Bi the Basics

Bi+ Health Month


Listen Later

This episode will cover Bi Health Month which is being run by several Bi+ organizations in the US, pioneered by Bisexual Resource Center.  The theme of this year is equity to place a spotlight on the fact that bisexuals make up a majority of the LGBTQ community but receive less then 1% of funding while still facing health, social and economic disparities. The goal of this episode is just to discuss the statistics that are provided by many of these Bi + organizations. Since this week is a bit heavy, I have provided some positive visibility in the Bi-selection and Bi-visibility segments. I talk about the song Not a Phase by Jessie Paege and Lucy & La Mer as well as the book Red, White and Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston.

Here are links to all the information discussed below. If you are able think about donating money to one of the many Bi+ organizations as they receive very little grant funding when compared to other LGBTQ organizations.
