“Sadly, there is a certain necessity, a certain self-protection in silence. Statistically, bisexual women are nearly twice as likely to experience domestic violence… The trope of heterosexual men asking for three ones with their bisexual partners is an eye roll, an annoyance, but this kind of thinking, this equating bisexuality with complete sexual openness and desire to please men, possibly so they won’t leave you, can be much more serious.”

“I am married and monogamous. Not much of a bisexual you say. Yet my bisexuality influences my perception and my decisions. More than having sexual relations with both genders, bisexuality is a mind frame, a reference point from which to view the world. Being bisexual has more to do with potential than actuality.”
- Amanda Yoshizaki, Bi Any Other Name: Bisexual People Speak Out
“Students felt that bisexuality was invisible within LGBTQ+ campus spaces in more ways than one. For example, they noted that their LGBTQ+ spaces were demographically homogeneous, frequented predominantly by cisgender gay and lesbian students. They also felt the LGBTQ+ campus spaces to which they had access upheld very particular depictions of what queer identities should look like, and bisexuality often did not fit into those depictions, additionally, they all noticed a lack of bisexual representation within the programming done by LGBTQ+ offices and organisations. Programmes offered were either completely exclusive of bisexuality or inadequately represented bisexuality when compared with lesbian and gay identities. Overall they were frustrated by the lack of bisexual representation in LGBTQ+ campus spaces. They often needed to take matters into their own hands by hosting educational opportunities around bisexual identities, history, and issues, and creating bisexual-specific spaces. Basically, they felt that as bisexual students, if they wanted bisexual representation, they had no choice but to represent themselves.”

“Our oppressors gain ultimate control when we do their work for them… When lesbians and bisexual women spend our energy fighting each other about who loves women more, our enemies score a point for keeping us divided and therefore less able to join forces against heterosexism.”

when the guy is cooking and his gf comes up behind him and gets her hands in under his shirt to run them up to his chest and kiss his neck the mood is frankly divine and the vibes are simply pristine
