This issue’s theme is “Teachers & Mentors.” The prompt:
We all have teachers in our lives that have helped to form us into the people we are today. Some of them may be traditional educators; others may be mentors, colleagues, authors/artists, friends, relatives, or even students themselves. What roles have teachers played in your life? How have they helped shape your understanding of bisexuality or of yourself more generally? What is the most important lesson (or lessons) that you want to pass on to others? Tell us who has impacted you the most.
And you did. For that, we are grateful.
We realize that the outcome of the U.S. elections and the move toward autocracy here and in other countries have been devastating to women, to the LGBTQ+ community, to immigrants, and more, and will impact lives around the globe. We need each other more than ever. Let’s hold safe our communities and do what we can to strengthen them.
It is my hope—and the hope of the entire BWQ team—that this will be one of the spaces that nurtures, validates, and supports you.
