We are a strong ally, now + forever 💪
We will not tolerate any hate on oūr platform.
We have set up a fundraiser for the please give what ū can 🙏
Today we hear from and we thank you Ruby for sharing yoūr voice with ūs:
I was very lucky growing up. I had two very loving, le***an mamas who were there for me through thick and thin. I had a wonderful brother, and I grew up knowing it was okay to be different in my LGBTQIA family. I am now able to be an out and proud bisexual woman, but it hasn't always been that way.
Unfortunately, there is still a huge prevalence of biphobia, even within the LGBTQIA community. Even by those who would say that they would never be homophobic!
Being bi is a constant struggle of asking yourself if you're bi enough, if you're straight enough, if you'll be accepted, do people even believe you are a part of the community.
There are many ill judged jokes about being greedy, not existing, having passing privilege that may seem harmless, but may have your peer up at night struggling to feel accepted and filled with anxiety about their identity.
This pride month ask yourself, have you talked to your LGBTQIA friends and family about how they are feeling? If not, just ask! This month is more than buying something with a rainbow on it. Support LGBTQIA charities, businesses and friends and be the best ally you can be!!
I love me now! But it is a journey. Spread the love so everyone can feel accepted 😘
