Bi+ 101 Allyship: How to Not Let Things Fall Bi the Wayside: Recording & Training Toolkit

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, 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.

One of our key goals is to help you take the information that you learned in this session and use it to make your chapter stronger and more effective. To do that, we’ve created this page to provide you with tools, resources, and references to materials mentioned in the workshop. As always, the PFLAG National staff is here to help. If you have any questions, comments, or just need some good advice, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
