Almost 500,000 people in Canada identify as bisexual, according to official data from Statistics Canada.

However, although a growing portion of the Canadian population identifies as bisexual, those who come out as such are still met with denial, or their identities are questioned. This phenomenon is referred to as bisexual erasure.

One example of this is when a bisexual person is said to be “experimenting,” or transitioning to gay or lesbian, as described by 2SLGBTQQIA+ organizations, like GLAAD or Pflag.

Global News’ Alyssa Julie explains what bisexual erasure is and how it can affect the mental health of those impacted.
