So, on my birthday, I not only get to celebrate another year of my life; I also get to reflect on my bi+ journey and thank those who have supported me in all my bi-cycles.Though I've long known that I wasn't straight, I only started identifying as "bisexual" in my early twenties, when I encountered a more expansive definition of the term. While bisexuality was for decades defined as attraction to both men and women, bi activists have...…Skip to main contentI am a firm believer that there are no coincidences — I know this because the universe had me come into this world on Bi Visibility Day.

 I first came to know the word “queer” when I was 12, as I sashayed around the car to help my mother unload groceries. I said some sassy comment, some quip. She lifted her head, looked at me, and said, “Don’t act queer.” I can still feel the sting of her words.How remarkable that, just a few years later, a generation of people would come to use a word once associated with so much hate and violence to arm ourselves. Today, the word “queer” is a way for us to create space for those who have been othered by the LGBTQ+ rights movement, by social norms and customs, and by outdated notions...… I first came to know the word “queer” when I was 12, as I sashayed around the car to help my mother unload groceries.
