Gettin' Bi

Bi representation is pretty underwhelming, what's up with that?

As a proud bisexual girl I would like to start a petition to officially claim Legends of Tomorrow as part of bi culture ™

And here’s why: so far three characters are confirmed to be bisexual,, Sara Lance, John Constantine, and agent Gary Green.

It is very obvious that Constantine and Sara are bi as The CW don’t try to hide it. I mean Sara has been seen with women and a few guys before and had a thing with Constantine in the past and the past like two episodes have shown Constantine in an old relationship with a guy and it’s well known that he sleeps with/likes girls. I honestly didn’t know about Gary until I looked it up,, apparently he hooked up with Constantine at some point (I probably wasn’t paying attention tbh) and currently has a crush on Mona.

(also there’s just a lot of cute guys and cute girls so like that’s a plus)

To clarify for anyone who isn’t aware: these are three main characters. And these are just the explicitly confirmed bisexual characters.

Hey, so uh. I know this blog isn’t usually serious but like. I don’t know how much you all know about this situation in Northern California. I live one town over from the Camp Fire, which is now both the most destructive and the deadliest fire in Californian history. An entire town has been leveled. Surrounding towns have been deeply affected. Those of us whose homes are safe all know several people who lost everything. Last Thursday morning, I woke up and looked out my window and thought it looked like the end of the world. 

I can’t eloquently explain what it’s been like. I wouldn’t know how to start. I’ll link to an article written by a professor at my school, who describes it far better than I ever could: When Paradise Is On Fire

I don’t have a lot to say, because honestly, I am at a loss. It’s now been a week, and I haven’t been able to get my thoughts together.  I just wanted to share some donation opportunities for anyone who has heard about this disaster and wants to help but doesn’t know how:

Wildcats Rise - Fire Recovery Fund: This is a Chico State specific fundraiser, to support the students, faculty, and staff who’ve been affected. We have a lot of professors who lived out of town, and students who commuted. 

Butte Humane Society: Many people couldn’t get to their pets in time, and people have been finding more and more injured animals. The Butte Humane Society has asked for donations on Facebook, as they’ve been treating evacuated animals. They’ve also offered free microchips to anyone with proof of address in one of the affected areas. 

North Valley Community Foundation: This is a local nonprofit organization, collecting relief funds for the evacuees and the first responders. From what I understand, in addition to helping individuals, they’re also planning for how to use funds for recovery after the fire is completely put out. The long term consequences of fires like this is really one of the biggest concerns.

Please, for the love of god, just actually make Eleanor bi in the show. Just make it actually canon. I’m so tired. Having her flirt with girls is not the same thing as acknowledging her as bisexual, and someone calling her bisexual in an interview isn’t canon. 

[annalisequeer-ing]

Petition to have Eleanor casually mention an ex gf she had once in an episode ffs. She does this with ex bfs almost every episode. It’s honestly not that hard. 

[birepresentation]

This would honestly be the best way to introduce it, I think. It doesn’t have to be a big thing or anything. I think it would be out of character for her to like, come out to everyone. I would be so happy with just her mentioning an ex girlfriend.

hey so im 14 and just a starting freshman and i think i'm bi. like, damn, that dude's hella cute, but hey, she's adorable oh my god look at her hAir. thing is i've never really experienced any sexual attraction to ANY gender and my school is like 70% lgbt (it's an art school, of course) so i might just be influenced (?) and i'm just SO scared i'm just intruding. i try to tell myself i have as much of a right to explore my identity as anyone else, and i have thought i was gay before. any advice??

You’re absolutely entitled to question. You have plenty of time to try on labels and figure out what works well for you. If you decide you ID as gay, great. If you decide you ID as ace, fantastic. If you ultimately settle on bi, welcome to the community. And if you decide that you’re straight, that doesn’t at all mean that you were intruding in the LGBT community. It doesn’t mean that your questioning wasn’t a valid experience. Figuring yourself out is a process, and I think that many straight people could’ve benefited from examining their identity with gender and sexuality anyway. 

Self discovery is always something to be celebrated. We’re all just trying to navigate through language and definitions that communicate our experiences. Labels change, words change, people change. Sexuality can be fluid. At your age, or at any age really, you can always reconsider what labels work for you. 

I hope this helps.

It’s probably because all bi people are cute and wonderful so the flag had to match

Americans!!

I know it’s been months but Dirk Gently season two just came to Hulu. If there is any hope of ever getting a season three, it’s now. To any Americans that may see this: watch and/or rewatch both seasons of this show! It’s confusing at first but I promise it’s worth it!

JEWISH (BISEXUAL) HIGHLIGHT: Libby Holman

Libby Holman was an actress whose first role was in the 1925 The Sapphire Ring, and she acted throughout the 1920s. 

Openly bisexual, she dated both men and women. She often sought the company of gay men, however the women she dated tended to be lesbians. She was accused of murdering her husband, a topic of two Hollywood films, Reckless and Written on the Wind. 

Her trademark song, Moanin’ Low, was inspired by African American blues music. She refused to comply with rules regarding “mixed shows” by performing with Black musician Josh White. She was additionally a friend of Martin Luther King Jr.

GREG BERLANTI: We’ve had an interesting thing with your character which now everyone is more open about. We created you as a bisexual character. But then there was a preference from TBTB that we’d pretty much only have you be with women, for a little bit, and then there was more of an openness. From our end there was a sense of a sensitivity that we were going to somehow upset lesbian and bisexual members of the audience if we still showed you with men as a bisexual female character. What was your experience of that while you were going through that? - from Out @ WB
