@lindseyannroy11 @TokenItalian@nowgocry@BUNNIMODER Do you really think that every single person in these replies saying they’d never date a bisexual man is exclusively referring to men who have had sex with men and as long as they hadn’t they’d have no problem with it?
@lindseyannroy11 @TokenItalian@nowgocry@BUNNIMODER The fact that some people falsely label themselves as bisexual to be part of the group doesn’t discount the existence of people who *are* bisexual, whether closeted or not, who haven’t had sex with members of the same sex.
@THEMDOLLAS @KlayKittle @spicy_buttock I used to not care about eating there until every other fast food place got a chicken sandwich that’s just as good and it became extremely easy to just not eat there. Now it just seems lazy to not boycott.
@mincemeep @kie023_@SuttholeBurfer @waurelfilmz @lgbtzenin Obviously calling bi people gay and excusing it when others do so contributes to bi erasure.
@kie023_ @mincemeep @SuttholeBurfer @waurelfilmz @lgbtzenin There’s no “if they don’t want to be called gay”. You should assume people want to be labeled by their actual label and not a different one unless you actually have a reason to believe they don’t care.
@kie023_@Abby_Aye@SuttholeBurfer @waurelfilmz @lgbtzenin You don’t need to apologize just don’t do it again. Don’t assume bi people are okay with being labeled as gay. Most are not. You don’t need to wait for someone to say they don’t like it. Would you misgender a trans person until they told you they didn’t like it? No.
@kie023_ @mincemeep @SuttholeBurfer @waurelfilmz @lgbtzenin Alright, just don’t insist bi people are gay again and have a good day. Let this be a learning experience.
@kie023_@Abby_Aye@SuttholeBurfer @waurelfilmz @lgbtzenin Did you ask her before you tweeted this?? You’re the one who needs to ask before you call someone gay. I don’t need to ask before I tell you that a lot of bi people don’t like that.
@kie023_ @mincemeep @SuttholeBurfer @waurelfilmz @lgbtzenin Can you leave bi people alone and stop insisting they are gay when they don’t want to be labeled in a way that contributes to bi erasure?
@mincemeep @kie023_@SuttholeBurfer @waurelfilmz @lgbtzenin Lol so after all that you admit it IS bi erasure but just tell me “it’s not that big of a deal focus on other things”? Maybe YOU should fight more worthy battles than defending bi erasure?
@mincemeep @kie023_@SuttholeBurfer @waurelfilmz @lgbtzenin There’s nothing wrong with people using gay to refer to homosexual elements of their sexuality. “yeah I’m so gay when I’m drunk” or “I’m in a gay relationship right now” are not the same as straight up labeling a bi person as gay. That’s not what’s happening here:
@mincemeep @kie023_@SuttholeBurfer @waurelfilmz @lgbtzenin You don’t see how lumping gay and bi people together under the term “gay”, which to the vast majority of people means “attractive to the same sex only” erasing the fact that bi people are attracted to the opposite sex as well?
