Okay, I haven't looked at this kind of stuff for 15 years after figuring myself out, but after 15 years I'm ready to do something about the irrational anxiety that someone might hate on me for being not-straight and having a panic seizure every time something LGBTQIA...-related comes up "In Real Life." [If anyone has tips for that when Real Life consists entirely of work where 'no one needs to know,' let me know.]

Check this out: BiNet USA's Blog: 2013 Bisexual Fact Sheet. There are numbers there. Unnerving numbers that I'd never heard before. Oh good, it's not just me.

Sure, there's got to be skew if some people re-identify once they're happily partnered up, but for anyone who's said things must be easier 'on the fence' I've got a 4 times for you. So can we just agree that none of this shit comes easy?


If you know anyone bi, please be nice to them today.

If you've ever denied someone's identification as bi, please stop.

If you've never really thought about it because it's not your orientation, try a FAQ when you have a minute. Or if you know everything, have a flip through this in case you don't.

Thanks.



(Also, if you're looking at my Favorites and asking He's bi? - I'm also male, cis, and a transformation nut, so the fav button skews towards things I may have wanted to be, plus art by artists I'm watching who might not have a perfect 50/50 ratio in their output to begin with - neither is 'bi' always 50/50, and I was ready to ID as 'queer' to reflect that until I hit this and oh crap, my actual orientation needs me! It's not a logbook.)
