Shout out to bi boys. You may not have a lot of positive posts for you out there but you are valid and you are good. Your bisexuality is not ‘a stepping stone to being fully gay’ you’re not a gay guy too scared to fully come out. Your bisexuality is just as real and valid as anyone else’s. You are important and you matter.

My partner (a queer woman) is a doctoral student in psychology doing research on queer families. If you have a few minutes, please take her survey! This is geared toward women who identify as lesbian, bisexual, or queer and who do not have children.

If the criteria don’t apply to you, please reblog! More responses mean better results.

“Researchers at the University of Missouri-Kansas City are examining the factors that influence sexual minority women’s attitude toward becoming parents eventually, especially in the context of race relations in the US. As an LGBQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer, etc.) woman, you are invited to participate in an online research survey looking at attitudes toward parenthood and stigma experiences. This survey usually takes participants 15-20 minutes to complete. You must be 18 years of age or older and not be a parent to participate. The risks for participation include discomfort that may accompany the disclosure of personal attitudes and experiences. Participants’ names are not connected to their surveys and no identifying information will be collected. If you have questions, please contact Sarah Middleton at [email protected].”

Feminist Icon Gloria Steinem on Beyonce

Q: Feminist role models today are so heavily pop culture-related, like Taylor Swift and Beyoncé, but then we hear criticism that maybe they're not great role models, that they're not really saying anything that's shaking things up.

A: Oh, we can have a Beyoncé discussion. I was there when Beyoncé did Chimes for Change — you know, it's the biggest concert I've ever seen in my life, for the Violence Against Women Project — she came out and said to this audience of thousands of mostly women, "I know life is hard, but we're together for the next hour or so, and you're safe." And I thought, OK, you had me at hello. We need to build bridges to those folks, not sit and nitpick what they have on. A feminist is just someone who believes men and women are equal beings.
