Queerbaiting rule
(lemmy.blahaj.zone)
Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.
Rule: You must post before you leave.
I have a bi ex who broke up with me because she knew her lesbian friend group would ostracize her for dating a man. The queer community can be incredibly discriminatory against the bi part of itself
It's always been the case unfortunately. Biphobia is as rampant among the LGBT community as homophobia is in the world at large. All the things that homophobes do to gay men, they'll happily turn around and do to bi men.
Yeah my partner and brother are both bi and there is a strong sense that they're being made to pick a side. I have no problems with her having a girlfriend in addition. Honestly it'd be good for her, but I also think she wouldn't be terribly successful going into it with a male partner and several kids. Maybe with other bi women but they'd probably think she was unicorn hunting.
Or the trans part of itself. Or the questioning part of itself. Or probably the lesbian and gay parts, let alone the +. It sucks, but it turns out queer folks are just, well... Folks. So we gotta work on that.
sad to see that the scene from chasing amy still rings true
