• Bullying Explains Only Part of LGBTQ–Heterosexual Risk Disparities (2012, background): “…these patterns, “biphobia”—prejudice against bisexuals exhibited by both heterosexual and lesbian/gay communities (Bennett, 1992)—may lead some bisexual-identified youth to experience a “double discrimination” from both their heterosexual and lesbian/gay peers (Mulick & Wright, 2002; Ochs, 1996).”
• Sexual fluidity in young adult women and men: associations with sexual orientation and sexual identity development (2015, background): “…discrimination, both within sexual minority communities and within the larger society, is a common experience among bisexual people, especially men (Mulick & Wright, 2002; Ochs, 1996); and biphobia, defined as negative attitudes about bisexuality and bisexual people (Bennett, 1992), is common…”
• Negative identity experiences of bisexual and other non-monosexual people: A qualitative report (2016, background): “For example, research on attitudes about bisexual people has been conducted with both heterosexual and gay/lesbian populations, but rarely with bisexual people (Eliason, 1997; Herek, 2002; Israel & Mohr, 2004; Mulick & Wright, 2002; Yost & Thomas, 2012).”
• Comparing perceived experiences of prejudice among self-identified plurisexual individuals (2015, background): “The extant literature suggests that bisexual individuals may be subject to unique forms of prejudice within both heterosexual and lesbian/gay communities (Mulick & Wright, 2002; Weiss, 2003).”
