Bi-spreading with pride no matter what the trolls say – Patrick Lenton

Lately many of us have seen a lot of misinformation and harassment towards our communities on social media, often disguised in ways that direct people away from the equality we’ve fought for, for generations.

We are seeing more personal attacks on members of our community when they stand up or fight back against misinformation they see, and becoming a target themselves, with personal information being used against them to discredit them.

Author and writer Patrick Lenton, is one of those people and joined Rach & Dean on JOY Breakfast to discuss this, as he often gets trolled for not being queer enough because he isn’t in a same sex relationship.

Has Bi-erasure become the new black for the far right?

And are we even noticing when it happens?
