"I don’t have to know the offside rule to feel the power of a good story."

@writative on why the least sporty among us is firmly on board the #WomensWorldCup hype train ⚽️ #WWC2023 #Lionesses #Matildas

Spot our co-editor @writative being a sap about Pride ⬇️

[The Phase @wearethephase]

"Seeing biphobia named on prime time television feels empowering."

Whatever happens with #SukEve tonight, at least we'll always have Sonia proudly flying the bi flag in Albert Square. 💖💜💙 #EastEnders

REVIEW: @MichaelCragg’s Reach For The Stars is a long overdue vindication of the 90s-2000s pop era we love to hate.

"It would have been obvious where Doctor Who was heading if Yaz's crush was male."

[Leigh respects NurseDoc & TimeRogue @TardisFam1963]

I feel Doctor Who can do better representation & not do bad things with them in the future. I do agree with people that Thasmin should have had a bit more time in the spotlight if writers listened to Jodie & Mandip earlier might have made a difference.

[Ellie Wilson @writative]

I am, unfortunately, back on my gay Doctor Who bullshit

"For the first time, in my thirties, I got to watch a relationship that looks like mine, with a girl who looks like me in it, in a musical on a London stage." 👭💓🏳️‍🌈

"For the first time, I got to watch a musical about a relationship that looks like mine and a girl who looks like me."

Lesbians? In OUR theatre? BUT I'M A CHEERLEADER: THE MUSICAL is a long overdue gay old time 🏳️‍🌈👭

Not to be dramatic but we posted this a year ago and now we're losing our entire queer minds. #DoctorWho https://t.co/7ocV6q1H6N

[Robyn Ochs 💖💜💙 @robynochs]

Study finds people assigned to read an article about sexuality existing on a spectrum were 28% more likely to ID as non-exclusively heterosexual than those in the control group.

My program Beyond Binaries has a similar effect.

The power of information!

Happy #BiPrideMonth to everyone who is bi+ everywhere!

[The Phase @wearethephase]

Oh hey, #GoodTrouble series 3 is available now on @BBCiPlayer! Here’s why it should be on your watchlist…

“It captures the messy, awful, amazing idealism of early adulthood with humour and flair and I’m thrilled it’s finally landed.”

[Autostraddle @autostraddle]

"Impostor syndrome tries to trick us into thinking it only shows up in the board room. But...it can sneak its way even into the spaces where we most expect to experience belonging. In the group chat. In the #Pride march. And even in our very own mindsets." https://t.co/z8nvZCIRmZ

[PinkNews @PinkNews]

Anna Paquin claps back at 'bigots' abusing her for being proudly bisexual: 'It's not a phobia, you're just an a*shole' https://t.co/OSISekJMd5

[The Phase @wearethephase]

We love a transformative bi haircut story AND a supportive straight partner story!

A reminder for those who may have forgotten: a bisexual is still bisexual whatever the gender of their partner. We've always belonged in queer spaces. 💖💜💙

[Xtra @XtraMagazine]

Feeling her queerness slowly slip away during the pandemic, @KateRaphael1 didn’t expect that her boyfriend—a cishet man—would be the one to reaffirm her bisexuality by giving her a queer haircut. Read the latest Love Like Mine https://t.co/9p6xZFwgIB

"My relationships can look like anything at all and so can I, and I’ll always be queer enough."

Hair and style can be your only ways to express yourself as a bi woman in a straight-passing relationship, but no one tells you how. https://t.co/9JAyuHIxcD
