Bisexual fluidity looks like a change of sexual and romantic desires from different genders or temporarily feeling more attracted to one gender than the other. #bisexualvisibilityweek #bipride Sexual fluidity may be experienced by people with any sexual orientation identity.

Can we stop making fun of pregnant studs and masculine women who date men? Bisexual masculine women exist & sexuality is fluid. #bierasure #bisexualvisibilityweek

Did you know family causes the most harm to LGBTI+ persons? While queer people are encouraged to find acceptance with their chosen families, there is a need for advocacy that fosters family acceptance and understanding. #queervoicesinfamilies #familyacceptancematters

A recent survey found that one in two participants reported threats, insults, and isolation from family members. It's essential to create advocacy centered around minimizing harm within the family unit. #queervoicesinfamilies #familyacceptancematters

Unfortunately, the first place queer people experience harm is within the family. The Queer Voices In Families research by Mwa_Kenya reveals a dire need to advocate for queer people within the family unit. #queervoicesinfamilies #familyacceptancematters

11% of LBQGNC persons have faced physical harm at the hands of their families. Advocating for safer spaces at home means queer people will not have to go through these life-altering experiences from people that should protect them. #queervoicesinfamilies #familyacceptancematters

For many queer people, family is a word they had to redefine for themselves. But it does not have to be the case. Advocating for queer people within families is the first step to shifting narratives that continue to perpetuate harm against queer people. #queervoicesinfamilies

When we talk about conversion therapy we sometimes fail to mention how humanly degrading this practice is. Many queer people who have experienced CT suffer from mental health and self-esteem issues. #queervoicesinfamilies #familyacceptancematters

Sharon Atieno We speak your name today. Yesterday we had a meeting that included Kenya's security organs and they are also alarmed at the high rates of Femicide and it's now a security concern. I will do a thread explaining why these trends should worry every one of us Stop
