Gay aphobes: “Aces/aros can’t be in the community! Resource stealing might happen!”
Bi people: “So are you going to address the fact that gay people take the resources meant for us and leave us with the scraps?”
Gay aphobes: “No.”
Bi people: “But-”
Gay aphobes: “Quiet down before I start bombarding you with biphobia again!”
Wait are people actually getting mad about this post? Bi organizations got $0 out of $97,189,139 for LGBT+ funding but if we dare speak out about it then we’re homophobic?
According to the most recent LGBT Funders Tracking Report:
Bisexuals got less than 1% of LGBTQ grant dollars despite making up about half of the LGBT+ community. Also both gay men and lesbians had an increase in funding (good thing!) while funding for bisexuals decreased (bad thing!). Which is appalling considering they were already getting less than 1% to begin with.
Bi people tend to fare worse than gay people in issues such as poverty, coming out, health, mental illness, violence, abuse, suicide etc. These statistics are constantly used to get more funding for LGBT+ organizations but then barely any of it goes towards bisexuals. Which is y’know stealing resources.
