"weird", "gross", "unnatural", "looking for attention", "going to hell", "disgusting" and "not right". These are just a few of the insults that I have recieved for identifying as bisexual. Does the fact that homophobia still exists sadden/anger you? Yes

From my experience, many people excuse their homophobic behaviour by saying things such as "I don't have a problem with the gays, but..." and proceeding to list all their problems with the so-called 'gays'. They also seem to think that pride flags, parades and such are irrelevant in today's society. Do you agree that this is homophobia? Yes

Pride parades exist because homophobia, transphobia and an inability to recognize the lgbt+ community still exists. Straight pride parades do not need to exist because straight people are fully recognized while queer people are not. Do you agree that the concept of a straight pride parade is stupid? Yes

As a bisexual woman who has been in relationships with both men and women, I have experienced first-hand how horrible people can be in regards to my sexuality. Do you think that things need to change so that no one else has to experience such hate? Yes
