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

Sexuality, Society & Culture

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
