What LGBTQ+ topic do you wish more people knew about? This could be a queer icon, a piece of history, knowledge about certain labels, specific philosophy topics (or notable philosopher), art, or anything else. Also if there are topics that you wish specific sub populations had greater access to or knowledge of, feel free to qualify (for example, you might wish there was greater knowledge about a specific cultural gender to all cultures which don’t have exposure to this gender, or a desire for your local gay community to be more educated on a topic important to you).

    Bi people are all around you we mostly just pass as strait and are encouraged to remain invisible by identifying as straight or as gay by the straight and gay friend groups we know.

      Oh no, it’s terrible that you wouldn’t get executed in over 70 countries because you can actually like the opposite sex… Really a horrible thing to happen to you… What a poor group of marginalized people you are. I’m sending thoughts and prayers for sure.

        This is not the oppression Olympics and I really do not appreciate the infighting nor the bisexual erasure. I’m giving you a temp ban to cool off.

        Fucking Christ, multiple people opening up about how they feel shunned by the very queer community that’s supposed to accept them because they’re bisexual, and here you are shunning and silencing queer people.

        Are you this much of a flaming bag of dog shit to everyone in your life?

          Nope. Twisting reality into your own distorted fantasy doesn’t change anything. What they were doing was playing the victim, as the bi’s always do, when gays, lesbians, and trans people are literally burned to death, stoned, executed, generally persecuted, etc. in many parts of the world, where bi’s can just walk freely.

          You’re the one who’s shunning people by playing up what they’re saying. It’s literally false.

            … They can littetally not walk “freely”. If they show interest in the wrong person they are stoned and burned exactly the same. Gay/Lesbians can also escape prosecution, they just have to hide who they are. Same as the BI person. Bi means beeing attracted to male and female and they have to surpress and hide that attraction or face persecution. That is not free.

            A straight person how is persecuted for being attracted to anyone not called John/Jane isnt free just because there is someone they are allowed to be attracted to legally.
