"Woke pronoun madness," they call it. But here's what's actually happening: we're learning more about the human experience. Just as we discovered left-handedness is natural, that being gay isn't a mental illness, we're now recognising that gender is more complex than a simple binary. Non-binary isn't ideology—it's discovery.

This Christmas, we want to say thank you—to every LGBTQ+ person who refuses to be invisible, who shows up authentically, who makes space for others. 2025 tested us with DEI rollbacks and political backlash—2026 may bring more challenges. But we've survived worse. We're recommitting to solidarity, visibility, and supporting each other through what comes next.

"You're just confused." "Pick a side." "You're going through a phase." If you're bisexual, you've heard it all. Here's the truth: bisexuality is attraction to multiple genders. It's not confusion, not a phase, not "half and half." It's the largest group within the LGBTQ+ community—and it's time we talked about it properly.

"So... you're attracted to pans?" If you're pansexual, you've heard this joke 47,000 times. Let's clear something up: pansexuality means experiencing attraction regardless of gender. It's not about being attracted to everyone—it's about gender not being a determining factor.

For many LGBTQ+ people, the most meaningful Christmas gift isn't under the tree—it's sitting across the table. Acceptance isn't something you can wrap in a bow, but it's the gift that changes everything. Here's what it looks like, and how to give it.

Major corporations are dismantling DEI programmes and pulling Pride sponsorships worldwide. The Pride flags are coming down, the funding is disappearing, and the silence is deafening. But here's what they've forgotten: you can't legislate us out of existence. When they want us invisible, visibility becomes resistance.

They banned rainbow crosswalks in Texas. LGBTQ+ people responded by painting rainbows across Houston—decentralised, ungovernable, unstoppable. When governments try to erase us from public spaces, personal visibility becomes political resistance. Every small act of defiance becomes collective strength.

Look around any public space today. How many of us can you spot? For decades, that question held life-or-death stakes. This World AIDS Day, we remember the fierce, defiant love that kept our community alive when no one else would—and why visibility still matters today.

A colourful bracelet may look small, but it carries a big message. At RCREW, we began by easing swipe fatigue and sparking real-world encounters. Today, our mission has deepened: to unify the LGBTQ+ community, stand defiantly visible, and defend the rights that generations before us fought to secure. Each bracelet is more than an accessory — it’s a daily act of solidarity and resistance.
