming.
In fact this year’s been the worst for erasure as everyone has been saying the first pride was a riot and re crediting it to stonewall.
No! The first pride was not a riot. There’s difference between a pride parade and a riot. And Brenda howard a bisexual creates it. Stonewall got all of it’s just due credit, but do not dare dismiss and rewrite history and erase bisexuals and contributions.
Yup, it can be very unfortunate for bisexuals who are the backbone of the community to constantly be overlooked or seen as less than in the community they helped create.
There are no sapphic bi bars for wlw to go and be safe and secure in. There are no bi boy bars. Now I actually wouldn’t want There to be that. I don’t think we need hyper seperate arenas, however, the point is bisexuals can only go into what’s known as gay or lesbian bars in order to be part of the queer community and socialize and meet potential partners.
Going into a queer space is absolutely nerve racking and then being immediately ostracized and picked apart is traumatic. I’m an experienced wlw, but I’m not going to give a body count to some toxic women starring at me skeptically because she wants to gage my gayness. That’s gross.
Bisexuals just want to be able to meet connect, make friends like anyone else, fall in love naturally. We experience homophobia from straights, and biphobia from lesbians and gays.
We also can’t control which way we lean. Not every bi has a bi cycle or goes back n forth or is in the middle. A mostly gay or gay leaning bisexual does not have straight privilege. And even those in straight relationships don’t have the kind if privilege people think they do.
