A pink silhouette of a woman has her arms around a black silhouette of a man. The man is touching both the woman and a grey silhouette of another man, standing behind him. The text at the bottom reads “BIDEOLOGY.” “BI” is in pink and “DEOLOGY” is in black. The first “O” is the Mars symbol, and the second “O” is the Venus symbol. Straight women: would you ever date a bisexual man? Do you think that bisexual men are more likely to spread STDs than straight men? Do you think that bisexual men are more feminine than straight men? These questions have preoccupied writer and filmmaker Arielle Loren’s work for the last few years. After falling in love with a bisexual man, Loren developed The Bi-deology Project, a two-part web series exploring straight women’s perceptions of bisexual men, particularly in the context of romantic relationships. The series has since inspired a feature-length documentary, Bideology, which will be premiering at film festivals this spring.
