Stigma, shame, and secrecy surround the Bisexual community. With a whopping 40% identifying as Bi, it is disheartening to know that they are the group least likely out of the LGBTQ+ community to come out to family and friends, according to research by the Human Rights Campaign. However, with the growth of social media and representation in film and television, there has been a positive shift. We sat down with a prominent young activist for the bisexual community, Eliel Cruz, who also prides himself on not compromising his Christian faith for his sexuality. Check out our Instagram story to hear how he remains kind in advocating for the community.
