Two-thirds of straight women, and one-third of straight men, in the United Kingdom say they'd be unwilling to date a bisexual person of the opposite sex, according to a recent YouGov poll.
The poll surveyed 5,983 Britons in late March, including 2,031 straight women and 1,517 straight men. It found that 48% of respondents viewed bisexual people positively, while 8% viewed them negatively. Most of the rest held neither a positive nor a negative view.
The poll also surveyed 824 gay men, 349 lesbian women, 396 bisexual men, and 866 bisexual women, asking whether they would date a bisexual person of a gender they are attracted to.

Point of Pride, a trans-led nonprofit that provides financial aid and direct health services to transgender youth and adults, has opened applications for its Thrive Fund, which helps trans people with expenses not covered by the organization's other programs.
Established in 2024, the Thrive Fund helps cover expenses beyond the nonprofit's existing services, which range from free chest binders and femme shapewear to financial assistance for transition-related surgery, hormone therapy, and electrolysis.
Thrive Fund grants can cover non-medical transition-related expenses, including legal fees for name and gender marker changes, fertility preservation, vocal therapy, and medical tattooing used to restore skin pigmentation or conceal scars from gender-affirming surgery. Applicants may request up to $2,500 at a time.

For the second time this summer, Ariana Grande has rebuked President Donald Trump's administration for using her music in a social media post.
The latest dispute erupted after the Team Trump account added Grande's 2024 hit "We Can't Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)" to a TikTok post that repurposed one of its lyrics.
The post quotes the lyric "Me and my truth we sit in silence..." before adding: "...men can't have babies and should never compete in women's sports."
