The image features a split design: the left side shows a photograph of a blue and white sign for the "Aurora ICE Processing Center" at 3130 Oakland Street, managed by GEO. The right side contains bold pink and white text on a blue background that reads, "Trans ICE detainees subjected to horrifying medical neglect according to report." Below the headline, a summary of a HuffPost study describes reports of harassment, discrimination, and flagrant medical neglect leading to serious health complications for transgender migrants in detention. The logos for LGBTQ Nation and Robyn Ochs are visible at the bottom.

This Bi Health Month, we must remember: there is no health equity without justice for our most vulnerable. 💖💜💙

This image features a pink and magenta background with a central white text box containing a quote. The quote recounts an experience from the Robyn Och's early twenties, where they attended weekly therapy for four months without disclosing their bisexual identity due to fear and uncertainty about the therapist's views on bisexuality. Ochs reflects on how they missed out on support for navigating the world as a bisexual person because they were too afraid to come out in a therapeutic setting. The graphic includes a blue quotation mark icon at the top and the "robyn ochs" logo in the bottom right corner.

In my early twenties, I saw a therapist but never mentioned being bisexual. I was too afraid to ask if my identity was seen as valid.

We need inclusive, safe healthcare spaces every day of the year so no one else has to hide who they are from those meant to help them. 💖💜💙

You said shorter alt text Gemini said Promotional graphic for Bi+ Health Awareness Month, March 2026. The theme is "Claiming the Right to Care as Bi+ People". The text emphasizes that Bi+ individuals deserve affirming, accessible healthcare without having to justify their identities or settle for less. It also calls for tackling healthcare erasure to ensure those with intersecting identities receive the care they deserve. Includes the URL bihealthmonth.org and logos for the Bisexual Resource Center and Robyn Ochs.

March is #BiHealthMonth! I’m joining @BRC_Central to champion “Claiming the Right to Care as Bi+ People.” This theme affirms that we are entitled to affirming, accessible healthcare without having to justify our identities or settle for less. Learn more at bihealthmonth.org.

graphic with a bright pink background and blue accents at the bottom. The top features the yellow text "Gallup 2025 is here!" followed by large white text stating "9% of U.S. Adults Identify as LGBTQ+". A blue section at the bottom contains white text: "LGBTQ+ identification in the U.S. remains steady, from 9.3% last year and has increased by more than double from 2012, when Gallup began its surveys." The "Robyn Ochs" logo and "Gallup 2025" are in the bottom right corner.

We are still here. 🏳️‍🌈

Despite the administration’s attempts to erase our community from federal data and public spaces, our visibility holds strong. 9% of U.S. adults identify as LGBTQ+. This is more than double the 2012 rate.

A two-page magazine spread titled "BI+ ZICHTBAAR IN ELKE KLEUR VAN DE REGENBOOG" (Bi+ Visible in Every Color of the Rainbow). The pages feature a collage of photos from Pride Amsterdam, including a large group of people marching behind a purple banner that reads "bi+ en trans mensen hand in hand" (bi+ and trans people hand in hand). A prominent section titled "Workshop Robyn Ochs" features a headshot of Robyn and a photo of her presenting to a seated audience at the H'ART Museum. Other photos show pride stickers, people embracing, and a soccer match. The text is in Dutch and details the activities of the Bi+ Commission during Pride.

This past July I led a half-day program in Amsterdam during their Pride Week. The room was full, and the energy among the participants was electric. It felt so good!

My hosts at Bi+ Netherlands, who organized the program, just sent me this article from the 2025 Pride Amsterdam publication.

A screenshot of a LinkedIn post by Karen Fleshman, Esq., featuring a photo of a marquee sign for Grace Methodist Church. The sign reads: "8 MEN HAVE AS MUCH WEALTH AS 3.6 BILLION PEOPLE, BUT SURE, THE SINGLE MOM ON FOOD STAMPS IS THE PROBLEM."

When 8 people own as much as 3.6 billion, the "problem" isn't the social safety net. It is the greed at the top.

Thank you for sharing Karen Fleshman, Esq..

A news infographic with a bright pink border. The top half shows a photo of the Stonewall National Monument sign behind a black iron fence adorned with several Progress Pride flags. Overlaid on the image is a blue "QUEERTY*" logo. Large blue text below the photo reads, "Stonewall ignites as protesters defy Tr*mp’s order to remove Pride flags from the historic LGBTQ+ landmark," with the byline "David Hudson." The Robyn Ochs logo is centered at the bottom.

