Bi pride <3

For all the Bis out there in straight passing relationships, here’s some representation 💕 I see you, I feel you, I know the fear of not being queer enough, the feeling of not belonging in the LGBTQIA+ community but also not in this heteronormative society, the feeling of being too much or not quite enough for both. But it’s all internalized biphobia. You’re enough, you’re valid, it’s called lgBtqia+ for a reason and obviously being bisexual means straight people can be an option. It’s okay to love who you love. I personally felt like I was whining about a privilege (straight passing) for a long time, like my feelings weren’t reasonable, but then I learned that bisexuals are actually even more affected by mental health issues than gays and lesbians – not to invalidate their struggles though, homophobia is real and rampant and hurting a lot of people. But it helped me realize I’m not making this up. Constantly being erased is upsetting. So yeah, you have a lot of reasons to feel that way and it’s okay, a lot of other bisexuals feel this way too and you’re never not queer enough for Lgbtqia+ or whatever you’re telling yourself. We need to actively work to unlearn this biphobic nonsense. You’re valid if you’re in a monogamous relationship with a straight person, you’re valid if a gay person is your monogamous partner, you’re valid if you’re with a nonbinary person, queer person or ace or pan person, and you’re valid if you’re in a poly relationship or with no one at all. Being Bi doesn’t mean you always want someone and it also doesn’t mean that, if you are with someone, that has to change frequently. You don’t need to prove anything to anyone. If you know you’re Bi, you’re Bi, that’s it. So happy Bi visibility day to you 💕💜💙
PS: if you’re pan-, omni- or polysexual, the same goes to you. I see you and you deserve to be seen. You and your struggles are valid 💕
