September 22, 2023 Why do we skip over bisexuality?
Why are villains on screen often portrayed as bisexual? Is Brokeback Mountain a bisexual love story? Its bisexual awareness week and today we deep dive into how bisexuality is represented in culture with the brilliant Julia Shaw. When Julia came out as bisexual, literature and resources for bisexual people were in short supply, so she created her very own bisexual bible and it’s brilliant!
You can listen to the full episode with Julia here.
