Why Bi+ Visibility Matters, from the Bi+ Ireland Network. ‘Nuff said (aside from: B+I is my baby, g’wan over to FB and give it some love? And if you’re bi+ and connected to Ireland, shure you might as well send us a PM over there and join our group. We’re great craic, like.)
[Bi+ Visibility matters to me because we all spend too much time feeling like the only one in the room.]
I need Bi+ Visibility because I’m not HALF lesbian or HALF straight, and when I love somebody I don’t HALF love them!!
[Bi Visibility is important to me because WE ARE FAB(ulously invisible…)]
[I need Bi+ Visibility so I’m not told to “CHOOSE” when I come out to someone.]
[Bi visibility matters to me because dichotomising sexual/romantic attraction dichotomises gender, which makes it harder for all of us to be ourselves]
[Bi+ visibility is important to me because I don’t want someone else to speak for me!]
[I need bi+ visibility because I’m real & this isn’t a phase. I am not part straight or part gay. I’m bi.]

She will tell you how to pronounce her name, but only if you ask very nicely.
