What Progressives Are Getting Wrong About Bisexual Discrimination
Last year, at age 39, I sat in a room full of other bi people for the first time. For most of us, this space organized by the nonprofit Still Bisexual offered us a rare sense of belonging. We all understood the unique ways we have had to code switch to survive in a society not intended for us—a society built on binaries that demands that we fit into one of two molds that never quite feels right.
What’s the story behind the largest yet often most misunderstood segment of the LGBTQ+ community? How do we break down the barriers around attraction to multiple genders?
The bisexual and pansexual community represents a significant portion of the LGBTQ+ spectrum, yet their experiences are too often silenced. Break the silence with us as we welcome Nicole Kristal, founder of the Still Bi campaign, now a leading non-profit promoting visibility and community for this segment of the LGBTQ+ community. Join us to discover the unique challenges faced by this community and the crucial role allyship plays in fostering understanding and acceptance for all LGBTQ+ identities.

Bisexual Awareness Week (a.k.a. BiWeek) is upon us! BiWeek, which has been around for about 10 years, runs from September 16 to September 23 and ends with Celebrate Bisexuality Day, a holiday that’s 25 years old as of this year.
