Bi Community News (commonly shortened to BCN) is a bimonthly magazine,[1][2] and the United Kingdom's only magazine serving the bisexual population. It is published bimonthly and includes many articles reflecting bisexual life and media representation as well as news from the bisexual community.

Resulting from a workshop at the UK BiCon in 1995, it started as a zine moving to being a full-colour glossy magazine around 2010. It has been consistently published since October 1995.[3] The current editor is Jen Yockney MBE.[4][5]

Previous UK bisexual journals were BiFrost (1991–1995)[6] and Bi Monthly in the 1980s.
