I propose an LGBTQ+ Bechdell test.

The criteria are:

•Must have at least 2 explicitly LGBTQ+ characters

•They must have a conversation

•The conversation cannot be about their identities or homophobia

Bonus points:

•They must both have names

•At least one of them has to not be a stereotype

Honorable mentions of shows that pass the LGBTQ+ Bechdell test:

•The Owl House (Disney+ [but Disney does not get credit because they nerf all gay])

•Dead End (Netflix)

She-Ra and the Princesses of Power (Netflix)

Here are some flags on the Multisexual Spectrum with my malachite art style! I'm in the process of turning these (and many more pride flags) into stickers, magnets, and pins, and more!

If you have any suggestions for flags to makeover in this style, let me know!

You can find these flags here: Stickers & Magnets || (More coming soon!)

Whoever came up with / believes in the ideology that bisexual women are supposed to end up with women and bisexual men are supposed to end up with men. I hope you rot in hell. All bisexual or biromantic men and women out there, y'all are very fucking valid if you are with a partner of the opposite sex.

A community for the entire bi umbrella!

that moment where omnisexual is so hated on and underrepresented that you just tell people you're bi to stop them trying to correct your sexuality

i have come out to 2 people so far who have responded like this: me: I'm omnisexual, so I like all genders but I have a preference them: so you're bi another one I've heard is: me: i saw this hot guy today but then i also saw this hot girl and i had omni panic

them: why call yourself omni, that's too confusing, just use bi or pan more people understand that

what i'm trying to say is:

stop correcting people's sexualities, it's THEIR decision

Omnisexuality is valid and not biphobic whatever you might think

I’m sorry that instead of getting much needed help for your serious mental health issues you got sucked into a trendy genderwoo cult that erases and demonises homosexuality, is deeply racist, misogynistic and unscientific, and is completely dependant on controlling others perception of you. You’ll never ever be able to stop people from perceiving you as the sex you are, they’re just scared to admit it. And you know what, that’s fine because sex is a neutral fact and it’s impossible to change. Go develop a personality and interests outside of your obsessive navel-gazing brainwashing cult. Good luck!

1: I have 2 therapists, so I do have mental help

2: being LGBTQ+ isn’t my entire personality, I just tend to talk about it often.

3: interests you say? How about me being obsessed with Pokemon for over a decade and having a huge collection of everything Pokemon related?

4: I’m technically not cisgender, because I don’t identify as completely female, but I’m still on the feminine side of things, so people calling me a woman is fine 🤷‍♀️

5: I don’t really care how people see me, as long as they don’t harass me or anything because of how they perceive me, I’m fine.

6: how is it racist or misogynistic? Idk where you got that from.

7: I don’t demonize homosexuality, I’m literally under the bi umbrella, so it’d be impossible. Also, I don’t care about demonizing, bc I’m pretty demonic myself ٩( ᐛ )و

Anyway, imma eat breakfast now 💅

I saw a Facebook page for bisexuals that said bi is regardless of gender. I thought, ok, cool, I agree. It seemed like a regular bisexual page but when someone asked in the comments what the difference between bi and pan was (on a post responding to if pansexuals are allowed to follow the page and stating they can but it’s first and foremost a bi space), the owner of the page posted a link to an article addressing myths about bisexuality instead. I didn’t even bother to read the article. Idk if I’m over thinking this but to me it just felt like a dismissal of other mspec identities like pan, omni, ply, etc. and dare I say it, erasure even. This page thinks there’s no difference between bi and pan, which is fine to have personal opinions, but for a lot of people there is a difference and it’s important and meaningful to them, something the page did not acknowledge. I’m sick of bisexuals invalidating our identities. We exist, and we are valid. I’m sick of seeing panphobia, omniphobia, etc from bisexuals who should be standing in unison with us. We are part of the mspec community and we need to bring each other up, not down. And this includes mspec minorities.

see for me, defining bisexuality broadly as regardless of gender is the first red flag. because while some bisexuals use that definition, it has never been the general, community definition. then add to that saying pan people can follow but it's a bi page first and linking an article about bisexual myths when someone asked the difference......i'd give that page a hard pass if i were you.

i'm sure the people running that page think bi is an umbrella term that pan is included in, so it's interesting that they say the page is first and foremost a bi page. pan people (and omni and ply and all other non-bi mspec folks) are stuck in this in-between place where we're constantly told bi includes us but bi spaces/events/etc. aren't for us.

but yeah, you're right. panphobia, omniphobia, plyphobia, etc. from bi folks is super frustrating and disheartening. especially because of how it's never addressed or called out by anyone but us. it's never taken seriously. and when we address it, we're accused of being the bad guys, of talking over people, of making everything about ourselves. we're the most invisible people in the mspec community, so it's hard to get people to listen to us.

folks need to do better and stop trying to make the queer community about exclusive little groups with their "you can't sit with us" mindset. because who does that help? who is benefiting from that?

I just watched I saw the tv glow and I don't think y'all understand- I saw the tv glow.

Like actually, no movie has touched me like this. I don't have any idea how to describe what I'm feeling. I'm destroyed rn / pos

Bisexuality is a general and inclusive term for attraction that is not limited to one sex, regardless of gender. Read about the bi umbrella here: https://bi.org/en/101/bi-umbrella

[unwillingpuckbunny]

thought this was important to share to raise awareness for more sexualities under the bi umberella

from,

a person under the bi umbrella who couldn't work out their sexuality bc of bi-erasure and a lack of adequate education

[thetrashthatsmilesback]

maybe i'm just biased because i'm bisexual and recovering from a decade long eating disorder, but the fact that bisexuals are more likely to experience eating disorders than those of other sexualities while sexuality is never talked about in ed recovery spaces feels like biphobia
