there are people who think bi people don’t have a place at lgbt+ pride events

there are people who hate bi people so much that they won’t even reblog a post that says “bi girls and lesbians” without getting rid of the “bi girls” part

there are people who will fight to cut bi people off from support that we need, and who dismiss us if we try and talk about why we need that support

there are people who argue that being forced into the closet is a privilege when it’s a bisexual person being forced, and that we should accept this “privilege” and be happy that people assume our sexuality incorrectly

there are people who think that biphobia isn’t real and that we’re just complaining about characters being mislabeled as gay or straight

there are people who define bi people by the relationships they have and decide our worth as people by our partner

biphobia is a real issue. it isolates bi people,  it separates us from the support of communities that we desperately need, and it makes people scared to be themselves in spaces that are supposed to be safe spaces, and it needs to be addressed and dealt with.
