"If you are bi, just being visible is a productive means of addressing biphobia and dispelling myths and stereotypes." "If they did that, Pride would feel less hostile [toward bi folks],” Veradonir concludes. “Pride leadership needs to step up and make bi folks feel more welcome at a systemic level.” This goes for all folks who are LGBTQIA+ — you're welcome at Pride, and you should feel that way.Getting to know other members of your community can be a huge step when it comes to feeling more welcome.

Gay men hang out with other gay men, bi folks stick together, and so too do lesbian and trans communities. “[Pride] is a great opportunity because you get to break out of your normal circle of people and get exposed to different [LGBTQIA+] groups,” Squires says.In addition to all the things Pride organizations and other attendees can to do make Pride more inclusive of bi folks, there’s also something we can do.
