    You are only bisexual if you are engaged in sex with two people of the opposite sex simultaneously.

    Otherwise, you’re just Schrodinger’s Gay.

        How does a straight threesome work? (I suppose every participant could be straight but it seems like two might be weirded out by eachother, no?)

          it’s like a proxy connection, the client and remote server both interact with the proxy server, but they don’t interact directly with each other

      While the joke is indisputably funny, it’s important to remind everyone that it’s still a harmful stereotype. Bi/pan erasure is a genuine problem. You don’t stop being bi/pan simply because you enter a monogamous relationship.

        More seriously, I think erasure is only part of it. Lots of LGBTQ folks deliberately remain in the closet for the sake of family relationships, careers, and local politics.

        If you’re bi, it’s just easier.

        But that heterosexual camouflage does get confusing to process when you “come out”. Especially with the reactionary attitude that heterosexuality is a choice.

    The most biphobic people I’ve ever seen are gay people. They hate bi people more than your average straight homophobe hates gay people. It’s really weird.

    I always figured bi (or pansexual) was the default setting for humans. Most guys at least are flexible, if there is not a woman around any port in a storm, and if you weren’t raised with any conditioning it seems more normal to love individuals, not categories.

      There is no default. You like what you like. That’s my opinion at least. If everyone minded their own damn business this wouldn’t be a topic of discussion anyway

        Yep.

        I want to look like a question mark specifically to fuck with people who think it’s their business.

        Mind your own shit. People are so nosy. That David bowie interview when he gets almost livid with the guy for asking is my favorite. Such an invasive culture.

    I don’t know why bisexuals are memed as being given a hard time for being bisexual, and I am too afraid to ask at this point.
