- One of the fascinating experiments described shows that disclosing a bisexual identity in a job application is considered less "appropriate" than disclosing a gay identity, with adverse consequences for hiring prospects and starting salary. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
- When someone discloses they're gay, people may think: "Wow, respect that they're out and proud!", but when someone discloses they're bi, people may think: "Why are they talking about their private sex life?" This shows the importance of promoting bi visibility🌈
