Me discussing how a bi man is the perfect man for me cause like… what is there not to love? There is the fact that they will understand my sexuality only second to a bisexual woman, most bi men I’ve seen are comfortable in their gender expression and not afraid to be cute and have some damn fun in the way that straight men are not. The point is bisexual men are perfect.
Something to feel hopeful about: The first-ever Bi Pride parade in West Hollywood last month. Yay visibility, yay community. 💗💙💜(photos by Jon Viscott for The Advocate)
achilles is so often called gay by the community and straight by society even though he fell in love with men and women. freddie mercury is known as the most famous gay man even though he self identified as bisexual. channing tatum is constantly called straight even though he’s dated men and women. evan rachel wood and angelina jolie and drew barrymore–all self identified bi women constantly called straight.
sappho wrote love poems for both men and women and yalls response to the idea that she might have been bi is “there was no concept of bi/gay back then!! let’s focus on the fact that she was sapphic!!” to the point where her name has become synonymous with gay and she’s called a lesbian icon and y’all only seem to have issues with “concepts” and labels when the concept/label is BI. why am i not surprised?
bisexuality is valid pass it on
I don’t know how to explain it but is it a Universal Bi Mood that when people assume you’re straight (as a woman) you just want to Aggressively Refuse that you’re even attracted to men at all? Like I’m not pretending to be gay or anything but just now I had a conversation with a co-worker who noted that my earrings look stupid (they look fantastic, by the way) and I said that I love long “hangy” things (it makes more sense in my mother tongue and is also subtle) and she laughed saying she also loves long things, undeniably referring to penises, and I am attracted to men, I am Very Bi thank you very much but in that moment I could barely hold back saying “well I don’t love those long things at all” as if I wasn’t, and ugh Straights.
