1/ Hey Twitter! This is Alexandra Bolles (@anorianb) and Laura DelloStritto from the Bisexual

Resource Center (@BRC_Central). We’re here today for an #HRCTwitterTakeover to talk about #BiHealthMonth! pic.twitter.com/XFA3V6MFaL
2/ This March, we’re celebrating the 7th annual #BiHealthMonth. @BRC_Central founded the campaign in 2014 to address the social, economic and health disparities the bi+ community faces and inspire action to improve bi+ people's health. #HRCTwitterTakeover https://t.co/Bwq4RP1iD7

3/ Studies show that bi+ people comprise nearly half of LGBTQ people, making bi+ people the largest group within the LGBTQ community. But the LGBTQ community as a whole can do more to address bi+ folks' specific needs. #HRCTwitterTakeover https://t.co/f4nAvLDPZN

4/ Bisexual, pansexual, queer and fluid people experience far worse physical, sexual, social and mental health outcomes compared to their lesbian, gay and straight peers. #HRCTwitterTakeover https://t.co/N71RZBgqYg

5/ Moreover, bi+ people are far less likely to disclose our sexual orientation to, or have it taken seriously by, medical professionals, making it harder for us to get the care we need. #HRCTwitterTakeover #BiHealthMonth https://t.co/2kKC7Yz1TZ

6/ When bi+ people do come out, both to health care providers and to our friends and family, we often must confront harmful and damaging antagonism directed toward our bisexual+ identity. #HRCTwitterTakeover #BiHealthMonth
— Human Rights Campaign (@HRC) March 27, 2020
7/ This #BiHealthMonth, @BRC_Central & @PPMASS released a new resource, titled “Sexual Health Tips for the Bi+ Community & Best Practices for Providers.” #HRCTwitterTakeover https://t.co/OzpqbnOZYq pic.twitter.com/1zjEamxRtE
— Human Rights Campaign (@HRC) March 27, 2020
8/ Our new resource aims to combat the negative sexual health outcomes for bi+ people & to educate health care providers on how to best care for their bi+ patients. If we work together, we can help our community live happier and healthier lives! #HRCTwitterTakeover #BiHealthMonth pic.twitter.com/x27SpwPzaT

9/ One constant we see this month and in our work every day is the incredible resilience displayed by bi+ people despite the hardships that we constantly work to overcome.
— Human Rights Campaign (@HRC) March 27, 2020
That’s why the theme of this year’s #BiHealthMonth is “Resilience.” #HRCTwitterTakeover pic.twitter.com/GkbmKAgdXy
10/ At @BRC_Central, we know that bi+ people grow resilience by acknowledging unique hardships' impact on our well-being, while also recognizing that we grow stronger by building community and working together against anti-bi+ antagonism. #HRCTwitterTakeover #BiHealthMonth
— Human Rights Campaign (@HRC) March 27, 2020
11/11 This #BiHealthMonth, know that you’re not alone. The bi+ community is diverse, inclusive and here to welcome you with open arms. @BRC_Central has many resources for us and our allies. Stay proud and stay resilient! #HRCTwitterTakeover pic.twitter.com/g5HS0bLqwf
