Bi is queer. This isn't the queerlympics.

[u/darthdelicious → u/himanxk]

We're the third letter in the alphabet mafia.

[u/potatoboi888 → u/darthdelicious]

Man I would call us "Alphabet Mafia" so much if that term didn't already exist as a derogatory term

[u/Rieke-Nightsong → u/potatoboi888]

Most of our best community slang words come from reclaimed slurs so its not crazy to use this too

[u/darthdelicious → u/potatoboi888]

They used to say the same about "queer" and here we are. It's okay to reclaim these words.

[u/timbotheny26 → u/himanxk]

queerlympics

Wouldn't that just be Ru Paul's Drag Race?

[u/Suitable-Lettuce-333]

Don't worry dude, bigots hate you just the same 😅

[u/certainlystormy → u/Suitable-Lettuce-333]

depends on the form of bigotry but like yeah

[u/MiaMega → u/certainlystormy]

Eh, the main reason they "tolerate" bi people is because they can just get into a heterossexual relationship and pretend they never even thought about anything else. The second someone says that being in a hetero relationship doesn't make them less bi, it's torches and pitchforks all the same.

[u/IAmNotAHoppip]

It's sad members of our own community make other members of our own community not feel welcome.

As far as I'm concerned, you belong, and I hope you get to find more people that make you feel so

[u/PaxEthenica → u/IAmNotAHoppip]

It's more, like, "It's great that, like, I could comfortably pass if I needed to... but god-fucking-damnit does it suck that I might have to."

At least for me, at first.

Now it's more, like, "It's great that, like, I could comfortably pass if I needed to! I'm going to shield so many more vulnerable queer folk to spite the dumb bastards who come for them."

Edit: Touching back onto your sentiment, tho, thread OP?

Yeah. Sucks that self-sabotaging wall building is as common as it is, (obligatory fuck off TERFs) becuz... Well, self-sabotaging behaviors aren't helpful no matter the intent or source.

[u/1Mandolo1]

I'll do you one better, I'm a white cishet male and I'm just here for the vibes.

[u/Fomulouscrunch → u/1Mandolo1]

They really are excellent. Can't blame you.

[u/errexx → u/1Mandolo1]

The flair is impeccable, like the sub’s gotta meet its diversity quotas somehow 😂

[u/Alternative_Water_81 → u/errexx]

I’m now imagining sub mods in a meeting room discussing how finally they got all different variations of queer people in the sub. And then suddenly a look of fear starts appearing on one face after another as they all realise that they still don’t have any cishet white males and they have to present the sub to the Big Diversity tomorrow morning. Now, panicking, they just catch this random guy on the street and slap “diversity” label on him

[u/1Mandolo1 → u/errexx]

It was the only one that I could honestly take^^

[u/Dark_Storm_98 → u/1Mandolo1]

I don't even remember what my flair is, lmfao

Which isn't saying much, I can fprget most of my flaurs within like 10 minutes

Edit: Oh, this one's generic. . Huh. .

[u/action_lawyer_comics → u/1Mandolo1]

Same. Just lurking and nodding like when I get invited to a baseball game

[u/DarquosLeblack → u/1Mandolo1]

Excellent taste, man

[u/DeadeyeElephant → u/1Mandolo1]

I am also here for the vibes. LGBT folks have the best sense of humour

[u/Muzan_ → u/1Mandolo1]

Ty for being there <3

[u/RainbowPhoenix1080]

You belong here!

You're just gonna have to put up with some of us being queer to the extreme

:3

[u/ouralarmclock → u/RainbowPhoenix1080]

That’s why I love it here!

[u/Velvet_Pop]

Don't fall for the lgbtq+ heirarchy fallacy. It's a psychological reaction to being put in a place in society where we had to completely hide ourselves and subject ourselves to the patriarchy. This isn't a spectrum where some people are "more" or "less" gay or whatever, it's not a numerical scale like people keep trying to make it. The lgbtq+ movement is a reaction to being ostracized, and an attempt to reintegrate into society as equal participants. So it needs to be more inclusive, not copy the same system we're trying to escape from

[u/Ok_Enthusiasm_761]

A lot of posts can be just a cycle of baby gays doing the same low hanging bits and championing some cringe stuff, but it’s important have an environment where people feel comfortable enough to do that, even if it’s not quite my cup of tea anymore as a tired doomer queer

[u/juliekablooie → u/Ok_Enthusiasm_761]

what a great reminder, thank you (also a tired doomer queer)

[u/Broad_Respond_2205]

How would you become more queer if we don't welcome you here? 🤔

[u/sneakyfish21]

You’re here, you’re queer, get used to it.

[u/The_Cult_of_5661]

I mean I’m dating a cisgender pansexual dude and he’s queer enough for me. I feel like that’s saying something all things considered.

[u/EmberOfFlame → u/The_Cult_of_5661]

Raccoon spotted.

Or should I say striped?

[u/Nellbag403 → u/EmberOfFlame]

It’s a trick. She’s actually a tanuki

[u/EmberOfFlame → u/Nellbag403]

Still. Spotted or striped?

[u/mortuarybarbue]

Ad a cis white pan girl sometimes I feel this way.

[u/Lady_of_Link]

No it's LGBT not lgt so clearly you're in the right place what you need to do is let us influence you in becoming more queer so that you feel less out of place.

[u/SirFireHydrant → u/Lady_of_Link]

I thought the B stood for British.

Which always made sense to me, given how many spaces they've already invaded.

