My Bisexual Journey: Looking Back with Love
By Ethan Gregoire. While I was certain I was bisexual, I was hesitant to use that phrasing. At the same time, I didnât want to confine myself to a label, and I craved the knowledge that there was a cut-and-dry label I could call home. The tug-of-war stemmed from simply wanting to exist as queer on the one hand, and wanting to know what âtypeâ of bisexual I was (was I pansexual, or perhaps on the aromantic or asexual spectrums too?) on the other.

A New Look for BConnected Colorado: Insights from Our Rebrand Journey
A Conversation on BConnected’s Rebrand During our transition from a Meetup with no formal structure to an all new nonprofit, I realized we needed to rebrand. Our old logo was overly complex, featured an outdated version of the pride flag, and didn’t really reflect the vibe I wanted for the organization. Crafting a New Vision

Queer Through the Lens of Autism
Autistic and queer. Thatâs what I call myself, and thatâs what they call me. Iâm no longer bound by pressure to prioritize being one or the other â Iâm both. Being both has clearly come with its own challenges on top of those associated with being âjustâ autistic or âjustâ queer; my identity is intersectional.

Trapped between Layers of Trauma: Growing Up Queer and Uyghur in ChinaÂ
âMy parents are freaking out because Iâm not married yet, and I donât think either they or I can stand it anymore,â they sighed. âMy parents are so scared Iâm going to miss my childbearing years.

I have no choice but to leave. I mean, I want to leave China.â
