Alright, I’m bi and currently dating a girl (I’m a guy) and I have these gay friends who say that means I’m not bisexual and that we can’t be friends with them, but when I say that I have a small crush on a guy they come fleeting back like they were on my side the whole time. What should I do? I’m really confused. I thought my gay friends would understand and help me but I guess not

well your friends are biphobic and that sucks. no matter who you’re dating, you’re still bi. sincerely, i’m sorry they’re like that. it’s not cool

[bipositivity]

are you also attracted to nb and/or trans people?

specifying that you’re attracted to trans people means you see them as “other”. trans individuals aren’t a different gender. acting like they are is transphobic.

hi! i was wondering something. i know that pan/bi are very, very similar labels and that there’s a fine line between the two identities. can i say that i’m bi AND pan? like use both of those labels to describe my identity

It’s a bit redundant, but you do you.

happy bisexual visibility day (september 23rd) to my fellow amazing bisexuals. i love all of you guys and we don’t deserve all the shit that comes our way. bisexuality is beautiful and you should absolutely be proud of it! our community is so diverse and amazing and our history and activism is rich and beautiful!

[sheisrecovering]

bisexuality is valid.

[crow--prideflags]

bisexuals are SO frickin’ valid

bisexual girls, bisexual boys, nb bisexuals, bisexuals in same gender relationships, bisexuals in opposite-gender relationships, bisexual outside of relationships, bisexuals with a lean, no matter the side, bisexuals with no lean, ace or aro bisexuals, masculine feminine or androgynous bisexuals of any gender, all bisexuals!!

to all of my bisexual followers, and whoever happens to see this post, ily and you’re amazing

i hope every bi person is having a good day today

[bipositivity]

So i know this probably seems irrelevant compared to some of the other advice you give, but i am going to come out to my school on monday, and i just want some encouragement? thank you so much xxx

Not irrelevant at all! That’s super great, congratulations! Hope everything goes well and you’re safe and get all the support you deserve! <3

Ok so I’m bisexual and I’ve come out to people as that but I feel like I can never talk to my friends about it because when I do they make it uncomfortable or make me feel weird for talking about it (I forgot to mention but majority of my friends are straight) and so I only talk about me liking guys, and not girls, and so some of my “friends” think I’m faking it for attention how do I get out of this situation

That’s a tough situation. My advice would be to talk to your friends and tell them that you sometimes feel awkward or like it’s uncomfortable for you to talk about your girl crushes with them. They might not realize that they make it uncomfortable for you or make you feel judged about it. It might be something they need to actively work on, which is good in the long run anyway. 

If they aren’t cool with you sharing your girl crushes just the same as your guy crushes, then there is definitely a much deeper issue there. You deserve friends that wholeheartedly support you and your crushes, whether or not they can personally relate. Have an honest discussion about your feelings and their feelings about the matter, and see where that leads you. I hope it works out!

💖💜💙 here’s the bi tea 💙💜💖

bi people who are more attracted to one gender over the other are still bi, yes this includes those who are attracted to the opposite gender more, stop telling people they’re “too straight” for pride

bi people who are currently dating someone of the opposite gender still belong at pride stop saying they don’t

bi folk who are dating someone of the same gender are still bi, stop telling them they aren’t

bi girls aren’t “secretly straight”

bi dudes aren’t “secretly gay”

[seriously though why do y’all assume we’re all just attracted to men?]

bi people who come out as lesbian/gay later on are totally valid

bi people who end up being straight in the end are totally valid

bisexuality DOES include trans people, stop saying it doesn’t

being bi doesn’t mean you “only believe in only two genders” nor does it mean you disrespect those who don’t identify within the gender binary

bi curious people belong at pride as well, we all start our self discovery somewhere

💖💜💙 feel free to add onto this. As a bi girl who has experienced hate from both those in the LGBT community and out, I just felt like this needed to be said. 💙💜💖

✨🌈Happy pride month y’all🌈✨

Lately I thought I was a lesbian, but I found a journal entry from the past and I wrote down bisexual. I wonder if I'm bisexual, but I prefer women over men.

I can’t answer this for you, honestly. Only you can determine your own sexuality. It’s possible that you prefer women, but are attracted to both, but it’s also possible that your identity has changed since you wrote that journal entry. 

Don’t use this journal entry as your only reasoning for calling yourself bisexual. Labels and feelings can change, and it’s possible that you still thought you were attracted to men at the time you wrote that but have found that you aren’t. 

It’s not something you ever have to label, and if you choose to label, don’t feel like you can’t change them. You’re never stuck with one label, it is completely valid to choose a different one that is more fitting as time goes on and you become more aware of your feelings. Good luck bb <3

it’s almost pride month and I don’t want to see a single post saying that bisexual people are privileged. not a single one. want me to explain? fine. 

having extremely poor mental health rates, very high rates of suicide and very high rates of ED is not a privilege. 

having very high rates of substance abuse is not a privilege. 

being the most closeted group in the entire LGBT community is not a privilege

having extremely high rates for sexual abuse and intimate partner violence is not a privilege

receiving the least amount of LGBT specific funding (despite being the largest group) is not a privilege

having extremely high rates of economic insecurity and homelessness (often involving an unsafe home situation) is not a privilege

having very high rates of experiencing exclusion and harassment and not daring to go to LGBT pride events or support groups because of this is not a privilege

bisexual people aren’t fucking privileged. get over yourself and actually start supporting bisexuals for a change, you could actually start to make a difference.
