BiStanders

Hello, Good Bis!

Don’t just be a BiStander, but an ally to the LGBTQIA+ community! But what makes someone a good ally? Annie and Rose discuss how to build you good ally tool kit, actions that flex the good ally muscle, and ways your actions can have an impact! Specific questions are discussed at the timestamps below. Email us your comments, thoughts, stories at [e-mail] or leave us a message at https://anchor.fm/hellogoodbis/message.
