Two years ago, in March 2022, Visible Bi+ launched as a volunteer project to create a new space for members of the Bi+/MSpec community to share their voices in an effort to increase authentic visibility and dispel the many misconceptions which fuel biphobia and bi-erasure.

The stories we’ve shared over the past two years have served to not only raise awareness outside the community but also offer connection within the community, helping others to feel less alone.

Our sincere gratitude to every one of you — who read our stories, share our links, like our posts, and hit the follow buttons — for helping our publication grow, and an extra special thanks to the wonderful bi+ folx who share their stories with us.

We’re looking forward to amplifying many more Bi+/MSpec voices as we continue to grow. Learn how to share your story on Visible Bi+ by visiting the “SHARE YOUR STORY” tab on our homepage.
