Three Steps to Being a Better Ally to People Who are Bi+ and Pansexual
Bi+ 101 Allyship: How to Not Let Things Fall Bi the Wayside
There is still an unfortunate lack of representation and understanding of the bisexual+ community in the workplace. Statistics show that over 50% of the LGBTQ+ community identifies as bisexual+, including identities such as pansexual, fluid, omnisexual, queer, and more. Participants in this session will learn more about the bisexual+ community, why it’s so important to understand and respect bi+ people, and some tools to be a great bi+ ally.

Now’s the time to learn more about the largest identity group within the LGBTQ community – people who can be attracted to more than one gender. Leveraging PFLAG’s 50 years of experience as the nation’s original ally organization, this session will:
- Review terminology about sexual and romantic orientation, gender identity, gender expression, and how they relate to bi+ identities
- Provide definitions for commonly discussed bi+ identities including bisexual, pansexual, omnisexual, fluid, queer and more
- Discuss data and research about the disparities that people who are bi+ face
- Provide questions to help hold oneself accountable as a bi+ ally
- Connect with organizations led by, and resources created for, individuals with bi+ identities
