How do you show your bisexual pride? What cool bi items do you have? 

Don't really have as much pride stuff as I would like but I have three bracelets that are the colors of the flag. One I made, one was an AMAZING gift by one of my best friends, and the last one I bought. I also have a Pride poster (really just the colors of the flag with pride over them that's done in charcoal) that a friend made me. It's taped to an old unused computer monitor.

What type of bi activism have you been a part of? Do you blog? Speak? Produce bi-themed products?

I have a blog called bisexuals-united that I post some bisexual stuff I find here on tumblr on. I'm a member of my schools GSA and we do cool stuff with all the sexualities that I love helping in. I can make string bracelets but those usually just go to some of my friends.

What do you think you could do to encourage other bi people to show their bi pride?

I'd say have more bi-themed events around my community where you can meet and talk to people who have the same sexuality as you.

What could be done to further the positive representation of bisexuals within activist communities?

I've seen a lot of people say this but mostly more representation at events and even on TV, a lot of people see a character who's in a same-sex relationship and just assume they are homosexual or they are in a heterosexual relationship and people think they are straight. There's needs to be more people who say "Look, I'm with a girl yes, but I still find guys attractive and want to date them." the same goes with if they are dating a guy.

If you feel unsafe showing bi pride, what would help you feel more safe?

There's nothing that I really feel unsafe about besides some things I've heard about people going to pride events and not really being accepted.

Tell a nice story related bi activism - did you have a cool experience at a Pride event or con? Have you met activists who helped you in some way? Etc.

How do you show your bisexual pride? What cool bi items do you have? 

I have lots of Bi themed bracelets, a few tees and I am currently knitting a scarf. I'm gonna make loads of little things Bi Pride themed. I have a little Bi pride flag that I got at my first Pride Parade back in 2005.

I show my pride by being as open about who I am as I can and generally willing to answer any questions my friends ask about my sexuality.

What type of bi activism have you been a part of? Do you blog? Speak? Produce bi-themed products?

I help out when I can with the BiPride part of Pride parade. I do blog BiTalks topics and I occasionally have a bi related post about some personal thing or whatever but I don't exclusively biblog at all.

I make bi flag themed braclets and want to make more knitted things but at the moment the only people I give them to are my close friends, so I dunno if that counts.

What do you think you could do to encourage other bi people to show their bi pride?

I generally just try to be as open and easy to talk to as possible so that others feel comfortable to talk about their side of their sexuality.

I often talk to my other Bi friends about our experiences and thoughts.

What could be done to further the positive representation of bisexuals within activist communities?

I think that the positive representation of Bis could be forwarded withing activist communities by leaders and followers not stereotyping bisexuals who speak out, without the stereotypes I think they would be taken more seriously.

I remember my first pride parade, I had a little flag and one of my friends who came drew bi pride flags on my harms, but I was only 14 and really nervous because while I was 'out' I hadn't been around a large group of strangers who knew, and I had heard of all the abuse Bisexual often got at prides, but some woman must have seen how nervous I was because she took me and my friends to meet her group and told me her story and just generally made me really relaxed and within an hour or so I had forgotten any worries I had about the pride and was just enjoying the parade and the general atmosphere.
