Exclusion of bisexuals
Every Pride Month, every queer convo, every dumb internet thread, same cycle. Bisexuals? Ignored, doubted, erased, or turned into a punchline. We're either "not gay enough," "too straight-passing," or "confused fence-sitters." You’d think we’re mythical creatures based on how often we get left out of our own community.

Newsflash:
Bisexuality is not a phase.. And it's not "privilege" to be attracted to multiple gneders.
It means we face homophobia and erasure, from outside and inside the queer comunity.

We’re constantly asked to “prove” ourselves, to pick a side, to shut up unless we’re dating someone same-gender. But that’s not how attraction works. That’s not how identity works!!!

You don’t stop being bi beacuse you're dating someone! You don’t become "less queer" because your relationship looks straight to a stranger!! And you don’t owe anyone a damn explanation for who you are!!

So yeah. This is me saying:
Stop gate keeping queer spaces.
Stop treating bi people like a punchline.

Are you bisexual?
Pride month is a political propaganda statement not a celebration, ignore them and focus on yourself rather than organised religion

Non exclusionary behavior? Why does it matter what's on the flag if we can't accept each other?
Ragebait
Complain to the right wingers, they promote maximal exclusion of everyone and everything that doesn't live the clockwork life.
I mean, think of it this way, how close to Chris do you really want to be?
Bisexuality is a bit awkward in a monogamous society because you can't date both sexes with only one partner. If you respect monogamy you kind of have to pick a lane. Also bisexuals can"pass" as straight because they can engage in heterosexual relationships.

But most importantly, heterosexual relationships have never been so taboo as homosexual relationships so any special privileges a bisexual might want are serviced by proxy through granting them to homosexuals anyway. Well, unless you want to knock monogamy down a peg so you can marry a person of each sex or something along those lines. Moreover, bigamy is a tough sell to the rest of society because marriage is supposed to be an anti-cheating arrangement, and even bisexuals tend to be monogamous. That's why bisexuals fall through the cracks: It's political advocacy, and they don't need particularly distinct changes in law that won't be covered by homosexual advocacy.

I suppose it's not out of character for left winger progressives, especially of the alphabet soup variety, to insist upon extending language inconveniently. I suppose going from "he or she" to express gender neutrality to 2SLGBTQQIPAA+++-+ and now I suppose "homosexual and bisexual" because "Look at me because I'm ever so slightly different and need to get special attention for no particular reason". Besides, bisexuals are part of the core L.G.B.T. series of initials, and even Trump's truncated L.G.B. version, so in that regard they're very visible. Ah wait no, "homosexual and bisexual" ain't enough because it erases the distinctions "Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual"I suppose?

Plus classifying your relationship isn't strictly about identifying you, but how you relate to your partner, so in that regard 'bisexual couples" don't exactly exist. The way i"dentification works" is that if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, then it's a duck.
