Bisexuality Today: Understanding attitudes, protective factors, and risk factors for an often invisible sexual minority

LGBT+ issues have been heavily discussed in many countries, including the UK, particularly over the past few years. However, nuanced and inclusive discussion about bisexuality has often been absent from the larger conversation about sexuality, and this has resulted in the continued invisibility and stereotyping of the bisexual community. Building on existing research on bisexuality which shows high rates of bi-phobia, bi-erasure, and elevated problems with mental and physical health, the proposed research seeks to investigate current bisexual, pansexual, and other plurisexual (collectively known as "bi+") experiences and attitudes.
