I have a story. (paraphrasing on some of the quotes)
So yesterday my friend and I were talking and I said something about myself being gay.
He then said, âI thought you were bi.â
And I was like, âI am, but I can still call myself gay because itâs like an umbrella term.â
And he said, âbut itâs not technically rightâ
But I sent (at the same time) to be funny and also because itâs true, âalso people donât like bi people because weâre too awesome and theyâre all stupidâ
At this point I was sort of getting mad but I was about to educate a bitch so I was trying to keep my cool.
He then asked what I meant about other people not liking bi people and I told him that lots of people are biphobic. (even people in the lgbtq+ community) and I just told him about that sort of stuff.
He said, âthatâs stupid.â
And I was like, âyep.â
He then asked my preferences on girls and boys.
I told him that while I am bi I tend to prefer girls more. (Sorry guys whoops)
He then said, âso gay is more accurate.â
And I said, âno I am bi.â
And he continued to push that gay is more accurate.
I said, âI have the right to label myself I donât care what you think is technically right.â
He apologized but asked if I saw where he is coming from.
I said, âI do but it not right.â
He continued to disagree with me on it.
I then asked, âdo you get where Iâm coming from?â
But he still continued to push that gay is more accurate.
I think he was trying to say (but failing) that while I am bi I tend to lean towards more of the gay side.
Which is true, but thatâs not how I label myself. I label myself as bi but I prefer more girls. I still like guys, but not as many.
I eventually gave up and said I had to leave.
I think he still thinks gay is more accurate. Oh well I tried.