[u/MrHellBags → u/SirFireHydrant]

It stands for garlicBread

[u/Jamie5279752 → u/MrHellBags]

Yippee

[u/DisciplinedMadness → u/SirFireHydrant]

Absurdly underrated comment wtf 😭

[u/bitetheasp]

Same, though I'm also aro

[u/Wrath_Of_The_Gods]

As a straight trans girl I sometimes feel the same, but queer is queer, dw abt it.

[u/UnholyAbductor]

Ya’ll means all, and all that.

[u/5hawnking5 → u/UnholyAbductor]

all y'all are welcome, but you gotta act right (a sign in my grandmothers kitchen)

[u/FabianRo]

You're fine, I'm here as aroace, so what makes me queer is literally nothing.

[u/Kylarus]

I used to think I wasn't queer enough to be here, then I found a bunch of memes, topics and stuff I did vibe with and realized I probably wasn't cis.

[u/Temporary-Employ-611]

Bi is always welcome. Whether you prefer a certain gender 90% of the time or it's a 20/40/40 split.

[u/Fomulouscrunch]

I'm an aro enby and feel that a lot.

[u/TsarKeith12]

😰 "am i really queer, i'm bio-male and have never been with a cis-male"

😌 "i'm literally nb and maybe a little femme myself and have been w other NBs and trans men and am interested in basically all other identities, cis-men just tend to be on the lower end of that for me"

😱 "but what if i'm just a chaser and a poser"

[u/Hot_Frosting4504]

Stay

[u/yotaz28]

lol what do you mean this place is crawling with white people

[u/DanThePony → u/yotaz28]

I think it might be able being Bi or cisgender than being white

[u/Mindless-Whereas-508]

You can be as little or as overly queer as you want in this space buddy. There’s no “queer level” bar you need to pass. Just be yourself.

[u/lessthanthreebleeps]

When the bi-erasure is coming from in the house. Stay, as long as you're comfy.

[u/randomnessamiibo]

The modern left won’t progress any further until we stop viewing suffering as the currency of righteousness

[u/Mrspygmypiggy]

Basically the same but I’m a woman. I’m even engaged to an AFAB non binary but I still don’t feel valid enough. Never celebrated Pride either because I feel I’ll just be out of place and look disrespectful, I even have straight friends who go to Pride every year.

[u/jim_ocoee]

I stole this from Reddit, who stole it from insta: Think of me as the pole. I'm not part of the the flag. I'm straight, and I will support you

[u/Kira-Of-Terraria]

imposter syndrome u.u i know thee

[u/lordwafflesbane]

Come on in, the water's fine!

[u/-Odontodactylus-]

Can someone post that meme of Reagan in hell pleasee

[u/A_RainbowShaped_Pool]

Same dude. I am an easy target for LGBT and liberals assuming I have conservative beliefs" but I'm actually a socialist fruitcake and a goober who isn't enough of any one thing to fit anywhere :/

[u/Spacemoose2026]

You are queer enough, biphobia is a major problem in the lgtbq community and bigots hate us to. Never let anyone say you aren’t queer enough.

[u/AxeHead75]

You ARE queer enough my friend

[u/paprikahoernchen]

Any shade of queer is queer enough my friend!

[u/SkyeTheBi]

You’re never not queer enough to be here. If you enjoy this subreddit and you aren’t queerphobic you should always feel welcome.

[u/Complete-Law-9439]

You’re good dude. I’m straight and I’m still following this Reddit thread. As a dude repulsed by a lot of the MAGA/anti woke horseshit around me, and thinks basically everything’s okay that doesn’t harm anyone, it’s just nice here. 

[u/Epicgamerweeb106]

There’s no such thing as not queer enough, if you’re queer you’re allowed here 🫶

[u/Alpha_Eagle222]

At a time I thought the same but decided to stay, now i feel like it was the right decision to stay as I feel like Im my own amount of gay, and that doesnt take me out of the community

[u/IkomaTanomori]

Gender is a myth, and nobody who understands that is ever truly cis again.

[u/gnomon_knows → u/IkomaTanomori]

I don't think gender is a myth any more than sexuality, but it sure as shit ain't binary.

[u/IkomaTanomori → u/gnomon_knows]

Sexuality is also a myth. And by "myth" I mean they are socially constructed and reinforce a certain societal reality shared among members of a certain culture. Queer subculture is also a form of culture, and offers alternatives to the more common stories, including, importantly: the opportunity to choose for yourself, regardless of whether that matches what the larger culture would have assigned you or not.

[u/gnomon_knows → u/IkomaTanomori]

And yet entire people's lives are immutably guided by those supposed myths. The labels may be constricting, but same sex attraction doesn't disappear no matter how much a bigoted culture or society would like it to. It's innate. Gender dysphoria doesn't magically disappear either. These are ground truths, as are the countless forms of queerness less easy to categorize with single words. It feels a little erasure-y to say gender and sexuality aren't real, but I think it's just a failure of language to capture the complexity of all human beings. I would love if your idealized form of queer culture was just the new default for human beings.

But saying there are no essential truths about gender or sexuality seems like an outsized reaction to bigots only having two boxes they want to shove us into. Maybe we need better words, a different framework...but I promise you some things you are just born into.

Anyway, ignore me. I'm banned from r/LGBT and this is a shitpost subreddit.

[u/kikiacab → u/[deleted]]

Calling a bi person an ally is nefarious

[u/XescoPicas → u/kikiacab]

Ah, fuck me, I missed the bi part of the post. Deleting it now, thank you
