Comparing perceived experiences of prejudice among self-identified plurisexual individuals

Identities and Identifications: Changes in Metropolitan Bisexual Men's Attitudes and Experiences

“…The aim of qualitative research is not to make generalizations, and our sample is limited in several ways. First, the manner of recruiting bi-identified individuals means that we will not have recruited all types of people with non-binary sexual identities, which will influence our findings related to experiences of social and sexual identity (Callis, 2014;Mitchell et al, 2014). Similarly, the characteristics of our sample in terms of its location, urban nature and public manner of participant recruitment will also influence who participated and the nature of our findings.…”

Under the Bisexual Umbrella: Diversity of Identity and Experience

“…In these cases, it potentially makes sense for our different subcommunities under the umbrella to band together and advocate for recognition and inclusion of non-monosexual people. The finding that so many of us simultaneously embody multiple umbrella identities, such as bisexual and queer, further supports this union (Mitchell, Davis, & Galupo, 2015).…”

“…And, the umbrella covers people who explicitly do not identify as bisexual but elect to be considered under the umbrella; and the umbrella is held over other individuals whose behaviors or attractions may align with the umbrella, but they do not consider themselves as a part of this group. People under the umbrella are also more likely to identify with more than one sexual identity label (Mitchell et al, 2015). Further, people under the umbrella embody so many other identities beyond sexuality, including but not limited to race, gender, ability, religion, and class, that affect their experience and equitable inclusion under the umbrella.…”
