بخشی از متن:Abstract
Purpose – The Italian sociological scientific community has shown a limited interest in issues related to
bisexuality. The purpose of this paper is to fill the knowledge gap on the subject, showing data of an empirical
research conducted online on the Italian bisexual community.
Design/methodology/approach – The article is based on a mixed methods online survey on Italian bisexual
people, which included 218 interviews. The questionnaire was made up of closed and open-ended questions, to
investigate their behaviours, habits and lifestyles.
Findings – Social pressure and lack of understanding by others sometimes make difficult for bisexual people
to show themselves openly for what they are, especially in some contexts, such as the word of work. From a
sociological point of view, one can argue that one of the tools when bisexual people face the stigma related to
bisexuality is to control, often in an obsessive way, the information they provide about themselves, carefully
evaluating the contexts in which they can free themselves and the time when they must expose themselves in
line with the expectations of the heteronormative society.
Research limitations/implications – The non-probabilistic sample limits the external validity of the
findings. There are also critical elements that characterise social research when transposed online: first, the
profiles of the respondents not always are verifiable; second, the digital divide excludes some groups that
cannot access the web or involves an over-representation of those who are more familiar with technologies.
Originality/value – The work presented is the first Italian sociological study aimed at deepening the
“invisible B” phenomenon of the LGBT acronym in a systematic way. Nowadays bisexuality remains underresearched
in social sciences and overall in sociology. Putting “bisexuality” at the centre of the sociological
attention appears important to provide serious and scientifically valid data and information useful both to
develop the knowledge on this identity category and to contain forms of discrimination and prejudice.
