Being bisexual is beautiful, but with all the biphobia and ignorance in the world, it can be challenging to navigate. As with any LGBTQ+ identity, coming out and being out can be hard.
There will always be people who don’t understand, but thankfully there are plenty of resources that can help. From charities and organizations to content creators, there are people there to support you.
One thing we know: HER is a safe place to meet open-minded queer folks and bi women who have the first-hand experiences. Connect with bi women here!
So, we’ve put together a list to help you find that support when you need it or share resources with friends and family to help you on your journey.
There are some amazing organizations and charities that have been set up to support LGBTQ+ people through a range of issues – bisexual people included.
The Bisexual Resource Center is based in Boston, but they have resources that can help you, wherever you’re based.
They have valuable insight on bisexuality, pansexuality, and queerness and set up bi+ community groups you can join to find people like you.
The Trevor Project was set up to support LGBTQ+ youth through mental health crises.
They have a phone and text line you can reach out to if you’re in a crisis or need support.
But they also have a social community space, TrevorSpace, to help you connect with other LGBTQ+ people.
It Gets Better has educational resources, stories, and events that can help you on your journey to understanding and accepting yourself.
They can be useful to share with friends and family who want to learn more about bisexuality or just to show you you’re not alone.
The Center for Black Equity focuses on supporting and advocating for Black LGBTQ+ people.
They lead pride events around the world that can help you connect with other Black LGBTQ+ people and have resources to help you through a variety of issues.
Content is everywhere.
Finding bisexual creators can be valuable to help you feel seen and understood and connect with others like you.
You can also share these resources with the people you love to help them understand bisexuality and bisexual issues.
