There Are No Closets In Tipis…
… and no pipelines, police, prisons, and weapons manufacturers in a Two Spirit LGBTQIA paradise.~Jen Deerinwater, a DC-based bisexual+, two-spirit, disabled, journalist, activist, and member of the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma. They were among those who protested the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL)atStanding Rock in 2016.
Deerinwater pointed to Capital PridesponsorWells Fargo’s involvement in the Dakota Access Pipeline, which spawned protests from the Standing Rock Sioux and allies, as one reason for concern, ‘Wells Fargo is one of the primary financial backers of the Dakota Access Pipeline,” she said. “As an indigenous person and as a queer person, I cannot understand why Capital Pride would work with an organization that is actively causing harm to our community members.” ~Indigenous Resistance: Crushing Colonialism

yknow, obviously there’s nothing wrong with someone who doesn’t wanna put a label to their sexuality, cause yknow people like different things and theres nothing bad abt someone not liking labels
but, the fact that almost every single character thats into multiple genders says that they just “dont like labels” or something along those lines is blatant biphobia
like, if it was one or two characters, then i wouldnt bat an eye, but considering its a trend for people to make their bi-coded character just “not like labels” is super fucking transparent
bisexual is not a bad thing, bisexual is not a dirty word, and it fucking sucks that 9/10 bisexual characters never actually call themselves bisexual
like, the only times i can think of characters who outright call themselves bisexual, is Darryl from Crazy Ex Girlfriend and like… there probably is more characters… but its pretty obvious that popular media thinks that bisexuality is a bad word, a taboo thing that must never, ever be stated
and i dunno about yall, but im fucking sick of my sexuality never being portrayed in a good light, im sick of seeing so few characters actually calling themselves bisexual, im sick of having so many bi woman characters just being hypersexualized and used to please men (i.e. having a bi girl whos bisexuality is only there for the male gaze), and im just sick of how people constantly portray ny sexuality
Bisexuality isnt bad and being bisexual is awesome, even if the media constantly tries to erase us or show us as awful
stop making bisexuals feel invalid in the lgbtq+ community, what we went through to figure ourselves out was just as hard as what you went through.
I meet people who hate labels. I don’t think labels are the problem.
(image: white text on pink, purple and blue background. text reads “the problem is not labels but the myths they carry. not “bi” but biphobia.” biphobia is underlined.)

FromThe Homeless LGBT Youth of NYC Are In Trouble from Kazimir Lee
Did you know?“Ahigher percentageofbisexual students reported running away from home one or more timescompared totheirgay and straight peers. In addition, more bisexual youth stated they werehomeless because of physical abuse by parents than their straight and gay peers. Gay, lesbian, and bisexual homeless youth also have greaterHIV risks and these risks are greateramongbisexual female youth. Therefore, stronger policies are needed to provide bisexual+ youth with safe environments to live that are off the streets.“ ~excerpt from“Caring for Bisexual+ Homeless Youth” by BRC (24 March 2016)
Did you know?Transgender people and people of colorcompriselarge portions of the bisexual community –– with more than 40 percent of LGBT people of color identifying as bisexual, and about halfoftransgender people describing their sexual orientationasbisexual or queer (according to various other research studiesBisexual is the largest self-identityforTrans people. Followed by percentages: Queer, Heterosexual/Homosexual, Other, and Asexual) –– making these groups vulnerable to further disparities that occur at the intersections of biphobia, racismandtransphobia.~from“Health Disparities Among Bisexual People” by HRC (September 2015)
