Identifying being bisexual and having cancer

I’ve not really experienced any issues regarding my sexuality. Seeing a nurse or doctor with a rainbow lanyard does make things easier but there has an automatic assumption I’m completely straight. That, in general, is more of a society issue than a health issue, personally. Seeing a rainbow lanyard and/or badge does give me more confidence about speaking out regarding LGBTQIA+ and cancer, particularly about biphobia. Whenever I’m able to speak out about LGBTQIA+ issues, I make sure this is in the forefront of planning with PPI/E and EDI panels so it’s not an afterthought. It’s little but it makes a big difference. Even pointing organisations like OUTPatients helps patients and medical staff with terminology and support.
