A psychotherapist told a woman that because she's bisexual, it was her fault she had been raped.

This is just one out of the many bisexual respondents to a survey that has found over a third have been sexually harassed or assaulted because of their sexuality.

A new report, launched by Scottish LGBTI charity Equality Network, has suggested that bisexuals are likely to be harassed on the assumption they are 'promiscuous' or 'unfaithful'.

38% of the 515 people survey said they had experienced sexual harassment, while nearly half had experienced biphobia will accessing mainstream services across the UK.
