[video description: a TikTok by @/ziosaaa, a black person. The video is titled "Black People can be Queer and no they don't have to prove it".

Initially a greenscreen showing a tweet that reads:

this habit of adopting bisexuality for the sake of appealing to your LGBT fanbase while never actually dating women is so weird to me. and yes it was weird when Doja and Nicki did it too

end tweet text.

video transcript:

This tweet has been starting some discourse lately, so let's talk about it. If you didn't know about it already, the wonderful Megan Thee Stallion has just recently launched a new album (and you should go listen to it) and within this album, along with many [themes] for other songs, Megan talks about some bisexual themes. Usually it's things like you know, "I got a n*gga, I got a bitch" "I'm a banana, they got a split". But in her newest song, Broke His Heart, she raps "I like girls and I like n*ggas, both of them getting ate". Which, you would think would be a huge W for the LGBT community, 'cause Megan the Stallion, [in italics] Megan the Stallion. But if you've been a fan for a while you know that Megan has been openly bisexual, especially on her tour. But after this lyric dropped (and there were some posts on Twitter) Megan has been facing some backlash as people [are] saying that she is "bisexual for a fanbase". But the bigger issue here is how a lot of black artists or artists of color in general are heavily policed in their sexuality. I had some moots [mutuals] break this down in a really great way. You had artists like Tyler [the] Creator, Doja [Cat], Cardi B, Nicki [Minaj], Megan [thee Stallion] who all have said that they're bisexual, but everyone wants them to prove it in some way, shape or form.

But in the same breath these people will you know pioneer cishet white women as the queer icons, even though we know they're straight and they have never once ever claimed any bisexuality. A great example of this is like Taylor Swift. I have been seeing like "Taylor Swift is secretly bisexual or secretly lesbian" theories for like over ten years now. And even though she has never once claimed this, no one is like "critiquing her", saying she's a "fake bisexual", 'cause we know she's not, even though poeple are theorizing that she is. But then you have these black artists who are like "hey yep I'm bi" and everyone's like "you can't be bisexual, you're faking it, you just want a new fanbase, mehmehmeh, let me see you kiss a girl then". More examples of this: Harry Styles. Someone who's never explicitly said that they were bisexual or queer and yet they are also being shown as a queer icon.

Megan or any other bisexual woman who decides that they just never will date women are still bisexual and who knows, maybe Megan is dating a woman and just wants to keep it under wraps 'cause you guys are [in italics] so weird! For example, I'm pretty sure Phoebe Bridgers is also bisexual but has only ever dated men. And yet people have taken her into the community with open arms.

This is just a reminder that black people are and can be queer, and no, they do not have to prove it to you. Matter of fact, go thank your local black bisexual, 'cause they're probably doing more for the community than you ever will. Have a great day.
