First Bi Awareness Training

Recently I gave my first Bisexuality Awareness Talk to a County Council LGBT Network group. I was a little nervous as I’ve never done one before; normally I delegate all training to @unchartedworlds! However everything went fine and it turned out to be the perfect starting point for a newbie. There were only a handful of people there and everyone was very … Continue reading First Bi Awareness Training →

I attended the Independent on Sunday’s Rainbow List…

I attended the Independent on Sunday’s Rainbow List http://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/therainbowlist/rainbow-list-2015-1-to-101-a6731391.html ceremony on Monday 16th November 2015, as one of only a handful of bisexual people on the list. It was great to meet some of the other people who were on the list. Sabah Choudhury, Riley Carter Millington, Rose from Black Pride, and CN Lester were all amazing and super friendly. But a chance conversation with an attendee made me realise that he was none other than Tom Robinson, the singer-songwriter-icon! I’ve been a fan of Tom’s work since I was a teenager. The tune, Atmospherics (Listen to the radio) always reminds me of an unrequited love that made me yearn to be close to someone, anyone who would treat me with kindness and affection. Growing up as I did in such an abusive and violent environment made any thoughts of being treated well seem like an impossible dream. Meeting Tom Robinson was so great: he gave me a hug, and it almost made me cry!

The ceremony involved a lot of people drinking gallons of champagne and vodka; I had the choice of orange juice or water… The speech was quite encouraging, there were plenty of photo opportunities, but apart from that, it felt a bit strange. I’m still very happy I attended with Katy from Purple Prose and the Bisexual Index. And meeting Tom Robinson was so special too.

Thanks once again for everyone who nominated me. I am so happy to have been included on the Rainbow List!
