Anyway I'm bi or whatever and pride month always leaves a bitter fucking taste in my mouth because of how biphobic both straights and other queers can be. Is it so hard to take me seriously?

I'm neither gay nor straight, I'm bisexual and I prefer to use that term over pansexual, but I'm into a lot of different "types" of people. It's like being attracted to people of the opposite gender as well makes me somehow less valid? Even to the point that this is somehow "not an issue?"

Am I a joke? A lot of gays don't take bi erasure seriously. It's like they're saying, "Oh haha, that's just the thing that they're upset about, but they're not a real gay/haven't settled on their identity so it's not a problem." Don't you dare fucking infantilize us. We're fully part of the community and it's not YOUR place to evaluate our queerness. To determine if it's "enough." How terribly offensive.

If you're talking about how you can "turn" people and convert bisexual people, or how bisexual people ruin gay and lesbian spaces, or about how we're "experimenting," or somehow less committed than anyone else, you should be ashamed. We're right there with you pushing for a better society and to shit on us like this makes me so angry.
