The bi flag was first shown at a website's birthday party. Michael Page unveiled it on December 5, 1998, at BiCafe's first anniversary, using colors from Liz Nania's biangles. Two fifths pink, one fifth purple, two fifths blue, and the purple blends right into both. Send this to the bi friend who deserves a little visibility 💗💜💙 Sources in the pinned comment 📌 #bisexual #biflag #bivisibility #queerhistory #learnontiktok Pinned

Misgendered someone? Don't panic. GLAAD's advice: apologize quickly and sincerely, correct your mistake, then move on. No big speech, and don't make it about how bad you feel ✨ It really matters: in The Trevor Project's 2024 survey, fewer than half of trans and nonbinary young people said a lot, most, or all of the people in their lives respect their pronouns. Oops, correct, keep going. Send this to the friend who's still practicing. Sources in the pinned comment 📌 #misgendering #pronouns #transally #lgbtq #learnontiktok Pinned

The trans flag is younger than you think. Navy veteran Monica Helms designed it in 1999, after she woke up one day with the design already in her head. Blue, pink, and one white stripe in the middle, so no matter how you fly it, it's always correct. Send this to the friend who always asks what the colors mean.

"Trans" comes from Latin: across, beyond, through. The word itself has a story, from a 1965 medical book to a 1969 magazine to Leslie Feinberg's 1992 pamphlet, which made transgender an umbrella term. One more tip at the end.

At a game show in 1999, two characters fell in love and kissed in front of the press, and nobody scripted it. The team had cut same-sex romance, but a programmer coded it back in from an old design document. It stayed in the game, and the game became a record-breaking best-seller.

Plot twist: the nonbinary flag was made to fly next to another flag. Kye Rowan created it in February 2014 to be flown alongside Marilyn Roxie's genderqueer flag, not to replace it. Yellow, white, purple and black, and July 14 is International Non-Binary People's Day.

The first rainbow flags were dyed by hand. In 1978, Gilbert Baker and thirty volunteers dyed and stitched two flags with eight colors, each one with a meaning: hot pink for sex, red for life, orange for healing, yellow for sunlight, green for nature, turquoise for magic and art, indigo for serenity, violet for spirit. So where did pink and turquoise go? Watch to the end.

Pride's story starts on the Fourth of July. From 1965 to 1969, activists picketed Independence Hall every July 4th. Then came Stonewall, on June 28, 1969. A year later, the first march filled the streets of New York, and Brenda Howard, the Mother of Pride, helped turn it into a whole week.

Be the coworker who makes work feel safer 🫶 In a 2018 Human Rights Campaign survey, 46% of LGBTQ+ workers said they were closeted at work. Five easy moves: speak up about jokes, use inclusive language, share your pronouns, never out anyone, and do your own homework. Slipped on someone's pronouns? GLAAD says apologize, correct yourself, and move on. Sources in the pinned comment 📌 #ally #lgbtqatwork #worktok #pronouns

How to help a friend who's struggling 💛 The National Institute of Mental Health shares five action steps: ask, be there, help keep them safe, help them connect, and follow up. Asking directly about suicide does not increase suicidal thoughts. You don't have to fix everything. Just being there matters. And if you're the one struggling, you deserve help too. Need someone to talk to? • The Trevor Project: free counselors 24/7 by call, text or chat • Suicide & Crisis Lifeline: call or text, 24/7 • Trans Lifeline: peer support by and for trans people (weekdays 1-9 PM ET) The numbers are on screen at the end of the video 💛 Sources in the pinned comment 📌 #chatsafe #MentalHealthAwareness #lgbtqsupport #friendship

Job hunting? 💼 Look up the company in the Human Rights Campaign's Corporate Equality Index, read the equal opportunity statement, check for spousal, domestic partner and transgender-inclusive benefits, and ask about LGBTQ+ employee groups in the interview. Know your rights: in Bostock v. Clayton County (2020), the Supreme Court ruled that the federal law against sex discrimination at work also covers sexual orientation and transgender status. (US federal law. Not legal advice.) Sources in the pinned comment 📌 #lgbtqatwork #jobhunting #careertok #queer

Looking for your people? 🏳️‍🌈 Try an LGBTQ+ community center (CenterLink has a directory and a map), a GSA at school, a PFLAG chapter (in person or virtual), or TrevorSpace if you're 13 to 24. Pride events and queer-friendly clubs for things you already love count too. Nervous to go alone? Bring a friend, or message the organizers first. You don't have to find everyone at once. Start with one 🫶 Sources in the pinned comment 📌 #lgbtqcommunity #queer #pflag #gsa #learnontiktok

What to say when someone comes out to you 💖 Start with thanks ("I appreciate your trust"), believe them, and ask: "What can I do to support you?" "Would you like me to keep this between us?" "Have you told anyone else?" Skip "I always knew!", don't ask when they "decided," and don't pry. It's their story to tell. Send this to someone who'd be a great first person to tell.

How to ask someone's pronouns without making it weird ✨ Go first: "My pronouns are she/her. What pronouns do you use?" (that's GLAAD's suggestion). Skip "preferred," don't guess from someone's clothes or voice, and never force anyone to share. Not sure yet? Use their name or "they." Fun fact: "they" was Merriam-Webster's 2019 Word of the Year. Send this to the friend who freezes up at introductions. Sources in the pinned comment 📌 #pronouns #lgbtqally #nonbinary #trans #learnontiktok
