Bi Social Network Launches Yearlong Campaign on Bi-visibility, To Stop bi-phobia and bi-erasure
Chicago, IL , September 3, 2010—Bi Social Network is proud to announce our year long Bi-Visibility Campaign, to promote positive role models of bisexuals in opposite and same-sex partnerships and individual lives throughout the spectrum of our demographics. Bi Social Network and our allies will expose biphobia and intolerance in the straight, gay, lesbian and other communities who see “coming out bisexual’ as a crime, a joke, not real or screaming for attention.
The bisexual community has seen, particularly in the last several years a growing use of hate language within our own communities—from online web communities, to local businesses, to public celebrities, community activist and national platforms. We have equally seen a bi-erasure effect in major LGBT publications, in film, politics and celebrities who have gone back into the bisexual closet for fear of being “needy, greedy and liars with their peers.
Goals and Phases
This campaign will exposure, uplift, enrage, empower and affect millions of bisexuals and our allies that want to stand up and be apart of a great BLGT community. We are in fact on a strong mission to make known biphobia and bi-erasure with stories, words, discussions, radio podcasts, news, interviews, images and imagination.
- Phase 1: We will start with several phases throughout the year. The first phase will be using imagery in the form of photography.
- Phase 2: We will move into the social media on our show Bi Talk Radio, Facebook, Twitter and mobile podcasting throughout this process.
- Phase 3: We will move into learning about each other lives, by way of news and interviews via printed media.
- Phase 4: We will move into the media of motion storytelling. Personal stories of bisexuals throughout the nation; locally, nationally and internationally with video.
This movement is for the famous and for the non famous. For the young and for the old; for the locally bisexual and for others who are far way. There are no limits to this campaign. Your passion to tell your story is all your need.
To learn more, please contact us if you want to participate, educate, sponsor or interview us.
