Summary of Meg-John Barker & Alex Iantaffi's Life Isn't Binary - E-book - ePub

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Sexuality is the area where the gay/straight binary is most challenged, and yet it still persists. People still tend to stick to the gay/straight binary, and non-binary sexuality is often ignored or erased. #2 Representations of bisexuality have been changing over the last few years. In music, for example, Janelle Monáe, a contemporary queer and Black icon, used what has been termed bisexual lighting in her video for Make Me Feel. #3 The bisexual lighting meme indicates how thirsty people are for openly bisexual representation.
However, bisexual people are often invisible in dominant cultural contexts. #4 Bisexuality is still not widely accepted in society, and is often associated with immaturity and experimentation. People also believe that it is unreasonable to want something beyond the binary of gay or straight.
