Bi people are all around you we mostly just pass as strait and are encouraged to remain invisible by identifying as straight or as gay by the straight and gay friend groups we know.
fellow invisible bi person checking in! 🫡
This me. Bi guy and it took me like several decades to realize that. Was convinced all my life bi was not real
This is not the oppression Olympics and I really do not appreciate the infighting nor the bisexual erasure. I'm giving you a temp ban to cool off.
EDIT: they have been permanently banned from our instance for harassing multiple users via direct messages
Fucking Christ, multiple people opening up about how they feel shunned by the very queer community that's supposed to accept them because they're bisexual, and here you are shunning and silencing queer people.
Are you this much of a flaming bag of dog shit to everyone in your life?
... They can littetally not walk "freely". If they show interest in the wrong person they are stoned and burned exactly the same. Gay/Lesbians can also escape prosecution, they just have to hide who they are. Same as the BI person. Bi means beeing attracted to male and female and they have to surpress and hide that attraction or face persecution. That is not free.
A straight person how is persecuted for being attracted to anyone not called John/Jane isnt free just because there is someone they are allowed to be attracted to legally.
"bi's can just walk freely" not if you're around apparently
I know this person is already banned, but for anyone else...it's not something you control. Sure, you may be bi, but sometimes (as hard as you might try), you still fall in love with someone from the same sex. You can't just choose to fall in love the same way you can't choose to be gay.
Which sucks if you are born somewhere repressive where homosexuality is an arrestable or executable offense.
