"I was just like, wowthe animals are really gay. Like, they're really gay," she says. "But we need to be careful an how we talk about it." 'We can invisiblize bisexuality and in the animal kingdom,' he adds. "'A desire to find your connection to your ancestor is fine' But if you assume that any indication of homosexual behavior means that they are predominantly or exclusively homosexual, then you also erase by sexuality.'
Bisexuality is the world’s largest sexual minority but is potentially the least understood. In her new book, Bi: The Hidden Culture, History, and Science of Bisexuality, psychological scientist Dr Julia Shaw sets out to answer the questions and eliminate common misconceptions around bisexuality. Discussing the history of the B in LGBTQ+ and the myth of the bi gene, Julia is joined in conversation by our host Sharan Dhaliwal, author of Burning My Roti: Breaking Barriers as a Queer Indian Woman. If you'd like to explore more of the topics raised in today's discussion, check out Julia's own podcast, Bi People, a four part series made with Sofie Hagen.
