It’s October, so that means in the U.K it’s Black History Month. http://www.blackhistorymonth.org.uk
Have a look at LGBT History website, and spot all the bi-erasue on it: http://www.lgbthistorymonth.org.uk/history/blackhistory.htm
I’m quite disappointed by the lack of LGBT+ content this month, but there are a few queer things happening.
LGBT Foundation in Manchester are celebrating http://lgbt.foundation/bhm
And you can always read about the experiences of Bisexual people of colour here: https://bisexualresearch.files.wordpress.com/2015/06/bis-of-colour-survey-report.pdf
What makes me particularly sad is that due to illness & clashes, there won’t be a Bi’s of Colour meetup this month. In Black History Month queer people are often ignored. In LGBT History Month, Black people are often ignored. LGBT People of Colour deserve better than this. Our lives matter too.
PS- Something I left off the illustration, but is important to know: Black Lives Matter OUTSIDE of United States too!
