Double Booked by Lily Lindon
The article discusses the author's personal journey of coming to terms with their bisexuality while being in a long-term relationship with a man. It addresses the challenges of bi erasure and the struggle to be seen as bisexual rather than being defined by one's partner's identity. The author, who has written a novel called 'Double Booked', explores the idea of being visibly bisexual and offers suggestions on how to affirm one's queer identity within a 'straight' relationship. These include engaging in queer culture, spending time with queer friends, attending queer spaces, expressing oneself through clothing, activism, queering other activities, and being open about open relationships. The article also highlights the positives of being queer in a straight-presenting relationship, such as less pressure to conform and the opportunity to educate each other on LGBTQ+ issues.
