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 can challenge anti-bi+ bias wherever it occurs. Leveraging PFLAG’s more than 50 years of experience, 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+, learn how to push back when they come up, and figure out 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; and
- Connect with organizations led by, and resources created for, individuals with bi+ identities.
