This article presents the findings of several recent Stonewall reports that have cumulatively built up a wide-ranging picture of bisexual experience in Britain today. Nearly all of these findings highlight the relative invisibility of bisexuality in contemporary society. This invisibility is fuelled by high levels of biphobia, yet it may also reflect the ambivalence some bisexual people feel toward bisexuality as an identity. Ultimately, these findings suggest that many bisexual people are faced with a difficult choice between the social marginalization that results from invisibility, and subscription to a crude system of sexual categorization that they would rather reject.
