  Jen Yockney

  Editor
  Bi Community News

  Talk to me about bi inclusion in your LGBT network! Experienced grassroots bisexual community activist. As well as policy work and research, I've done at least several hours volunteering with bi projects every month since the early 1990s. That includes -- Editor at BCN, the UK's print magazine for bi+ people which celebrated its 25th birthday in the summer of 2020. https://www.bicommunitynews.co.uk/subscribe/ -- Chairing BiPhoria, the UK's oldest social/support organisation for bisexual people. https://www.biphoria.org.uk/ -- Originating Author of The Bisexuality Report, bringing together research about how things are different for bis in the UK https://www.bimedia.org/bireport/ -- and more than 20,000 copies of my 'coming out and staying out' guide, "Getting Bi In A Gay-Straight World", have found homes. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Getting-Bi-Gay-Straight-World-ebook/dp/B08JB44VTK/ ------- All this meant that I received an MBE in the Queen's 90th Birthday Honours in 2016 for "Services To The Bisexual Community" which was also the first time the title Mx appeared in the Honours List.
