The San Francisco Human Rights Commission unanimously adopted a groundbreaking report examining the consequences of rendering bisexuals "invisible" at its meeting last week.

The report, which bi community members applauded, is believed to be the first of its kind.

"I'm so excited and relieved. It's been such a long time coming. I had a good sense that it would pass, but to not have it even be a question? At the end I'm just so grateful to be a part of it," said Lindasusan Ulrich, author of the report, entitled, "Bisexual Invisibility: Impacts and Recommendations."

speaking as a union LGBT rep I'm keen to promote bisexuality as an equally valid sexuality as heterosexuality and homosexuality and this report is both good in that it highlights the problem but also daunting as it shows there's still a long way to go
