Bisexual people have gone on for too long with underrepresentation and negative stigmas, and it’s time for the Broadway community to change that situation for the better.

I realize now that my struggle to write something for bisexuality visibility week was a symptom of a much larger frustrations.

As I grew up, saw Wicked a few more times on tour, and realized I was queer, I also came to realize that maybe, just maybe, Elphaba was queer too – if not just an emerald-skinned metaphor for queerness.

So much of what I have experienced of bisexuality in theatre is in its use as a buzzword. It's better than stereotypes, sure, but it seems like the word gets tossed around for the sake of being able to tout a bisexual character.  

In continuation of bisexual visibility week, I chatted with (Off-)Broadway’s Best Bicon Natalie Walker about her experience being bisexual.

I wasn’t always the out and proud bisexual woman I am now. Today, I’d like to take you on my journey to self-acceptance.
