Baby bi
Today a 14 year old (who happens to share my first name) delivered a practice stump speech at the political advocacy day my org put on and she proudly declared she is bisexual and that she’ll work hard for inclusion for all.
20 years ago I was almost 14 and had no idea what bisexual meant, maybe except to see it as a hypersexual stereotype. I didn’t know anyone bi and it would take me 15 of the following 20 years to even begin to piece together that’s what I am.
Today a 14 year old delivered a speech at the political advocacy day my org put on and she proudly declared she is bisexual. She attended because she wants to run for office someday.
I know it’s easy to get down on the world, lord do I ever. But today I take a moment to bask in the accomplishments and feel gratitude.
