With the piece on Cucumber finally posted before the premiere of It's A Sin.. has the representation of bisexuality in Russell T Davies's 'gay life in the UK' dramas improved in the past six years? Let's just say that, once again, the acting is great, the direction, camera work and editing are great, and the soundtrack is great too. The… Read more »
I was on the team for BiCon 2013, held at the University of Edinburgh's John Macintyre Conference Centre (sessions) and Pollock Halls (accommodation in surrounding blocks). Pollock Halls is, looked at from one perspective, a large hotel that just happens to have students in it for much of the year. Over the summer, the demand for accommodation in Edinburgh is… Read more »
Two things happened twenty two years ago that still resonate within the bi community. One was a BiCon organising team trying to do away with the sliding scale, the idea that people with less money pay less to attend BiCon. Let's just say that the reaction from the community meant that they quickly accepted they'd made a mistake, and no-one's… Read more »
TL;DR: If you have or had a Livejournal account, treat the login details as compromised. Which social network becomes popular with which bunch of people is more a matter of chance than anything else. Being a 'great' social network helps, but if another site is 'good enough' and has user base large enough, it doesn't matter. Until enough of them… Read more »
Looking at London LGBT+ Community Pride CIC's documentation about the parade, various things strike me. Pride in London have a code of conduct, which starts off by saying Our code of conduct is designed to ensure the Parade is a safe and accepting space for everyone.

CW: TERF crap There will be a fluffier post about London's Pride event, especially if I can find any images of the bi float, but once again they have managed to fuck up badly. In 2015, after having been dragged kicking and screaming into rightly refusing the racist UKIP a place in the parade, the organisers let them be part… Read more »

Not everyone likes the word 'bisexual' to cover people who are attracted to more than one gender. It has the word 'sexual' within it, for example, and not every bisexual person wants to be sexual with anyone, never mind with more than one gender. And all of that's fine! Having said that – top tip: if you are going to… Read more »
I met Nicole Henriksen at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2014 when I was the entire audience for a 'highlights of the Fringe' show where she was one of the six comedians. With that ratio, I ended up on the stage. Afterwards, I tried to see their solo shows. I liked Nicole's 2014 comedy, Rainbow Rabbits With Rabies and, the following… Read more »
It's Bisexual Visibility Day and this site wouldn't be Bifurious if it was a fluffy post, so I am going to complain about an aspect of the bisexual pride flag that will be making many appearances today. I suspect that everyone reading this knows what it looks like, but just in case, it's this: .. three bands of colour: pink,… Read more »
