BiCupid, the world’s largest dating and social community for bisexual singles and couples, has released the results of a survey that sheds light on the challenges bisexual people face in mainstream media. The findings reveal that stereotypes and misconceptions continue to plague the representation of bisexuals, prompting calls for more accurate and inclusive portrayals.
The survey, conducted among 684 BiCupid users, revealed that nearly 38% of respondents rarely encounter authentic representations of bisexual individuals in mainstream media. Additionally, 17% reported frequently seeing negative portrayals, which further reinforce harmful stereotypes and diminish the sense of identity and belonging within the bisexual community.
Despite some progress in recent years, the survey highlights a significant gap in the visibility and authenticity of bisexual representation. Many participants identified social norms and cultural biases as key barriers. Respondents expressed optimism that improved media representation could foster greater understanding, acceptance, and inclusion for bisexual individuals.
BiCupid is committed to addressing these challenges by amplifying bisexual visibility, providing a safe and supportive platform, and fostering community cohesion. “Our mission is to create a dedicated space where bisexual individuals feel valued, understood, and supported. At the same time, we aim to spark broader societal progress by encouraging inclusivity and understanding.” Stated Dani Johnson, a spokesperson of BiCupid.
BiCupid calls on mainstream media to listen to and amplify the authentic voices of the bisexual community. By adopting more inclusive narratives, the media can play a pivotal role in promoting understanding and combating prejudice. Additionally, BiCupid encourages bisexual individuals to join its platform, where they can connect with like-minded individuals and contribute to building a world that celebrates diversity and equality.
