Grey’s Anatomy actor Sara Ramirez, who is openly bisexual, has kicked off #BiHealthMonth by asking her 824,000 followers to share their touching stories of support.
Because, really, being part of the LGBTIQ+ community isn't always doom and gloom.
The actor tweeted: "In honour of #BiHealthMonth I’d like 2 ask #Bi+ (bi,pan,queer) community of all genders & colors: Could you please share stories of when our allies (monosexuals: straight/gay/lesbian identified folk) stood up 4 you, showed you acceptance & respect & loved you for you?"
The resulting stories were unsurprisingly beautiful.
According to the initiative's website, #BiHealthMonth was founded to raise awareness about the bisexual+ (bi, pansexual, fluid, queer, etc.) community’s social, economic, and health disparities.
Starting out as a student project, it also encourages community action to improve bi+ people’s well-being, as well as encouraging positive representation in media, politics and advocacy, healthcare, and education.
