Bisexuals in Sports: On the Field, Off the Radar

Sport is supposed to bring people together—but for many bisexual athletes and fans, it has often been a hostile or invisible space. Whether it’s growing up in locker rooms where being queer felt unsafe or seeing top athletes afraid to come out, bi+ people face unique challenges in the world of sports.

So today, we’re tackling bi+ representation in sport—the triumphs, struggles, and moments of erasure that define the experience of bisexual athletes at every level.

• 🎤 Why does the conversation always focus on ‘gay athletes’ instead of asking, ‘Where are the bi ones?’
• 🏟 What impact does biphobia have on mainstream and local sports?
• 💪 Who are the bi+ athletes breaking barriers—and why don’t we hear more about them?

Plus, we break down Jeff Molina’s forced coming out in the UFC, the biphobia in the AFL and other mainstream leagues, and the inclusive spaces that are changing the game for bi+ athletes.
