#ELIXHERTalk: Biphobia in the Black LGBTQ Community
In honor of #biweek and our ongoing commitment to raising #bi visibility, we talk biphobia and stigma.

many people think that the term bisexual comes with negative connotations therefore people stray away from it #ELIXHERTalk @ELIXHERMagazine- Great point @SimpliiLee. Be sure to use the hashtag #ELIXHERTalk so people can follow along.
- RT @SimpliiLee @ELIXHERMagazine by people believing it's a transition into homosexuality #ELIXHERTalk #biweek
- Is this based on stats or assumptions? @SimpliiLee B/c 2 married/committed women are often perceived/read as lesbians. #ELIXHERTalk #biweek
- How do we challenge some of the negative connotations that are associated with the term #bisexual? @_boi_unicorn #ELIXHERTalk #biweek
- The foremost important thing is to live in your truth & be proud of what you represent. @ELIXHERMagazine #ELIXHERTalk #biweek
by allowing those who identify as #Bisexual to tell their own unique & varying stories all in the spectrum can be represented #ELIXHERTalk- Great question. No. They're in a same-sex union. #bisexuality isn't dependent on gender of your current partner. @SimpliiLee #ELIXHERTalk
.@ELIXHERMagazine @SimpliiLee that is strictly true but depends on the people, couple. For some (like me) lesbian can coexist w/ bi-identity
@alwaystheself @ELIXHERMagazine @SimpliiLee #ELIXHERTalk Mixed Orientation Marriages/Relationships (MOM or MOR) are common for bisexuals.
@ELIXHERMagazine @_boi_unicorn It would help if the L & G community weren't so black & white & negative regarding bisexuality. #ELIXHERTalk- Let's unpack that. Why do you think there is such stigma in the lesbian community against #bisexuals? @SimpliiLee #ELIXHERTalk #biweek
- @ELIXHERMagazine on ratchet reality tv lately where there is a woman "playing both sides" while men look on from the side #ELIXHERTalk
