Often this decision will empower others to do the same.”
BISEXUAL PEOPLE HAVE LONG FELT EXCLUDED AT PRIDE FESTIVITIES. THAT’S FINALLY CHANGING.
“It’s hard because you don’t want to be the stereotypical, straight girl in the gay bar. And I fully understand why people sort of get ‘icked out’ by that. But at the same time, there isn’t a good way to scream. ‘No! I’m one of you.’”
