Bisexual erasure, also called bisexual invisibility, is the tendency to ignore, remove, falsify, or re-explain evidence of bisexuality in history, academia, the news media, and other primary sources.
The lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBTQ) community in San Francisco is one of the largest and most prominent LGBT communities in the United States, and is one of the most important in the history of American LGBT rights and activism alongside New York City. The city itself has been described as "the original 'gay-friendly city'". LGBT culture is also active within companies that are based in Silicon Valley, which is located within the southern San Francisco Bay Area.
...bisexual Hot Babe Asia Agcaoili's latest line of erotic toys,...
I have a huge LGBT audience, and I'm bisexual – but when you see me, if I don't tell you I'm bisexual, I don't have the physical representation of the LGBT (community).
Occasionally Baburi came to me, but I was so bashful that I could not look him in the face, much less converse freely with him. [...] One day, during this time of infatuation, a group was accompanying me down a lane, and all at once I found myself face-to-face with the boy. I was so ashamed I almost went to pieces. [...] These lines by Muhammad Salih came to my mind: "I am embarrassed every time I see my beloved. My companions are looking at me, but my gaze is elsewhere"
I feel like I also represent the LGBTQ+ community because I'm bisexual.
