A #BiAwarenessWeek reminder: Bi people have always existed but are often erased, ignored, or stereotyped. Bi people are real + valid. Bi people have diverse experiences + identities. And they’ve been a crucial part of the fight for LGBTQ+ equality! 💗💜💙 stonewall.org.uk/bi-hub

The welfare and safety of young people is paramount, and we deeply concerned by these findings. We need to see more work done to address the shocking rates of self-harm and suicidal thoughts experienced by young LGBT people. #IDAHOBIT2021 1/3 theguardian.com/society/2021…
