Bisexual people report poorer wellbeing than those of other sexualities

Being bisexual 'is bad for your health': People with male and female partners report poorer wellbeing than those of other sexualities

  • People of different sexualities were asked to rate their health by experts
  • Some 19.5% of bisexual men and 18.5% of bisexual women rated their health as 'poor or fair,' the highest proportion among all the groups polled
  • Were also disproportionately disadvantaged on factors linked with health 
  • Health of bisexual adults differs substantially from other minorities and should be studied individually, experts concluded

Are they more likely to be left-handed and go on beach holidays?

Such nonsense. How else should we break the data down? How about those under 5 feet tall compared to those over 6 feet? In other words, it's utter nonsense.

How will this effect their offspring? DM, please ask researchers at Edinburgh U if the children of bisexual couples will be taller and brighter, or shorter and dimmer, or will it be 50/50?

One thing that surprised me, having a few friends on the gay scene, is that many don't accept bisexuals. There are whispers about being on the fence, unauthentic, that old cliche, "greedy" - some gay people are judgemental too. It's unrealistic to assume the "scene" is going to be all embracing, moonbeams and rainbows. The same applies to a friend of mine who is TV - some TS girls feel TVs aren't authentic or are lacking courage in some way. Maybe this lack of acceptance has a part to play.
