Tuning in on the last Tuesday of the month, you may be surprised to hear the lovely sound of Ruby’s voice, rather than the lovely tones of Jenifer. Do not fear, you’ve just stumbled into a special edition of The Representation Hour!
This week, Ruby is talking about some of their Bisexual icons and heroes who hold special places in their heart because of the feelings and support they inspire. These include fictional characters from television, movies and comic books, as well as real people in the world doing amazing work with Bisexual representation. Hope you enjoy!

The Representation Hour! Comics To Camera, with Rafif Ismail!

Louis — Fri, 31 Aug 2018 22:30:33 +0000

Described as a “Doozy” by our very own Jenifer, this week, we’re bringing you a discussion on what happens when Bi+ characters make the transition from comic books to film or television!

In the studio alongside Jenifer is award winning writer Rafif Ismail! Rafif is also an activist and advocate with years of experiences in community services with culturally and linguistically diverse communities working to create accessible spaces for marginalized youth.

Expect a LONG discussion on Valkyrie’s move from comic book to her portrayal by Bi actor Tessa Thompson Thor: Ragnarok, Deadpool, Wonder Woman and sooooo much more. Alongside these, Rafif and Jenifer also talk about queer representations in comics and film, coding as queer and the ways that Bi+ characters are too often erased.

The Representation Hour! Bisexual Headcannons And Why All Our Favorites Are Queer

Louis — Mon, 02 Jul 2018 06:44:45 +0000

All of your favorite fictional characters are queer and there is nothing you can say to change our minds! We’re so excited to have Jenifer back in the studio for another amazing edition of The Representation Hour! This week, Jen is talking about Bisexual and multi-gender attracted headcannons! Too often have we been subjected to uncomfortably cishet characters being shoehorned into our queer ideals. No more!

So much of queer culture is reliant on these amazing queer reading and interpretation of media, text and content, and we really don’t need a character’s sexuality or gender to be canonized in order to identify, empathize and connect with them. So tonight, Jen takes us thorough some of their favorite headcannons! These include Macbeth’s Banquo as a “enoumous swinging bisexual sex pest” (dont @ us), Lyra Belacqua, James from Pokemon’s Team Rocket, Luke Cage, Metallica’s Kirk Hammet, multiple Resident Evil characters, Dean Winchester and our T.V faves, Mulder and Scully as well as many more! Send us some of your headcannons, we’d love to hear what you think!

Also here’s some more queer X-Files content because let’s be honest you need this in your life

Refugee Advocacy, Activism and Bisexuality with Special Guest Penny Wilson!

Louis — Fri, 22 Jun 2018 01:00:44 +0000

Ruby and James are HERE to once more, give you all of that sweet sweet multi gender attracted content that we all love so much. We have a super amazing guest today who we’re really excited to come and talk to us!
First of all is the Bi news, with a new US based study backing up data that suggests that multi gender attracted people are the most numerous queer demographic. We also talk about some of the queer content that’s been coming out of E3 in America, with some exciting queer protagonists in video games, including The Last of Us 2 and Assassins Creed: Odyssey (We’re nerds, sue us).

We then talk to our amazing guest Penny Wilson! Penny is a bisexual identifying writer and creative. In her work, she bounces between freelance jobs in writing for publications about love, sexuality and mental health and consulting small businesses on their digital marketing. When she’s not working, you’ll find her curled up on a couch with her latest sewing or knitting project or out with friends sharing shit YouTube videos, a couple of beers and good times. She is incredibly passionate about working towards a society that is inclusive, supportive and empathetic to all people. She loves people who are kind, friendly cats, hoarding plants and getting lost in a book. She hates the illegal detainment of asylum seekers in offshore prisons, the patriarchy and people who play their music out loud on public transport.

Penny is also a refugee advocate and activist working on community projects like Tamil Feasts – a social enterprise supporting recently settled asylum seekers through the celebration of food and culture. Serving up traditional Sri Lankan fare prepared by four Tamil men currently seeking asylum in Australia, three nights a week. Check out their page here, it’s an amazing initiative that deserves all of our support <3

Also please consider making a donation to the Asylum Seeker Resource Center, an absolutly incredible organisation. You can find their page here
