Bisexuality is one of the most common sexualities after being straight, yet it remains one of the least understood, least funded and least visible parts of the LGBTQ+ conversation.
Too often, bisexual people are technically included in Pride activity, but rarely properly understood. The B is in the acronym, but bi-specific issues are often missing from campaigns, workplace conversations and media representation.
That is why Milk & Honey PR has created Bisexuality Demystified: A practical guide for PR professionals.
Written by Lewis Oakley, Head of Broadcast at Milk & Honey PR, the guide is designed to help comms professionals better understand bisexuality, the challenges facing bisexual people, and the role the industry can play in improving representation.
Lewis has spent more than a decade working to improve understanding of bisexuality. He is the author of Bisexuality: The Basics, host of Bisexual Brunch, one of the UK’s leading LGBTQ+ podcasts, and founder of Ask a Bi Dad, the world’s only bisexual advice column. He regularly speaks and broadcasts on bisexuality, LGBTQ+ issues, relationships, media representation and culture.
The guide includes:
- A clear introduction to why bisexuality needs better PR
- A stat pack showing the scale of the issue
- Key challenges facing bisexual people, from invisibility and isolation to dating stigma, workplace inclusion and mental health
- Practical takeouts for comms professionals looking to make their work more inclusive and more imaginative
The aim is simple: to help the communications industry better understand bisexuality and use its creativity, influence and storytelling power to improve cultural perception by Pride 2027.
