<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>== Bisexual Community ==<br /> <br /> The &#039;&#039;&#039;bisexual community&#039;&#039;&#039; is a subset of the larger [[LGBT community]] that specifically encompasses individuals who identify as [[bisexual]]. Bisexuality refers to the romantic or sexual attraction to more than one gender. The bisexual community includes a diverse range of people with varying experiences and identities.<br /> <br /> [[file:Bisexual_Pride_Flag.svg|thumb|Bisexual Pride Flag|left]] [[file:Bis_at_NEM.jpg|thumb|Bis at NEM]] <br /> <br /> === History ===<br /> The history of the bisexual community is intertwined with the broader [[LGBT history]]. Early recognition of bisexuality can be traced back to ancient civilizations, but it was not until the 20th century that bisexuality began to be recognized as a distinct sexual orientation. The [[Stonewall riots]] of 1969 were a pivotal moment for the LGBT community, including bisexual individuals, leading to increased visibility and activism.<br /> <br /> === Identity and Terminology ===<br /> The term &quot;bisexual&quot; has evolved over time. It is often used to describe individuals who are attracted to both their own gender and other genders. However, some people prefer terms like [[pansexual]] or [[queer]] to describe their attractions more inclusively. The bisexual community advocates for the recognition and respect of diverse identities and experiences within the spectrum of bisexuality.<br /> <br /> === Challenges ===<br /> The bisexual community faces unique challenges, including [[biphobia]] and [[bisexual erasure]]. Biphobia refers to the prejudice and discrimination specifically directed at bisexual individuals, while bisexual erasure involves the denial or dismissal of bisexuality as a valid sexual orientation. These issues can lead to mental health challenges and a lack of representation in both heterosexual and LGBT spaces.<br /> <br /> === Activism and Organizations ===<br /> Numerous organizations work to support and advocate for the bisexual community. Some of these include:<br /> * [[BiNet USA]]<br /> * [[Bisexual Resource Center]]<br /> * [[The Trevor Project]]<br /> <br /> These organizations provide resources, support, and advocacy to address the specific needs of bisexual individuals.<br /> <br /> === Culture and Community ===<br /> The bisexual community has a rich culture that includes literature, art, and media representation. Bisexual characters and themes are increasingly visible in television, film, and literature, contributing to greater awareness and acceptance. Events such as [[Bi Visibility Day]] on September 23rd celebrate and promote bisexuality.<br /> <br /> === Related Pages ===<br /> * [[LGBT community]]<br /> * [[Bisexuality]]<br /> * [[Pansexuality]]<br /> * [[Queer]]<br /> * [[Biphobia]]<br /> * [[Bisexual erasure]]<br /> * [[Stonewall riots]]<br /> * [[BiNet USA]]<br /> * [[Bisexual Resource Center]]<br /> * [[The Trevor Project]]<br /> * [[Bi Visibility Day]]<br /> <br /> [[Category:LGBT]]<br /> [[Category:Sexual orientation]]<br /> [[Category:Bisexuality]]<br /> [[Category:Community]]<br /> <br /> {{LGBT-stub}}</div>
