We are very pleased to welcome Lois Shearing to Housmans to discuss bisexuality in celebration of Bi Visibility Day.

Whether you are openly bisexual, still figuring things out or just interested in learning more about bisexuality, Bi the Way is your essential guide to understanding and embracing bisexuality. With first-hand accounts from bi advocates, it includes practical tips and guidance on topics including dating, sex, biphobia, bi-erasure, coming out, activism and gender identity, demystifying a community that is often erased or overlooked.

Rallying, honest and powerfully written, this is a manifesto for bisexual people everywhere.
