Bi Gay: When you’re bi but your attraction leans towards the same (or similar) gender. As in, you have a stronger attraction to the same gender, or become attracted easier to people of the same gender. Similar to homoflexible.

As I say daily, “Bi is not binary” (thinking of making t-shirts and a banner at this point).

So grateful for the consistent advocacy of so many fellow non monosexual community members working hella hard to disprove a fallacy that murders bi, pan, fluid, queer (bi+) people by isolating them from each other and the full embrace of a 50 year old bisexual movement started by self described punks, freaks, and waaaaaay outside the binary box thinkers. How dare anyone try to redefine our identity against us.

I’ve decided to protest that wherever I go, wherever I be…sorry/not sorry, if that bothers you…

Our theme for the contingent this year is Save The B’s! Just as bees (and other pollinators) are an integral part of our natural ecosystem, bisexuals are an integral part of our queer community. We’ve made LG(bee)T signs for people to carry, bee costumes are highly encouraged, and we’ll have a bunch of chenille stems to make antennae on the morning of the parade, as well. Giant B placards or balloons! are welcome and encouraged too.

TheBay Area Bisexual Network(BABN) is based in San Francisco with members from all over the Bay Area. Our mission is to develop a healthy, vibrant, multicultural bisexual community in the San Francisco Bay Area and to promote better understanding of bisexual lives and issues within the larger lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer (LGBTIQQ) community and the public.

(all quotes taken from the publicly available City of West Hollywood Lesbian and Gay Advisory Board 11/12/15 minutes: http://binetusa.blogspot.com/…/bi-weho-city-council-event-j…)

“…if bisexual people want to have their own board, the City should do that, but that it would not be serving bisexual people well to have their issues combined with others.”

“…spoke against having a separate board, because younger people are moving toward not defining themselves in these ways…”

“…the Board could ask the City Council to begin a Bisexual Task Force.”

ED. NOTE. The LA Bi Task Force regularly holds events and meetings in West Hollywood. 

“…the Board is barely able to get through the agenda it already has, without adding an additional subject.”

“…moved to ask the City Council to consider whether there is a need to form a Bisexual Task Force to do a needs assessment of the bisexual community.”

ED. NOTE. The LA Bi Task Force published a bisexual needs assessment of Greater Los Angeles in 2015, and hosted the launch of the needs assessment in the community room at Plummer Park in West Hollywood.

“…supports the idea of asking the City Council to consider a Bisexual Task Force, but that she had joined a Lesbian and Gay board.”

“…talk to their own Councilmembers to see if there is a need for this in the community, and if so, to possibly come back with it in the future.

”…said the Board spends a large majority of its time on gay issues, and that people of all orientations might be better served by having one large board.“

”…said members were appointed to represent their particular identity as gay or lesbian, and that he didn’t want to presume to speak on someone else’s identity.“

“said that we are moving toward having one voice as a community, and would like to help people form an LGBT task force, seeing the changing nature of the community…”

bidyke:

I’m bothered by the discussion around Amber Heard revolving around the notion that “bisexuality doesn’t justify violence”. Not because it’s untrue, but because it’s superficial.

The real issue here is that women are punished by patriarchy for being bisexual. That our bisexuality is perceived as such a threat to cishet masculinity that physical violence seems an appropriate response to it. That women’s bisexuality is a punishable crime.

This whole discussion demonstrates the power dynamics around women’s bisexuality and the depth of sapphobia (misogyny against bi women) in society. The terms of the discussion should move beyond apologetics (i.e. we don’t deserve this) and into in-depth explorations of why this violence is perceived as acceptable.
