Passend zum Bi+ Visibility Day am 23. September, findet ihr die neue Folge @queergeredet über Sichtbarkeit von Bisexualität überall, wo's Podcasts gibt. Mara vom Projekt Gentle Queer und Claudius von @sissythattalk sprechen mit Jan Willems vom Podcast @biyourside über seine Bisexualität, welche Repräsentation er sich wünscht und wie er seine romantischen und sexuellen Beziehungen lebt. Zudem haben wir uns mit Biggi noch die Stimme einer bisexuellen Frau über Vorurteile, die sie wahrnimmt, eingeholt. Denn noch immer sind bi- und pansexuelle Menschen Stereotypisierung in der Gesellschaft ausgesetzt. Weiblich gelesenen Menschen wird unterstellt, sie seien eigentlich hetero - männlich gelesenen, sie seien homosexuell. Zusammen möchten wir mit Mythen und Vorurteilen rund um die Bisexualität aufräumen und zeigen wie vielfältig und fluide sowohl Sexualität als auch Beziehungsformen sein können. @queergeredet by Gentle Queer ist ein Projekt der @aidshilfebw in Kooperation mit @sissythattalk. Ihr habt Fragen, Anmerkungen oder Themenwünsche? Dann schreibt uns!

In keeping with this season's theme of DEMOCRACY, The Leftscape revisits special guest Matt Bird from "Down the Rabbit Hole (Episode 98)." Matt talks about his creative background, current projects as a musician and DJ in Melbourne, and gives an overview of politics in Australia and his thoughts on what it takes to be a good world citizen. Originally posted on March 21, 2021, this interview is also a time capsule view of how someone on the other side of the planet experienced "the former guy" as US president. Before the featured interview rewind, Robin Renée and Wendy Sheridan head to The Blanket Fort to talk about how they continue to care for themselves and others around them as the COVID-19 pandemic begins to enter an endemic phase. Bob Dylan's high school yearbook, the University of Akron, and how "red states" and "blue states" came to be are the focus of the 3 Random Facts of the day. "Forever chemicals," the changing status of the COVID health crisis, the latest from the war in Ukraine, Ron DeSantis's harmful stunt with migrants, and hopeful signs for the climate from the private sector are in the News. In You Got Questions? We Got Answers!, Wendy and Robin guess at what young people think of how older generations have stewarded the world. Things to do: Follow Matt Bird on Mixcloud.

For Bi Visibility Day, Sam is joined by sports commentators Michael McCann (@thisismccann) & Hannah from Blackburn Rovers LGBT+ Supporters Group (@proudrovers). They discuss being visible in the sporting world, facing biphobia and the dangers of bi-erasure.

Happy Bi-visibility Day! In this episode, Simon Callisto joins Liam to host the show. They speak to Jen Yockney MBE, one of the UK's most prominent bisexual activists. She tells them why celebrating Bi-Visibility Day on 23rd September is so important and why she has spent over 25 years campaigning for the rights of bi-people.

September 23 is Bi Visibility Day, which by rights ought to be a Unitarian Universalist holiday. Why? Because no matter what your sexual orientation, the existence of bisexuality models both/and thinking, which is so important to our journeys as spiritual seekers ... read more.

Many people continue to believe that bisexuality is not real. That it comes from an unwillingness to commit one way or the other, or that it is situational and much more likely to occur in women. Even though there is now research evidence to support that bisexuality is not only real but common, and even though we are much more willing to talk openly about sexual orientation, there is still a lot of confusion. Join Tandy and Bruce as they talk about the Klein Grid, a fun tool to use to assess your own attitudes and choices about sexual partners.

Protests broke out across the country, along with waves of sadness and exhaustion, with the news that nobody would be charged for Breonna Taylor’s death. Former “RuPaul’s Drag Race” contestants would like the fans to please, if they could, be less racist, that’d be great. We believe that everyday should be Bi Visibility Day, and so we bring to you our Salute to Bisexuals. And there’s a lot of lurid things about the Jeffrey Epstein abuse scandal — enough so that his actual victims are often forgotten. Tara Palmeri, host of the podcast Broken: Seeking Justice, joined us to talk about her attempt to change that. Learn more about your ad-choices at https://news.iheart.com/podcast-advertisers

  Host, Eric Lesh, talks with Nancy Marcus, co-founder of BiLaw and writer for LegallyBi.    Sept 19-26 is Bisexual Awareness Week, and Septender 23rd is Bi Visibility Day. On this episode we talk about the nearly five million adults in the U.S. who identify as bisexual. In case you were wondering, bi people actually comprise more than half of the entire LGBT community, yet bi people are often erased from the LGBT movement, our political discourse and even litigation.   So today we are going to talk with THE expext in this area, Nancy Marcus. Nancy is an out bi lawyer and LGBT rights activist. She is a co-founder of BiLaw, the national organization for bi lawyers, law professors, law students, and their allies, and is the author of "Bridging Bisexual Erasure in LGBT-Rights Discourse and Litigation." Nancy is a former colleague of mine at Lambda Legal, and she is also a dear friend.   After our Podcast conversation, Nancy was so inspired by my nudging her that she should be doing even MORE to help bi-inclusion in LGBT-rights advocacy along (because that's what friends do, nudge each other), she asked me to spread the word to any lawyers out there who want help framing strategically effective bi-inclusive arguments (and, possibly, helping with amicus briefing) that she would love to hear from you at LegallyBiNancy@gmail.com.

C’mon bisexuality let’s get visible! Bi, Bi, Bi Bisexuality is the theme of the week, as Bi Visibility Day is coming up this Sunday 23rd of September so let’s unpack... LEARN MORE The post 25. “Bi The Way” – Bisexuality appeared first on Hide and Seek.

26 September 2016 - We are finally back up to full power this week and have a truly terrific interview with Alex Lawson of Social Security Works! Because our listeners already have heard me talk about the mechanics of how Social Security works, Alex was free to wade out into the weeds where the world gets really interesting. He went into a great deal of detail about the dirty underbelly that the lying liars are trying so hard to keep us from seeing when they promote the privatization of Social Security. He also recommended that we take a side trip to the link for Social Security Spotlight where the (excellent) website lays out the economic impact of Social Security state by state. At the top of the show Will talked about the importance and joy of celebrating Bi Visibility Day. I was especially caught by his pointing out why it is that the largest group within the LGBTQ community is also the most ignored. For my opening section I was less cheerful in giving an update on the latest news from the protectors gathered on the Standing Rock Sioux reservation along the Cannonball River. Like Keystone XL before it, the Dakota Access Pipeline is an enormous environmental threat and its construction has already caused the bulldozing of burial grounds, sacred sites and the locations of historic villages. Pressure from around the world has caused the Obama administration to reconsider but the project is by no means stopped. We must join in demanding an end to this and all similar pipeline projects. Will then really spent time time getting into the role that journalism is playing in the protests in Charlotte. That journalists have stopped operating as journalists and now are only feeding the clicks necessary to support advertising has destroyed one of the cornerstones of our democracy. When the people lose their voice, they lose hope and then where do they turn? I spend just a few minutes talking about how banks create money and why new money is pulled out of central banks by pBisexualrivate sector banks instead of being pushed out as is the common view. One last note, if you haven't checked us, ImHoppingMad, out on Instagram yet, the six Team Arliss bunnies are now there providing their own brief comments on politics, economics and, of course, carrots. Carrots! - Arliss
