vanessa hudgens’ blonde hair looks atrocious.
The hardest part of being out and bisexual isn’t what you’d expect …
This problem comes up very frequently. LG folks say we’re confused, pretending, or even just hanging on to passing privilege; straight folks are just glad we’re not too gay, or think that we can still be fixed.
The thing is, speaking as part of the bisexual community, I am fine. There’s nothing wrong with being bisexual, nor is it an invalid part of who I am. Bisexual people deserve just as much visibility as other GSM’s.
We’re in the name LGBT, but we are sadly underrepresented in a lot of areas. In my experience, when I figured out that I was bisexual, I was scared that no one else was. When I met my first queer friends, we were surprised to find out that there were now two bisexuals in the same circle.
That’s the thing; bisexuality is still pretty invisible, and people mistreat it when it is up in their faces.
- “Oh it’s just a trend.”
- “You’ll grow out of that phase.”
- “Bisexuals are sexy.”
Damn right we can be sexy, but we refuse to be turned into objects for your entertainment. Personally, I acknowledge that sexuality is fluid, but if someone identifies as bisexual, you have to respect that person as you would anyone else.
That’s all I’m really asking for because this part of me is not invalid; it’s just as different as anyone else’s parts.
