“Is it just a phase?”… “Am I actually gay?”… “Do you like men or women more?”. Big Bi+ Questions (BBQ) looks to tackle the questions that bi+ people have heard a lot, or questions they’ve asked themselves! Why are these questions so common? How does it make us feel? How have we responded? Why can’t we sit in chairs properly? The hosts have a fun chat about the BBQ of the week with special guests and listener-submitted questions.

To celebrate the end of our first season, the entire Big Bi+ Questions crew got together to reminisce and look-back on the chats we had including the first appearance of the pun bell, the casts of movies and TV shows that we fell in love with, and what we should do with our bi+ stereotype research survey in our next season.

    Are you just doing this for attention?

    Are bi+ people really just doing it for attention? On this episode, our guest was L.A. based singer-songwriter Lucy & La Mer, whose music radiates self-love and joy while celebrating multi-gender attracted identity. Lucy let us know about her bi+ identity and activism, as well as her passion for creating music that makes people feel good. Together, we unpacked the harmful stereotype that bi+ people are just doing it for attention, exploring how it shows up differently across genders, how it impacts dating and relationships, and how we can avoid others placing this stereotype on us. Find out more about Lucy & La Mer and her music at listentolucy.com, on Instagram @lucyandlamer, and more at linktr.ee/lucyandlamer.

    How does bisexuality intersect with the intersex community?

    In recognition of Intersex Awareness Day on 26th October, the Big Bi+ Questions team had a big chat about how bisexuality intersects with the intersex community. We were so grateful to be joined by two wonderful guests: Training and Communications Co-Ordinator for Inter-Action, Margie McCumstie; and professional Intersex agitator and co host of JOY’s weekly Intersex show, The I In Us, Cody Smith. We got to know Margie and Cody a little better and discussed how they’ve navigated their identities and the intersections they exist in. Get to know more about the Intersex community at interaction.org.au and affirm the Darlington Statement at darlington.org.au.

    Can You Be a Gold Star Bi? (with Stephanie Dogfoot)

    This week on Big Bi+ Questions, we’re asking: Can you be a Gold Star Bi? We’re joined by Stephanie Dogfoot — poet, comedian, and cabaret performer bringing their hit Melbourne Fringe show Gold Star Bisexual to life. Together, we unpack where the idea of “gold stars” in queer culture comes from, what it says about validation and purity, and why bisexuality has always been a little too gloriously complicated to fit inside neat labels. Steph shares their story of growing up in Singapore, discovering bi+ identity, and turning that journey into comedy that’s as heartfelt as it is hilarious. We also talk about the bi+ experience across cultures, visibility, and how performance can turn personal identity into community connection. And she share her poem Dear 12 year old self! Hosts: Jase, Tamzyn, Raena, Mia, and Stevie Guest: @stephdogfoot — performing Gold Star Bisexual at Melbourne Fringe Connect with the Big Bi+ Questions team: Instagram: @bigbiquestions Email: bigbiquestions@joy.org.au Send us your messages, thoughts, or your own big bi+ question — we’d love to hear from you!
