I’ve been questioned if I belong due to being bisexual. There are exclusive jerks in the LGBT+ community as well, but luckily they’re usually few and far between.

    As I bisexual I often feel like that too. Never encountered any straight-up (pun not intended) rejection, but always felt kinda weird looks from both cis and LGBT+ people when the topic comes up. Seems like I'm left out regardless of where I am. :/

    The Stonewall Riot was started by a bisexual woman. We make up the largest percentage of the LGBT+ community. You belong 💕

    Sometimes monosexual types have a hard time wrapping their head around bisexuals and our attractions. And some people reject what they don’t understand. That’s their journey to figure out and has no reflection on you!

    Happy Pride!

    As a fellow bisexual in a passing relationship who experiences a ton of erasure, this convo thread is making my heart so happy🥰

    Also, so happy to see velma out in the wild, so to speak! Your compliment on my skirt was so supportive and inspired me to make a new one this weekend. Meeting a friend I haven't seen in a long time at the craft store in a few hours for supply purposes, thanks again for the support!

    Oh yay!! I have been in hetero passing relationships for a large portion of my life. It can really fuck with one's head about belonging and visibility! But being attracted to genders different than mine is truly a defining characteristic of bisexuality and it's easier to embrace that now.

    What a fun project for this weekend!! Your skirt is really cute and I hope you share the new one, too :) 'Tis skirt season after all!

    As a monosexual (this term is so funny lmao) i can't wrap my head around the fact that people can't understand bisexual people, like, it's just a taste man, it's like saying that it's strange to like more than 1 type of dessert

    I saw it once, probably from Dan Savage, and immediately picked it up. Such an easier way to describe straights, gays, and lesbians (I'm probably missing an orientation in there, sorry in advance!) all in one go!
