Bisexual Visibility day/week/month/lifetime!

Bisexuals get a minuscule amount of funding because of Biphobia. LGBT+ organisations rarely provide anything specific for bisexuals because of Biphobia.The unique experiences of bisexuals are usually incorporated into LGBT+ reports and stats, but never separated by individual sexual orientation because of Biphobia.Black and POC charities for LGBT+ are terrible at welcoming bisexuals, providing resources for … Continue reading Bisexual Visibility day/week/month/lifetime!
Whose Black Lives Matter?

Whose Black Lives Matter?

Reposted from my personal blog    I was born in 1969, just as the UK switched from Imperial to the Metric system.  One half of my old family were stuck with inches, yards and shillings.  The other half of my family used millimetres and kilograms.  I was stuck exactly in the middle.
