#bi people exist

As a bi person, bisexual Buck existing on our screens without too much question is so meaningful.

I am struggling to find the words.

I exist and I’m there.

I’m a bi person and I’m there in not understanding my feelings and my support system trying to make parallels with friendships, like Maddie did talking about her childhood best friend.

I am there in the confused irrationality of “this is my best friend and I am so far from him and now there is a hole in my heart that is so much bigger than I thought it would be.”

I am a bi person and I am there, on the screen, figuring shit out at 31 and having that “oh” moment, that is so small but so meaningful and so life changing.

Is it just me or does Gambit give Bi Guy vibes?

Seeing all the whining about ‘no they’re playersexual’ in the Baldur’s Gate fandom now makes me think of this old post from way back about Dragon Age 2 romances. It went something like:

Anders and Merril are gay, they just appreciate Hawke so much! So is Leliana who loves the Warden!

Fenris is straight but has hero worship for Hawke.

Isabela is straight but really likes sex. So does Zevran!

Sebastian is bisexual but got shamed out of it.

And I remember this so well because like… it is just insulting as fuck. They’re all bisexual/pansexual characters. To attempt to say: actually no that’s wrong and the relationship with the player character is an exception-

That’s just plain old biphobic horseshit. Add in that you immediately only allow one character to be bisexual but add he got shamed out of it like it’s some damn disease makes me think you believe it’s a good thing.

Now I’m frustrated. Biphobia is just… so common in our society. It’s disgusting. No there isn’t a side that needs to be picked. Figuring out you’re no after thinking you were gay or straight is valid as fuck, and yes you can have a preference but still be bisexual!!!

Ugh. People.

hey, it’s kinda late, but happy pride month to all bi people! all bi people who felt like they had to perform liking the same gender more, because they didn’t feel gay enough! all bi gnc people! all bi people who have been out for years. all bi people who just came out! all bi people who will never come out! all bi people who aren’t cis! all bi people who ARE cis! all bi people who aren’t sure! all bi people on the ace or aro spec (or both)!

happy pride month to bi girls! you’re doing amazing, you don’t have to pick sides, and we love you whether you date a boy, girl, or someone else. <3

happy pride month to bi people who aren’t a boy or a girl! (i feel you there <3 that’s me fr)

and i’d especially like to say happy pride month to all bi boys. we love you, you’re doing amazing! you don’t have to pick or choose sides, i promise. it’s okay if you date a guy, they’re wonderful and beautiful, and you’re love isn’t sinful. it’s allowed to be sweet puppy love! and it’s okay if you date a girl. i promise you’re not pretending! you’re valid!

i hope all you lovely bi people have a wonderful month! i love you and believe in you!

"What's the need to talk about your sexual orientation all the time, just let it be"

" I talk about it all the time, because it took me a long time to figure out, and understand myself, to accept myself fully. To make myself feel that there was nothing wrong, and that I was perfectly normal too. I don't want another 14- year old going through the self-questioning, and self-doubt of whether it's okay, and whether they're normal or not. I want them to feel happy within oneself because they already are aware that it's totally alright to have whatever sexual orientation you want, whenever you want"

A sapphic lead like Kitty is such a good thing. I love it but I'm already seeing people being like "it doesn't make sense she likes girls" "I love Minho so I hope this is a phase" first of I also like Minho but saying that? You're showing the kind of person you are

erm this is my bi-yearly reminder to my followers that i am in fact gay… a queer if you will…

so like. if that’s something that bothers you, don’t feel an obligation to follow me/interact with my stuff

[nosadstosads]

Unfriendly Pride Month reminder that bisexuality is valid and doesn't have to be justified to exist in queer spaces

If you feel the need invalidate anyone's queerness due to hetero aspects of their relationship, grow the fuck up

[frogsare-friends]

"straight passing privilege" isn't real.

1. stop stealing terms from people of color. no ifs and/or buts.

2. two lesbians or two gay men can be seen as straight and just friends but we call that sexuality being erased not privilege. wonder why?

3. you're implying and relying on the fact that all bi people and their partners are cis and don't "look queer," which isn't true (and while there's no way to look queer homophobes will clock you as queer whether it's true or not).

4. you're just using it as a way to separate bi people from queerness. it is biphobic

no, recognizing that bi people and gay men/lesbians have different experiences isn't biphobic. but nobody ever wants to admit it's true when it means biphobia exists and isn't just homophobia. yall only wanna talk abt it when it gives you a chance to be biphobic. stop it. bi people aren't any less queer, stop trying to come up with terms that don't seem blatantly hateful to get people to agree with you and continue the biphobia.

ok hot take. after reading that cursed prologue and seeing how happy she is with travis i think that taylor is at least bisexual (or queer/unlabeled). i used to believe that she was bi before i’ve joined gaylor’s tumblr community but after reading many posts on here i believed in theory that she might be a lesbian. now i’m convinced that she’s just bi or something but i understand where the PR truthers come from. taylor is giving me bi girl kisser vibe lately. i’m open for the PR theories as well but travlor seems very real to me rn. unlike toe.

I need to get dressed and get my ass to the store.

One of things that annoys me to no end is how in so many pieces of media the authors and, as a result, the characters, completely forget, THAT BI PEOPLE EXIST...

There are so many times, when the plot/subplot begins to focus on "is this character gay or straight?", as if these are the only options...

I want to yell at those characters so bad 😭😭😭

You don't need to act so confused, when a guy character, who only liked women up to this point, starts liking another guy, for example. Seriously. The amount of time everyone in the story turns into that math lady meme thinking "iS tHiS gUy GaY oR sTrAiGhT???" FOR SEVERAL CHAPTERS is so incredibly frustrating...

The "problem" could be solved within a page, if you just remembered, that the character could be bi, who either didn't realise they were bi up until now, or due to internalised homophobia they suppressed that part of themselves.

This could be such an interesting plot to explore, but nooo, instead we're just sitting here with the gay-straight dilemma

An interesting exchange on sexual orientation between me (a bisexual) and my stepmom (a very liberal pro-lgbtq trans-inclusive straight woman) about my step niece/her granddaughter (who is 13)

Stepmom: She was telling me about a Ryan Gosling movie and I said ‘he’s so good looking’ and she said ‘yeah he is’

Me: hahah nice 😆

Stepmom: well get this, last year I asked her if she likes anyone and she told me she doesn’t really care about boys and that she’s—y’know—gay

Me: *prepared to come out as bi/demi/etc in support/solidarity* oh yeah? That’s cool too! I hope she knows she doesn’t have to be one or the other, nor is there some cutoff age or deadline for ultimately deciding…

Stepmom: welllll😬 it’s not quite that simple

Me: ??? *no longer prepared to come out in support/solidarity, feeling confused and annoyed*

some people don’t realize how much i love hearing the word bisexual in shows and movies, i get so happy and emotional that it might seems stupid but after getting attacked because i’m bisexual seeing these characters being sooo proud of their sexuality makes me cry a little

bisexual characters, thank you and i love you so much
