Bisexuals inhabit a liminal space between cultures, often misunderstood or dismissed by the straight and LGBTQ+ communities alike. We are the sexual identity most likely to be closeted, most at risk of mental illness, domestic abuse, and even heart disease -- but also the least visible. Now, a selection of intersectional bi voices has come together to share stories, helping our voices be heard and our identities seen. It's time to stand up and spread the word.
Biblia Séria
Táto séria sa ponorí do zložitej reality bisexuality a odhalí neviditeľné a často nepochopené úskalia tejto sexuálnej orientácie. Prostredníctvom surových a osobných príbehov skúma kultúrne, sociálne a psychologické dopady života na pomedzí. Séria si kladie za cieľ zvýšiť povedomie, podporiť porozumenie a osláviť odolnosť a jedinečnosť bisexuálnej skúsenosti. Je to výzva na viditeľnosť a uznanie pre marginalizovanú komunitu.

Bisexuals inhabit a liminal space between cultures, often misunderstood and criticized by both the straight community and the LGBTQ+ alike. They are called fence-sitters, greedy, promiscuous, incapable of decisions or monogamy, or simply dismissed as non-existent like a stubborn urban legend. Bisexuals suffer both the abuse incurred for existence and the erasure that claims nonexistence: a half-life, a state of being and not being, simultaneously too gay and not gay enough. Because of this and many other factors, the statistics for bisexual wellbeing are bleak – they are more likely to suffer from mental health issues, more likely to be closeted, at higher risk of domestic abuse and assault from partners, and even at higher risk of conditions like heart disease and addiction. It is time to dig into these issues and step out of the liminal space – into a full life where voices and stories can be heard, and identities declared valid. These anthologies are also an invitation to sharing and understanding – open books, so to speak, extending a discussion to other communities in the hope of learning more about each other and the beautiful, multifaceted, endlessly complex and individual world of sexuality.
