Picture this: you’re a bisexual female student at university, and the only LGBT+ club on campus is run by a straight couple who seem to have lost sight of its original purpose. Frustrated with the club’s shift in focus and exclusionary practices, our protagonist decides to take matters into her own hands and create a second, more inclusive LGBT+ club. But things don’t go as planned, and now the entire club is in jeopardy. Let’s dive into this rollercoaster of a story and see what went down. ️

A Club in Jeopardy: Was It Worth the Risk? ️ ⚠️
Our protagonist’s well-intentioned attempt to create a more inclusive LGBT+ club at her university has taken a dramatic turn. With the existing club now under scrutiny, opinions are divided on whether she did the right thing or if she should have left well enough alone. As the future of the club hangs in the balance, let’s see what the internet has to say about this controversial situation…
NTA: Bisexual student fights for an LGBT+ club, but heterosexual couple takes over

NTA. Reporting issues to save and improve the LGBT+ club.

NTA. Shambles is a very mild word for that club.

NTA. LGBT+ club becomes exclusionary polyamory club, better not have one.

NTA big time. Supposed “allies” appropriating a club and shaping it to suit their needs? They need to get booted. Then watch their true colors come out.

NTA. Staff advisor supports safe space, calls out disrespectful individuals.

Bisexual student faces biphobia in uni LGBT+ club

NTA. Allies should support, not talk over LGBTQ+ voices.

Fighting Bi erasure and biphobia in queer groups

NTA. Change the regime if people are uncomfortable.

“NTA. Existing club: legit LGBT+ group or secret swingers? “

NTA: Allies should support, but someone from community should lead.

“NTA: Gatekeeping at its finest. They’re alienating the club’s purpose.”

NTA, fighting for inclusivity and pluralism in the university

Fight for the club! Don’t let them ax the group!

NTA. Hetero couple leading LGBTQ+ club? Allies don’t need safe spaces.

NTA: No club is better than a s**t one!

Exclusion of non-binary person at LGBT+ club: Appalling

NTA: Club not supportive of its own members

Why does it need uni approval? Funding, legitimacy, and space.
