The "Bi" Experience - As Told by Bisexuals! - The Gamer Agenda Podcast (Ep. 2)
2Today’s agenda: The Bisexual Experience — As Told by Bisexuals
Bisexual erasure is a real and prevalent issue plaguing LGBTQ+ communities. With harassment and misconceptions coming from all facets of life (and even from other queers!), what are some assumptions we can avoid, and what are some ways we can understand and be better allies to our bi and pansexual brethren?
