We& #39;re also aware of a letter in the US of 75 "LGbT" organisations standing in solidarity against rascism. You& #39;ll notice that there& #39;s only one bi+ org in the signatories. That& #39;s because the organisers didn& #39;t both to reach out to any other bi+ orgs.
This despite the fact that the pattern of bi people outnumbering gay people is even more pronounced with the black community. Black women are far more likely to be bi than lesbian. With that in mind, bi women & black women both face disproportionate rates of sexual violence[cont]
with black bi women facing extremely high rates. If you are not including bi voices/groups, you are not representing/catering to a very large proportion of black queer folks.
