just positive bi things

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!!

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. 💙💜💖

Coming out is important. Coming out on your own terms and timing = even more important.

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.
