Advanced Bi+ Allyship: Going Beyond the “Bi”nary
Beginning the ally journey can take a lot of introspection about (un)conscious biases—and that work must continue to become a more advanced ally. Participants in this session will learn more about common myths and stereotypes about people who are bisexual+ discuss advanced bi+ ally behaviors, and continue the conversation about how organizations can grow to be even more inclusive of colleagues who are bi+.

It is important for allies to understand and have the ability to dispel common myths and stereotypes about people who are bi+ so that they are able to stand up to anti-bi+ bias wherever it occurs. Leveraging PFLAG’s 50 years of experience as the nation’s original ally organization, this session will:
- Review bi+ terminology and some of the challenges that people who are bi+ face
- Unpack common myths and stereotypes about people who are bi+, how to push back when they come up, and ways to move beyond them
- Consider advanced ally behaviors to continue your journey towards being a bi+ super ally
- Suggest next steps that organizations can take to ensure that people who are bi+ feel included
- Connect with organizations led by, and resources created for, individuals with bi+ identities
