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! 💗💜💙

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.
