...and we can all go home.

I’m really annoyed, as a lesbian, the more I think about biphobia within the LGBTQ community. If an actor comes out as bi, be excited and embrace having a new famous face representing the queer community. But at the same time, realize that their stories and experiences are not going to be the same as a lesbian or gay person’s. You don’t get to be angry because they’re not the type of queer you most identity with. Rejoice for your bi sisters and brothers who have someone speaking up for them. We have the shared experience of being queer, but we also have very different experiences underneath that large umbrella label. You are not entitled to another identity’s representation, you don’t get to try to claim it or say it’s not good enough because it doesn’t relate to YOU on every front. Support bisexual people, respect them, embrace them.
