Today is Annual Bisexual Visibility Day. Did you know that over 12 million folks identify as Bisexual? I didn't. That's a lot. And BiPhobia is real, as people aren't always ready to accept that some folks are different from them. We have so many phobias, man.
Mental health is a much riskier situation for Bisexuals than regular heterosexuals. Like so many of our LGBTQ+ sisters & brothers, being shunned or bullied or ridiculed or attacked, verbally or physically, is a valid concern. Because statistics. Imagine being in school, or in any public setting, always on guard. You know, like being a different color. Fucking people, man.
But working on your acceptance is a tool we can all adapt to and utilize. Gay Pride matters. Just please try to think of yourself as a parent or sibling or friend that has an LGBTQ+ connection. If. Well, plenty of folks do. And plenty of folks will.
We have been gifted with an incredible woman as our son's fiance', and two amazing young granddaughters, 14 & 4. Should one or both of them be different than me, or not, it would only make me even more protective of them. I don't much cotton to bullies.
In my studies, it has not been uncommon to read of ruthless men or rulers of some hellscape of a regime to murder our LGBTQ+ brethren. Or cowards that have taken it upon themselves to beat, intimidate, imprison, or kill others. Like:
- Putin
- Hitler
- Omar Mateen
- Shia Militia in Iraq
- Iran
- ISIS
- Stephen Port
- Muhammad Ejaz
- Brazilian Hate
- Ugandan Hate
- Ronald Edward Gay
- David Copeland
- Colin Ireland (The Gay Slayer)
- John Bunting & Robert Wagner
- Ronald Crumpley
- Violent Gangs in NSW, Australia
- Roger Dale Nunez
