Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

On the flip-side, their adjacency to queerness have made them outcasts throughout history amongst the straight community. Ultimately however, bisexuality represents the queer ideal of complicating traditional perceptions of how sexuality is expected to exist, allowing for a person to love whomever they love regardless of societal expectations placed on them. Bisexuality is defined as the experience of loving both, people of the same gender, and people of different genders. Another similar but different sexuality, pansexuality, describes the experience of loving people in spite of their gender. Both Bi- and Pan- sexuality can include trans and nonbinary people, depending on the person. More info
