Why do employers still not trust people to work from home?Stop and search changes labelled 'structural oppression' that will harm Black peopleWe can't get enough of the 'enemies to lovers' romcom trope - but can it ever work IRL?With more bi parents reaching out to me via email asking for advice on coming out, it feels like the days of parenthood forcing bisexuals back into the closet are numbered.Even if it is just putting the bisexual flag colours on a social media account or wearing a bisexual t-shirt, older bisexuals seem more willing to stand up to the stigma that we all just turned straight.As more of us continue to speak out, writing bisexuality off as a phase will become impossible.

We’ll then be in a stronger position to demand change, and start improving on those dire statistics for bi people. With that narrative crumbling – it really does feel like anything is possible.Do you have a story you’d like to share?

Life Reddit Police Miami Beach Police rolled out a Pride-themed squad car. It didn’t go over well.
The police department in Miami Beach, Florida, covered one of its cars in stripes from the LGBTQ Progress flag and rolled it through the Miami Beach Pride Parade last month, as the department’s Instagram account proudly proclaimed at the time.Comments on that Instagram post reeked of homophobia, as you might expect, with people saying the Pride-themed police car was “too much” or “a waste of taxpayers’ money.” (Someone else called for a “straight people parade,” as if that’s not every other day of the year.)But on Reddit’s r/lgbt forum, a photo of the car sparked a different backlash, considering the “Don’t Say Gay” law Florida just passed.“Surprised this is allowed in Florida,” one commenter said of the MBPD’s rainbow-hued police car.“Feels extra performative because of that,” another person replied. “Actions speak multitudes louder [than] the pride flags.”A third person wrote, “Short-circuit the state’s legislature when you call in a ‘don’t say gay’ alert on the police.”  A post shared by Miami Beach Police Department (@miamibeachpd)Related: New study reveals police stop LGBTQ people at a much higher rateOther people, meanwhile, noted the torturous history of LGBTQ populations’ interactions with law enforcement.
