Description
Bisexuality is the world’s largest sexual minority but the least understood. Join Dr Julia Shaw, psychological scientist and bestselling author of Making Evil and co-host of BBC podcast Bad People to learn more. Significant strides have been made in recent years in the movement for LGBTQ+ rights, visibility and empowerment, but the conversation is far from over. After years of feeling the crushing dearth of information on bisexuality, Shaw dug deep and found a colorful and fascinating world that she is now bringing out of the shadows in her new book Bi: The Hidden Culture, History and Science of Bisexuality. It is a personal journey that starts with her own openly bisexual identity, and celebrates the resilience and beautiful diversity of the bi community. From the hunt for a bi gene, to the relationship between bisexuality and consensual non-monogamy, to asylum seekers who need to prove their bisexuality in a court of law, there is more to explore than most have ever realized. This rigorous and fun investigation challenges us to think deeper about who we are and how we love.
