Pride in London is the UK’s largest lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT+) event and parade and typically attracts an annual attendance of up to a million people into central London.
I know I’m Fucking Bisexual because women, men and everyone in between - or completely outside of the binary - are fucking hot.This Mayoral Decision is to approve a five-year (2018-2022) £500,000 funding plan to support delivery of Pride in London. I’m in a monogamous, long-term relationship with a man: I’M STILL FUCKING BISEXUAL. Of course, the reason I’ve never been with nor probably ever will be with a woman is because I met my boyfriend at 14 and have been with him ever since. How can I be bisexual if I’ve never been with a woman and have no desire to be with a woman? Others would refuse to believe that any genuinely, 100% straight person could ever doubt their sexuality so much.ĭue to the presence of bierasure, and the stereotype that me being with a boy makes me a Certified Heterosexual, and all of the above concerns, I am constantly worried that I’ve got it wrong. Some would refuse to believe I ever felt bisexual in the first place, due to the stereotype that its all for ‘attention’. I’ve thought about it and I’m straight after all.’ I get the impression they wouldn’t be so okay with it if tomorrow I suddenly woke up and declared ‘I got it wrong. I spent the first 17 years of my life thinking I was straight, and that was a mistake. Secondly, I think about my bisexuality every day because we live in a world where deviating from the norm (identifying as anything but heterosexual) is deemed a dangerous step into the unknown, at best. I definitely fucking am, if only to get to claim this gif as representative of me. What I’m saying is, before I highlight a positive that comes out of infighting for me personally, I know it’s because I’m privileged and relatively unaffected by the issues. The erasure of bisexuality affects me deeply (scroll to point 3), but at least I’m more visible than bisexual men. There was one positive for me, as I’m a white, cis, female.
There is not yet an upside to this, really, not one that I can offer for People of Colour, and other less visible members of the LGBT community. I did not know there could be so many divisions in one community. I knew about the existence of bierasure, gate-keeping, racism and general infighting in the LGBT+ community, but I didn’t know that the divisions ran so deep. There was a very visible presence of white gay men and women, but a frightening absence of people of colour. There was an extremely visible presence of attractive bisexual/gay girls, and gay men but barely any gender-non-conforming or binary-defiant trans-people. I saw cisgender people dictating which trans people were ‘trans enough’ for the community, trans-binary people policing trans-non-binary people, lesbians shaming bisexuals, pansexuals shaming bisexuals, and absolutely no bisexual men at all. I made this meme because I’m dedicated to bringing quality content, gay to your door.
