In our season 3 opening episode, I interview Rebecca Minor, a licensed therapist, educator, and advocate passionate about creating affirming spaces for LGBTQ+ individuals. Rebecca is one of the founders of Bi(in)visibility, a platform that centers the experiences of bisexual individuals—an often overlooked group within the LGBTQ+ community, despite making up the majority. In fact, studies show that bisexual adults represent 57.3% of LGBTQ+ adults in the U.S., yet their voices are frequently erased or misunderstood. Through Bi(in)visibility, Rebecca is working to change that.
