hi hello may I please have ur attention
I’d just like to say a really big FUCK YOU to everyone who thinks bisexuality is gross, or selfish, or invalid, or anything other than beautiful.
I think what really gets me is the people in the LGBTQ+ community who reject bisexuals. First of all, we are the B hi hello pls love us we just want to be accepted, just like you. We want to be seen as valid, just like you. We want rights and justice and kindness, just like you.
But acronyms aside, don’t we advocate for acceptance? Isn’t that what we’re all about? We’re a group of people with similar/common ground who banded together for support, for love. We seek kindness in each other because we can’t find it anywhere else. This community is not supposed to be oppressive. It is not supposed to be tyrannical or exclusive or mean. If you identify anywhere in the LGBTQ+ spectrum, you belong here, and you can find love here. Isn’t that what this is all about?
So why are some people being little fucking bitches and treating bisexuals like they’re inferior?
We are not selfish. We are not unkind or grotesque.
We are valid, and we deserve love. We deserve to love and to be loved. All of us are in this community because we’re different; that’s why we’ve banded together. And I’ll be goddamned if that isn’t what makes us great - what makes us special and so so precious.
I can deal with people outside of the LGBTQ+ community bashing us. It fucking sucks, but I’ve been dealing with it, and I can continue to do so. There will be a day when cis and het folk all accept us, and I know that today is not that day. I can wait for it.
But when people in my own community think it’s okay to bash me for who I am, I have to draw the line. I won’t stand for that, and no one else should have to either. And by no one else, I mean no one else. Bisexuals are not the only ones getting heat. Asexuals get bashed by people in the community all the time, I’ve seen it with pansexuals, and I’m sure there’s more. But I digress.
If we aren’t holding each other up, we are dragging each other down. That’s not what we’re about.
Essentially, I’m trying to convey a message to all LGBTQ+ folk who invalidate and alienate bisexuals: I accept you and I think you are valid, but I do not love you. I cannot love you. Not in the way I love everyone else in this community. Not in the way I love supporters. You don’t deserve that. LGBTQ+ people can be scumbags too. Don’t forget that.
One last time, F U C K Y O U
