A message to individuals who are bisexual and harrassed.

This made my day. Thank you so muxh.

 

Isn't this hurtful to heterosexual and homosexual people though? I think all are great; what ever floats your biological boat [metaphorical].

 

I don't see why it is. It's like saying "It's okay to be gay". No one's saying that it's not okay to be straight or bisexual. In this case, OP's just reminding bi people that it's okay to be bi, which frankly a lot of us bisexuals need because we're often shit on for our own sexuality.

Frankly, thought this was cute.

 

I thought it could be hurtful because it wasn't anything good about any other sexuality, which in the future, when it's forgotten about why bisexuality needed encouragment, people could become monophobic - and I don't want that, I don't want biphobic either.

 

...how? So are you the kind of person that goes on Twitter and tells the Black Lives Matters folks that they can't protest unless they say All Lives Matter? I think you're honestly missing the point. Kind of funny how the bisexuals can't even say they're great until they have to put out a disclaimer saying "oh but we're not the only great people too." No one is saying monosexuals aren't great too. And I think we have a long time before we have to worry about bisexuality being the norm.

 

I understand that, however, it's not the future just yet, so y'know (*whispers* let me have this!!!)

Haha, anyhoo, thank you for the message, this made my day Puns 4 life bruh (!)

 

Why wouldn't all lives matter? And what's even the point? I'm bisexual, I think I'm cool but I think other people are aswell - I wouldn't want people in the future misinterpretating what I say and thinking I'm only saying myself is 'great'.

And no, I don't go on twitter.

 

Gay guy here, I think it's a cute message. I'm baffled why I should be offended.

 

Hello,

You're not offended? Could you tell me why you're not?

Thank-you.

 

...you know, when you consider how bisexuals are harassed and told their sexualities don't matter right NOW, I don't think we need to worry about what it's going to be like in several decades. The point is, we're depressed and doubting ourselves now.

And no one said anything about monosexuals not being awesome too. They are. The point is that maybe the bisexuals like me appreciate little, well-meaning reminders that we're just as legitimate as gay or straight people.

 

Could you tell me why I should?? 99,99% people here wouldn't either. It's clearly not an attack to monosexual, no one is saying "you just like one sex/gender? You're so lame!!"

 

No offence, but you seem to be overreacting a little bit. It's a pun. And even if it wasn't, the message is not offensive. It literally just says 'screw the haters, being Bi is great.' It's not like it says "BEING BI IS THE BEST ALL THE GAYS CAN GO DIE IN A HOLE, BECAUSE WE ROCK AND YOU SUCK!!!"

I understand what you're getting at, but it just comes across as you trying to make an issue where there isn't one.

 

I worry about the people of the future reading it as such. I should worry about the future because it's a future my children, grandchildren [and so on] could be living in, and I wouldn't want them to suffer.

 

The irony is, this was intended to be a light-hearted thread about how Biphobia can't keep us down, and then it just all went to shit :/

I know I'm sorry if it sounded like I was accusing you of being Biphobic. I don't think that at all, and I'm sorry if it came across that way.

 

I'm going to drift a bit, but I feel I need a label saying "please tell me the intent of your message before you say it to me otherwise I'm probably going to take it the wrong way", because I do this a lot.

 

I didn't see any biphobia nor accusation of biphobia either! I must be the only sane man here! *facepalm*

Moral of the thread: everything will be misinterpreted eventually?

 

Welcome to wonderland Alice we're all mad here.
One: bl phobia does exist.
Two: black lives matter.
Three: all lives matter.

And lastly: I'm really craving cheese cake XD.

 

I have children and I have grandchildren. They would find it funny.

The future is what we make it, and how our kids react to it is, in a large part, up to us. After a long convo with my eldest son yesterday, I know I've done a great job with him, and he is, in turn, doing a great job with his kids.

Don't worry about what is probably never going to happen. Our kids, and our grand kids, will be fine. We bring them up to think for themselves, and that is what they will do. And they won't be offended by a pun.
