Happy Pride Month! As June comes to an end, let's remember our history and continue to fight for our future in a time when America is becoming increasingly hostile. This year feels particularly heavy. Not only has support for our community declined, but our civil rights, work conditions, mental and physical health care, and access to LGBTQ+ books are in precarious positions nationally too. The good news though is that, for now, the Michigan legislature is upholding the majority of pro-LGBTQ+ laws.
Our stories outlive moral panics through social networks, self-expression, and art. Our voices matter. To celebrate Pride here is a list of stories that showcase bi women's creativity and resilience.
