Bi-sexual Pride!

Education, Kids & Family, Sexuality, Society & Culture, Youth

HAPPY BI-VISBILITY WEEK!

 

Did you know that according to the PEW Research Centre that:

• 40% of LGBTQIA people identity as bisexual but only 28% of bisexuals tell anyone else that they are bi.
• 60% of bisexuals say they don’t feel connected to the LGBT community

A recent study from La Trobe University also found out that “Bisexual and pansexual people are frequently subjected to discrimination and a lack of social acceptance – even within the queer community.” In this episode we explore what it means to be bisexual, how bi-stigma is impacting young queer people and how we can better support young bisexual people.

 

Thanks to Claire and Ruby for sharing their stories, views and opinions!
