	What Does Biphobia Look Like? (Bisexual Resource Center Pamphlet)
		Bisexual women and men cannot be defined by their partner or potential partner, so are rendered invisible within the either/or heterosexist framework.
		This invisibility (biphobia) is one of the most challenging aspects of a bisexual identity.
		Living in a society that is based and thrives on opposition, on the reassurances and "balanced" polarities of dichotomy affects how we see the world, and how we negotiate our own, and other peoples lives to fit "reality."

	Biphobia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Biphobia is the fear of, discrimination against, or hatred of bisexuals.
		It need not include homophobia or heterophobia, because there are stereotypes that are specific to bisexuals.
		It is fair to note many anti-bisexuals are also anti-homosexual, while maintaining there are only heterosexual and homosexual as sexual preferences, and a common stereotype is that female bisexuals are attention seeking heterosexuals, while male ones are just homosexual.

	biphobia
		I categorise this as biphobia because it constructs bisexuality as transitional, a delusion, cowardice, or as untrustworthy, rather than a legitimate sexuality.
		It is the biphobia which I think a lot of us in the queer community carry around very quietly inside our heads, influencing decisions we make about both sexual activity and identity.
		I view biphobia, and the constraints it places on the expression of desire, as a manifestation of sex negativity.

	Monosexuality - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		If the term is used in a non-exclusive sense the proportion would be lower and many people think that Kinsey's figure is too low, saying that no-one is exclusively monosexual, and that the 90 to 95% testing as such were just in denial or closeted because of biphobia (see: Homosexuality#Humans are all bisexual).
		Freud thought that no one was born monosexual and that it had to be taught by parents or society though most people appear to believe that monosexuals are in fact the majority and identify as such.
		Fred Maus (2004, p.164) compares the criticism of Béla Bartók's works for their use of tonality and nontonal methods unique to each piece to the bias towards monosexuality and against bisexuality (see biphobia).

		The purpose of this sixth lesson in the unit is to introduce the education student to the mental models, concepts and constructs known as Homosexuality, heterosexism, homophobia and biphobia.
		In sexism, heterosexism, biphobia and homophobia, the establishment of arbitrary, dichotomous and mutually exclusive gender roles, with the masculine gender role being considered superior provides the basis for the control of those who deviate from, who fall out of rigid gender envelopes.
		Biphobia is the fear of the other and fear of the space between our categories.

	The Other Side forums - suitable for mature readers! -> "homophobia" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		There are things in there that are more matters for equal rights activists to address, rather than being things that put bisexuals in danger on the street (as is the case with the colloquial use of 'homophobia';).
		Biphobia can do too, but it is more an issue of understanding and attitudes.
		It's made worse when some of the people that show the least understanding are people from the gay community, who would be expected to at least appreciate some of the difficulties that are faced by those of a minority sexuality, rather than adding to the prejudice.

		As far as the terms "biphobia" and "heterophobia"...they are invalid because nonexistant.
		Whatever disgust a gay person shows towards bi's and straights is founded on truth, not illusion...and homophobia possesses such extensive dimensions of hatred, violence, and ignorance...that to even accuse a gay person of either biphobia or heterophobia is in itself a homophobic manipulation.
		If heterophobia (or biphobia) were real, we'd have roving gangs of queers bashing straights (or bi's), queer property owners evicting them, and queer employers firing them.

	Blogger: Email Post to a Friend (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Perceived social support from friends only was predictive of internalized biphobia, whereas family support had no influence.
		In other words, I thought that it was important to measure the amount of support that one feels is directly related to their sexual orientation to see if it adds to the prediction of depression, internalized biphobia, and overall life satisfaction.
		After accounting for general support perceptions, internalized biphobia was the only outcome variable that was predicted significantly by both friend and family support.

		To accuse a gay person of heterophobia (or biphobia), is like accusing a concentration camp survivor of Naziphobia.
		Beware, gay people: any bisexual who insists that biphobia is real, is homophobic, and should not be trusted, ever.

		Biphobia keeps oppression alive by refusing to accept the range of human sexuality, and by separating bi people from other queers it stops us forming a powerful coalition against heterosexism and patriarchy.

		For Brenda Blasingame, ``Biphobia emerges from the belief in the dichotomy of gay and straight, with no in-between.
		Therefore bisexuals are not seen as part of the gay community but apart from the community.'' Gabriel Rotello's alarmed comment that bis challenge ``the most cherished assumption of the lesbian and gay movement: that it's by and for homosexuals'' is an illustration.
		Amanda Udis-Kessler sees biphobia as part of a deeper identity crisis: ``Lesbians and gay men have been able to define themselves as other than heterosexual; bisexuals challenge that definition regardless of our intention to do so.

	Comments on: Biphobia in the GLBT community from a bi man’s point of view
		As a bi woman I have no problem with a woman saying that she doesn't want to go out with me because she only dates dykes, and I never did.
		Granted, I recognize it is entirely unfair of me not to give someone a “chance,” regardless of her sexual identity — and I do recognize this as a form of biphobia — but it’s _my_ preference.
		Trust me, the biphobia in the lesbian community is very easy to fall into and not see as well.

		Although there was a high degree of correlation between biphobia and homophobia, negative attitudes about bisexuals, men in particular, were more prevalent than negative attitudes about lesbians or gay men.
		Biphobia and homophobia should be considered related, but distinct, phenomena.

	Biphobia: It Goes More Than Two Ways (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Of special importance to the discussion of biphobia are two of these characteristics: aggression and blame directed at one’s own group; and prejudice and discrimination directed against other minorities.
		If the hierarchy topples, not only will some members of the “heterosexual” majority have to grapple with the disowned elements of their own sexual and affectional desires, but they also lose the superior status implied by occupying the valued position within the dualistic hierarchy.
		Biphobia directed at bisexuals by gay men and lesbians is complex and has its roots in the dynamics of oppression and the particular historical context affecting the growth and development of gay, lesbian, and bisexual communities in the United States.

		General topics covered in the training include: documenting the continuum of sexual violence; context of homophobia, biphobia, and heterosexism; issues of societal and community denial; survivor responses; emotional impact of the violence; legal heterosexism; agency program needs; outreach; and social change issues.
		It is my hope that by writing this book survivors will have their experiences validated, agencies will alter their programs and outreach, laws will be challenged, and the absolute need to end homophobia, biphobia, transphobia, and heterosexism will be incorporated into our social change work as we seek social justice for everyone.
		We have reviewed the language we use in our materials and made some important changes, and we are reviewing our services as well....The training you did the week before for our volunteer advocates filled a gap in their knowledge and understanding about who perpetrators are and how survivors respond....Thank you again for all you do.

		Based on my experiences conducting research and educating on bisexuality in academic and community settings, I will describe how biphobia manifests itself in both mainstream and gay/lesbian communities and discourses and identify some ways of challenging it.
		Ideas for working together within the queer community to challenge biphobia and include bisexuals in meaningful ways will also be discussed.
