But it takes just one extraordinary character to do just that. Then everyone one embraces and accepts. As writers it is up to us to come up with that character. What cannot be achieved ironically with real life characters, is possible through the power of fiction.

It is all-too-familiar (being a bisexual woman from the middle-of-nowhere Pennsylvania myself). As I seek representation for my MS, I find myself questioning how others will accept my characters’ various sexualities (hetero-/homo-/bi-sexual, as well as ace). Please continue to be an advocate for all of us #ownvoices writers pushing for bi inclusion!

My first pubbed book in 2011 had a bisexual male MC, and it was a damned hard sell. I’m crossing my fingers we start seeing a rise in representation over the next several years.
