Happy Celebrate Bisexuality Day! This day is the last day of #BisexualAwarenessWeek, which seeks to amplify the voices of the bi+ (bisexual, pansexual, fluid, etc.) community to combat bi-erasure. Check out the research we highlighted this #BiWeek in support of the beautiful bi+ community! 🩷💜💙

💜💙🩷 Bisexual Awareness Week Participants in our video gaming study, LEVEL UP! 🎮, taught us that representation matters. Too often, bisexuality is framed as a “phase." In The Last of Us 2, Dina is a thoughtful exception to this trend. Here’s to seeing more representation like this in media! 🌈🎓

This #BisexualAwarenessWeek, we're spotlighting research from @drliamcahill.bsky.social! His study shows how bisexual men are often grouped as "sexual minority men," ignoring the nuance of their experiences. This article reminds us to continue to resist bi erasure! 🩷💜💙 #BiVisibility #BiWeek

INQYR’s latest study reveals how LGBTQ+ affirmative CBT improves mental health through 3 key mechanisms. Through AFFIRM, depression / anxiety in LGBTQ+ youth showed lasting improvement one year later! Read the full article at @bmc.springernature.com Psychology! #AFFIRM #LGBTQ #mentalhealth
