For queer people, by queer people (with a few exceptions)

Celebrate Bisexual Awareness Month this September with us, with a brilliant panel on ‘Bisexual Erasure,’ featuring Jacob Evje, Linda Nesse, and Sam Fluit.

Although bisexual people make up the largest group among queer individuals, they are often overlooked, denied, or misunderstood—both within the queer movement, in history, in academia, and in the media. In its most extreme form, this involves what is called bi erasure, or bisexual invisibility: a claim that bisexuality does not exist, and that people who identify as bisexual are actually either heterosexual or homosexual.

Such beliefs create fertile ground for stereotypical perceptions, such as that bisexual people are confused, in denial, or—as with bisexual men—actually gay and just “need time to decide.” This phenomenon is closely linked to biphobia. Even though these attitudes are not always expressed openly or aggressively, they contribute to invisibility and pose significant challenges for bisexual individuals, who often experience marginalization both in society at large and within the LGBTQ community.

**The lecture will be held in English**

Bring a friend, bring your head – we promise some new thoughts and ideas, nice people and a good time!
