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.

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.

EDIT: they have been permanently banned from our instance for harassing multiple users via direct messages

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?
