What LGBTQ+ topic do you wish more people knew about? This could be a queer icon, a piece of history, knowledge about certain labels, specific philosophy topics (or notable philosopher), art, or anything else. Also if there are topics that you wish specific sub populations had greater access to or knowledge of, feel free to qualify (for example, you might wish there was greater knowledge about a specific cultural gender to all cultures which don't have exposure to this gender, or a desire for your local gay community to be more educated on a topic important to you).

This is not the oppression Olympics and I really do not appreciate the infighting nor the bisexual erasure. I'm giving you a temp ban to cool off.

EDIT: they have been permanently banned from our instance for harassing multiple users via direct messages

Fucking Christ, multiple people opening up about how they feel shunned by the very queer community that's supposed to accept them because they're bisexual, and here you are shunning and silencing queer people.

Are you this much of a flaming bag of dog shit to everyone in your life?

I know this person is already banned, but for anyone else...it's not something you control. Sure, you may be bi, but sometimes (as hard as you might try), you still fall in love with someone from the same sex. You can't just choose to fall in love the same way you can't choose to be gay.

Which sucks if you are born somewhere repressive where homosexuality is an arrestable or executable offense.
