Bisexual people face specific challenges which must be addressed in policymaking.
Following Bi Visibility Day, the APPG on Global LGBT+ Rights will host an event in collaboration with Stonewall to discuss the findings of this research and challenges facing bisexual people both in the UK and abroad.
Join us at 4.30pm on tuesday 29 September for a webinar to discuss this important topic.
The event will be hosted by Baroness Barker.
In discussion with:
Nancy Kelley, Stonewall CEO
Hafsa Qureshi, Stonewall Bi Role Model of the year 2019
&
Alex Hernández, Más Igualdad Perú
Stonewall's Bi Report indicates that:
ONLY ONE IN FIVE BI PEOPLE (20 PER CENT) ARE OUT TO ALL THEIR FAMILY COMPARED TO THREE IN FIVE GAY MEN AND LESBIANS (63 PER CENT)
TWO IN FIVE BI PEOPLE (42 PER CENT) HIDE OR DISGUISE THEIR SEXUAL ORIENTATION AT WORK FOR FEAR OF DISCRIMINATION
As one respondent to Stonewall’s Bi Report said: ‘Being bisexual means finding yourself excluded by gay people and straight people in social settings. I only tell my friends about my sexuality, meaning it is hidden from my family and my work colleagues. Bisexuality is a hidden sexuality through people’s lack of acceptance.’ Kendra, 32 (Scotland).
Stonewall’s Out of the Margins report addresses human rights violations faced by lesbians, bi women and trans people (LBT+) worldwide; and it is a privilege to be joined by Alex Hernández, from Más Igualdad Perú who contributed to the report from a Peruvian perspective.
