Bi Gossip: January 2025 – Bi Community News
We mostly cover the “big stuff” in BCN – like bi events, changes to law that particularly affect bi people, new research and so forth.
But a lot of bi news is not “real news” but gossip or social media comments from people in the public eye. Those don’t change laws but they do, albeit not as often as we might like, change hearts and minds. Or give us public statements we can really relate to and that help educate others.
