Bisexual

This is a community for bisexuals, their allies, friends, family, anyone curious about us or our community, or just people who want to hang out.

Bisexual means different things to different people, and I'm not going to tell you what it should mean to you. But one thing I will say is that being bisexual does NOT mean being trans-exclusionary. We love no matter what dingles, dongles, or dangles you do or do not have in your pants.

Of course, there are the basic rules. No hate speech, no brigading, no doxing, no homophobia, no transphobia, no sexism, no racism, no illegal material. Rules will be added as needed.

At the moment, we do not have a hard and fast rule over NSFW images or posts, but I will say that this is a community about bisexuality, not for porn. Please don't make me ban NSFW content altogether.

Given my Elder Millenial age group, the mid ninties as the birth of bisexuality rings pretty true on a personal level.

But as someone who thinks that bi is the most natural of sexualites, it's probably the only one that didn't need to be "invented". Homosexuality in the modern sense is quite recent (although same sex attraction itself is timeless) and heterosexuality seems to require an awful lot of policing and enforcement for something that's meant to be "natural"...

Whether the finger guns and leather jackets have always been part of bi identify remains a question for cultural archaeologists.

You can only be bi if you have short hair.

Knowing the ninties, at least one of those guys has a ponytail.

They probably had a similar news scroll in Greece back in 1200 BC 😆

The Greeks stole it from the Assyrians like everything else!

Can confirm: bisexuality didn't exist before The History Channel launched.

It was Robert Rubin's first official act as the newly appointed Secretary of Treasury, after Clinton's state of the union address in which he announced that a new sexuality would be formed. The new sexuality is widely considered to be the cause of the Dow's later 30 point gain to break 4,000 for the first time in history.

Damn, should have read those Newsweek magazines in the waiting rooms back in the day instead of Highlights, might have saved myself a lot of agony

Why are they all so menacing 😭

Zapp Brannigan: You can't trust a bisexual, Kif. You never know if you should insult them for not having a girlfriend, or not having a boyfriend.

Also I miss the cappuccino/cowboys war...
