In this episode of Big Bi+ Questions, we were joined by Andrew “Doogie” MacDougall, host of the Pride & Puck podcast and an advocate for LGBTQIA+ inclusion. Doogie shared his journey with settling into his multi-gender attracted identity and we unpacked what bi+ visibility looks like across different environments, how it’s shifted with age or political climate, and what subtle forms of visibility can mean.

Where are all the bi+ sports people? To help us answer this big question, we were joined by passionate sports inclusion advocate and proud bisexual man, Kade Matthews.

We also welcomed back previous guest Joey Talison and introduced our new co-host Raena to the Big Bi+ Questions team.

Together, we had a chat about bi+ visibility in professional and non-professional sports, why openly bi+ athletes are still rare, and how gender, media, and sporting culture shape the experiences of multi-gender attracted players.

Coming out usually doesn’t happen just once, but coming out once can sometimes mean you have to be ‘out’ everywhere. Whilst others may be able to choose where they are ‘out’.

Joseph Talison, author of ‘What not to say to a bisexual’ and ‘Discovering Douglas’ joined the Big Bi+ Questions team for a chat about coming out and being out, and why it’s sometimes harder for bi+ people to come out compared to gay and lesbian people.

Sure, there are some harmful bi+ stereotypes out there but there are a lot of fun ones such as the stereotype that bi+ people can’t sit on chairs properly. On this episode of Big Bi+ Questions, we had a big bi+ chat about where these stereotypes came from, how we feel about them, and how they can help bi+ people feel part of a community.
