hot bi gf coming thru!

Saying you are pan forcibly redefines bisexuality in a negative way. The pansexual label is often used as the “more inclusive” version of bisexual, thus implying that bisexuality, by default, is less inclusive. 

In the etymology of Kertbeny's 'heterosexual', 'hetero' comes from the Greek heteros which means another, while homos means same [...] not long after this, bi, or two, started to be used to refer to people who had both homosexual and heterosexual desires. A way that bisexual researchers often talk about this is that the bi in bisexual means two, but the two are not men and women, they are same and other.

September 23rd is Bisexual Visibility Day. Let’s take a moment to acknowledge some of the wonderful people that are bisexual!

Billie Joe Armstrong // Green Day “I think I’ve always been bisexual… It’s a beautiful thing.”

Anna Paquin // Actress “Proud to be a happily married bisexual mother. Marriage is about love not gender. For me, it’s not really an issue because I’m someone who believes being bisexual is actually a thing. It’s not made up. It’s not a lack of decision.”

Danny Scarborough // Choreographer, dancer, AIDS activist “In 1984, Scarborough received the devastating news that he had AIDS.  He contracted it from a former lover who later died of the disease…Consequently, he went public in 1989 about his bisexuality and AIDS.” (Blackpast.org)

Bai Ling // Actress “[A]t first when I was in the United States I didn’t always have an interpreter in interviews and I didn’t speak English so well. There was some confusion. My name is pronounced "bi,” so when I was asked, “Are you bi?” I said, “Yes, I am Bai.” Do you like men? “Of course!” Do you like women? “Why yes!” And later I found out what that means and I said, “Sure, I am bi!” But I think the interpreters and the reporters thought that I didn’t know what I was saying because I was so open about it. They were uncomfortable about it. Such a thing is not important for me.“

David Bowie // Musician and actor "It’s true – I am a bisexual. But I can’t deny that I’ve used that fact very well.”

Sapphire // Author of Push  “Ramona Lofton, better known as Sapphire, is a self-admitted bisexual, novelist, poet, and performance artist.” (Blackpast.org)

Alec Guinness // Actor “Sir Alec Guinness was bisexual, a fact that he managed to keep secret during his lifetime, according to three new biographies. He was charged with a homosexual act in a public lavatory in 1946, but managed to keep the episode out of the public eye, according to an authorised biography.” (BBC.co.uk)

Lady Gaga // Musician “You know what? It’s not a lie that I am bisexual and I like women, and anyone that wants to twist this into ‘she says she’s bisexual for marketing,’ this is a fucking lie. This is who I am and who I have always been.”

Jason Mraz // Musician “We still have a long way to go But know I am bi your side. All ways.”

Frenchie Davis // Musician and Broadway actress “I didn’t plan to come out, but I’m really thankful that everything unfolded the way it did because no, I’m not straight; none of the guys I’ve been with made me straight, just like being madly in love with my partner right now doesn’t make me a lesbian. I’m a bisexual woman and it is what it is. I have enjoyed men thoroughly, and I can say the same thing about women.”

Fergie // Musician Interviewer: “After you discussed past sexual experiences with women in an interview with The Sun in May, headlines everywhere read, ‘Fergie Admits She’s Bisexual!’” Fergie: “The funny thing is that I was very open and honest about that from the very beginning, and everyone was acting like it was some new trend. Go back four or five years, people, and you’ll see the same answer.”

Alan Cumming // Musician, play actor, and comedian “I still define myself as a bisexual even though I have chosen to be with Grant. I’m sexually attracted to the female form even though I am with a man and I just feel that bisexuals have a bad rap.”

                              HAPPY BI VISIBILITY DAY

we are incredibly strong to have experienced biphobia, and still kept going. and still kept being ourselves.

and for those of us who are still in the closet, or went back in the closet, or are otherwise withholding themselves because biphobia? it’s okay! one day, you will find strength, you will find people who matter, who will support you! one day, you’ll be able to be authentically yourself!

don’t give up now, just because you can’t see the sunrise just yet doesn’t mean that it isn’t coming <3

bisexuals have always love trans and nonbinary people!

bisexuals have always broken gender norms!

bisexuals have always found their loves and their identities both inside and outside of the binary!

it’s silly to pretend that bisexuals are limited in any way. we love everyone! we have historically always been attracted to the same sex and the opposite sex, to same and like genders, to normal and abstract forms of gender and self expression. we are a fluid, whole identity and our bisexuality impacts us in a wide range of ways. bisexuality will never be limiting and we are allowed to be loud and proud about it!

bi men cannot “fetishize” mlm relationships

our love is just as deep as everyone else’s love. our desires are just as good. our experiences are just as important and validating. liking another gender does not “ruin” or lessen our same gender attraction. we belong here, and we will always belong.
