Those of us that enthusiastically embraced femininity or that actively sought out masculine presenting butches, were deemed perpetually suspect. Femmes were imagined as being always on the verge of abandoning the lesbian-feminist commu- nities that nurtured us for the respectability and privilege that hetero- sexual relations might afford. The label bisexuality, for those that dared to claim it, was viewed as the apolitical cop-out for those that were not radical enough to fully commit to the implied lesbian practice of feminist theory. In the bad old days of lesbian separatist politics, bisexu- ality was attached to a yearning, not just for men, but for multifarious sexual pleasures deemed decidedly anti-feminist including desires for penetration, sexual dominance and submission, and the wickedly per- verse delights of expressive gender roles. Decades later, discursive prac- tices have shifted. The B is now routinely added to the label LGBT and the umbrella of queer provides discursive cover for sexual practices that fall outside the normative frameworks of heteropatriarchy.

  • Biphobia, Bisexual Erasure and Their Impact on Mental Health
    The Invisi_les: Biphobia, Bisexual Erasure and Their Impact on Mental Health ANDREA PENNASILICO [email protected] University of Naples Federico II ANNA LISA AMODEO1 [email protected] University of Naples Federico II Abstract In the last few years, research on lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) health increased, but little scientific literature has been focused on bisexual health. This critical review aims at understanding the relationship between discrimination towards bisexual people and their mental and physical health. The first part of the article reviews different forms of bisexual discrimination, such as biphobia, bisexual invisibility, and bi-erasure, showing how biphobia is different from homophobia, especially considering how heavily it is perpetrated inside and outside the community. The second part of the paper focuses on gathering data about bisexual people’s health, showing the differences with the gay and lesbian community, as well as the diverse effects that discrimination can have on physical and mental outcomes. Finally, the last part focuses on the healthcare experiences of bisexual people and what can be done to improve their health. 1. Introduction Bisexuality generally refers to the attraction towards more than one gender. Notwithstanding the scientific increased interest in bisexual health in the last decades, bisexual people still are acknowledged to be an ‘invisible’ and ‘excluded’ population within several domains, such as media, gay and lesbian communities, and healthcare research. Recently, the attention on bisexuality is starting to increase and more literature on the matter is being published, along with a slow but steady increase of positive representation in the media. Therefore, a paper that collects all useful resources available on bisexuality and mental health can be especially needed in setting the groundwork for future research.

  • Study Maps Challenges and Opportunities for Pro-LGBT Companies Operating in Anti-LGBT Markets
    Contact: Tai Wingfield 1-212-315-2333 [email protected] Study Maps Challenges and Opportunities for Pro-LGBT Companies Operating in Anti-LGBT Markets Study shows multi-national corporations how to promote LGBT equality and strengthen growth NEW YORK, January 22, 2016 — Fifty-eight percent of LGBT employees at multi-national corporations (MNCs) say their company has a nondiscrimination policy based on sexual orientation and transgender identity. However, LGBT-supportive MNCs struggle to extend that protection beyond their walls in anti- LGBT jurisdictions, given that seventy-five countries still criminalize same-sex sexual conduct1. The Center for Talent Innovation’s 10-market study (including Brazil, China, Hong Kong, India, Russia, Singapore, South Africa, Turkey, the UK, and the US), Out in the World: Securing LGBT Rights in the Global Marketplace, shows LGBT-supportive MNCs how to foster an inclusive and safe environment for employees both on and off corporate campuses in anti-LGBT geographies. Co-authored by legal scholar Kenji Yoshino and CTI Founder and President Sylvia Ann Hewlett, the study of 1,964 LGBT professionals and 10,242 non-LGBT professionals maps the world into three categories: countries with LGBT-hostile laws (India, Russia, and Singapore); geographies with LGBT-unfriendly laws (China, Hong Kong, and Turkey); and countries with LGBT-friendly laws (Brazil, South Africa, the UK, and the US). The report highlights ways in which MNCs operating in LGBT-unfriendly and hostile jurisdictions might move markets and mores toward greater LGBT equality. Tactics fall within three models of engagement: The “When in Rome” model, in which companies adhere to the norms and local laws of the jurisdiction, but allow employees to opt-out of placement there.

The Concept of Covering The Concept of Covering Covering is a strategy through which an individual downplays a stigmatized identity1 Appearance-based covering concerns how individuals alter their self-presentation (grooming, attire, and mannerisms) to blend into the mainstream. A man may color his hair because he does not want to be perceived as too old and unable to “keep up.” Affiliation-based covering concerns how individuals avoid behaviors widely associated with their identity, often to negate stereotypes about that identity.

  • The Epistemic Contract of Bisexual Erasure
    TheEpistemic Contract of Bisexual Erasure KenjiYoshino* In thisarticle, Professor Kenji Yoshino seeks to explainwhy the category of bisexualityhas beenerased in contemporaryAmerican political and legal discourse.He firstargues that the invisibility ofbisexuality relative to homo- sexualitydoes not reflect the incidences of those orientations in thepopulation. Definingbisexuality as thepossession of more than incidental desire for both sexes,Yoshino shows that the major sexuality studies demonstrate that the inci- denceof bisexuality is infact greater than or comparableto theincidence of homosexuality.Yoshino explains the erasure of bisexualityby positing that bothself-identified heterosexuals and self-identified homosexuals have overlap- ping interestsin theerasure of bisexualitythat lead theminto an "epistemic contract"of bisexual erasure. These interests include: (1) thestabilization of exclusivesexual orientation categories; (2) theretention of sex as an important diacriticalaxis; and (3) theprotection of normsof monogamy.Noting that suchcontracts tend to becomevisible only when they are challenged,Yoshino describeshow bisexualshave increasinglycontested their own erasure. Fi- nally,Yoshino examines the effects of bisexual invisibility and visibilityin the legal realm,focusing on thesexual harassment jurisprudence of recentdec- ades. * AssociateProfessor, Yale Law School.
