shame is for other people

Me: Hey, cool, this historical figure seems to have swung both ways
Homophobic Historian: THEY WERE STRAIGHT OMFG STOP READING THINGS INTO IT
Gay Historian: SO WHAT IF THEY WERE MARRIED SIX TIMES THEY WERE GAY GAY GAY
Me: But bisexuality exists and isn't that the most sensible thing to assume if we have actual evidence of them having had both male and female lovers?
Homophobic historian: THEY WERE CONFUSED AND IT WAS JUST A PHASE
Gay Historian: LA LA LA LA I CAN'T HEAR YOU GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY
Me: But Anaïs just wrote about how she wanted to faceplant in this woman's boobs, and Byron jumped from this chick's bed into this boy's pants and then this Mercury guy even self-identified as bisexual--
Homophobic Historian: LIES AND SLANDER
Gay Historian: GAY
Me: For fuck's sake

Sometimes I’ll just get really into girls and I’ll start to wonder if I’m just a lesbian who’s been lying to herself even more than she originally thought but then I’ll see a super hot guy and I’m like “Nope I definitely like both”

“

In some ways, the term “pansexual” came out of biphobia and a need to stipulate that one was not transphobic. If you take the binary view of “bisexual,” then a sexuality specific to an attraction to men and women could be seen as being noninclusive of transgender men and women. On the other hand, transgender men and women want to (and should) be seen as simply men and women, meaning that they would/should be included in that very binary; not including them tends to be much more phobic and noninclusive.

Then there is the thought that the binary view of bisexuality can be seen as phobic of anyone who identifies as genderqueer, or somewhere along the gender and sexuality spectrum, not identifying as male or female, man or woman. But, as I mentioned before, the true definition of “bisexual” is being attracted to those who are the same as me and those who are different from me, encompassing all genders and identities. The often-repeated argument that “bi means two” ignores a simple fact: “Same” and “different” are, indeed, two groups.

"GOD why does fandom have to make everyone GAY??"