Stonewall is sacred ground rooted in resistance. Removing the Pride flag is a deliberate act of erasure and a cowardly attempt to silence our history.

New Yorkers and the LGBTQ+ community will not back down. Our visibility is non-negotiable. 🏳️‍🌈✊

An infographic with a purple background and a large red and white AIDS awareness ribbon on the left. White text reads: "Florida reportedly halts proposed cuts to HIV meds after complaint." Smaller text below explains that Florida health officials paused plans to restrict access to the state’s AIDS Drug Assistance Program following a legal challenge by advocates. The bottom of the image features the Robyn Ochs logo on the left and the "them" logo on the right.

Advocacy works! ✊ Florida has paused plans to slash HIV medication access (ADAP) after a legal challenge. The cuts would have threatened lifesaving care for 16,000 people. In this climate, protecting LGBTQ+ healthcare is a vital victory.

Six people stand side-by-side in a row against a neutral grey wall at a conference. On the left, a person in a lavender dress with butterfly accessories on their shoulder smiles at the camera. Next to them, a person in a blue "bi" shirt and distressed jeans poses with their hands in their pockets. In the center, Robyn Ochs wears a blue jacket over a black top, followed by Nesta Johnson in a red blazer. To their right is a person in a bright pink button-down shirt, and on the far right, a person in a plaid shirt and a black baseball cap. A projection screen is partially visible on the far right.

Last week’s Creating Change Conference in DC was a highlight! 🌟 Honored to lead the Bi+ Caucus & Institute with the dream team: Nesta Johnson, Tanya Israel, Stephen Getman, Helen Parshall, & Bailey Merlin. So much love for our bi+ community!

A graphic with a dark blue background and wavy pink abstract patterns on the right side. White italicized text reads, "When a president calls human beings ‘garbage’". Smaller white text below states, "Donald Trump’s dehumanizing tirade against Somali Americans is a brutal reminder that nativism and bigotry are not relics — they are alive, and dangerous". The top left features the "robyn ochs" logo, and a pink button contains the "Maine Morning Star" logo.

I still can’t get over the President calling human beings “garbage.” This isn't policy; it's a dehumanizing attack on American ideals. From neighbors to leaders, immigrants reflect the best of us. We must speak out: Immigrants are not garbage. They are America.

Robyn Ochs, on the right, has long, wavy grey hair and wears heart-shaped bisexual pride earrings and a teal zip-up hoodie. Both individuals are wearing event badges clipped to lanyards.

Nesta Johnson and I co-facilitated the Bi+ Caucus at this year‘s Creating Change conference. It was a wonderful experience – there was so much joy, relief, and love in the room.

A square graphic with a purple background featuring a quote by Phil Ochs. On the right side, a black-and-white circular portrait shows Phil Ochs wearing a dark suit, hat, and tie, standing in front of an American flag. To the left, a bright pink text box contains the lyrics: "Yet our land is still troubled by men who have to hate / They twist away our freedom and they twist away our fate / Fear is their weapon and treason is their cry. / We can stop them if we try." Large white text at the bottom reads "The Power and The Glory" followed by "PHIL OCHS" in a bold, italicized font. The "robyn ochs" logo is centered at the top.

In the early 1960s, my uncle wrote a love song to the United States called "Power and the Glory." This is the 4th verse.

A person holds a blurred newspaper in their hands, serving as the background for a social media graphic with a vibrant pink border. Centered on the image is a white rounded card featuring the logo for the publication "them" in the top left corner. The card displays a bold dark blue headline: "Former New York Times Editor Says Paper's Anti-Trans Slant Came From the Top." Below the headline, purple text summarizes that former editor Billie Jean Sweeney has alleged that the newspaper's management pushed writers to adopt anti-trans viewpoints. A small "robyn ochs" logo is centered at the bottom of the pink frame.

When the "paper of record" treats human rights as a "political project," the cost is paid in real lives.

Former editor Billie Jean Sweeney reveals how the NYT allegedly pushed an anti-trans slant, silencing the community to court the hard right.

Two young women stand outdoors holding a rainbow Pride flag behind them. One wears a yellow plaid crop top and black pants, the other a yellow striped crop top and denim skirt. Both are smiling at the camera. Below the image is text reading, ‘Gen Z women are more likely to identify as bisexual but still embrace lesbian label: study,’ with The Advocate logo on a bright pink background.

More Gen Z women are identifying as bisexual, not to erase lesbian identity, but because younger people are more comfortable describing sexuality as diverse and fluid. Labels aren’t disappearing; they’re expanding.
