Very Serious Responses To Unintelligent Insults

Submit a biphobic comment with your own wonderous spin on it! After all, the arguments against the existence of bisexuality are so ridiculous, they deserve equally nonsensical replies.

Hi, I'm still in the closet bisexual girl. I've known for more then a year and half, and last month was when I told 6 of mu closet friend. They all were happy for me, but I think their the only ppl I'm going to be able to tell. I find it hard to trust ppl, and when it concerns my family who are both homophobic (my auntie saying things such as, "I don't understand bi ppl, their just greedy) and racist (I'm attracted to POC and my dad would kill them.) What should I do?

I don’t know why you feel like you have to do anything, and I think you’ve answered your own question! You’ve already said that you’ve come out to the people you trust and feel comfortable coming out to. Ultimately, it’s your decision, but I don’t see why you need to tell your family anything if it’s not going to make you happy, or cause undue stress or conflict.

As I’ve mentioned before, I have issues with the whole concept of “coming out” - People tend to turn it into this pivotal moment, when really it’s just you sharing one aspect of yourself with people.

So this is an aspect that you don’t feel comfortable sharing!

No big deal!

Remember, you can come out to
- Who you want
- How you want
- When you want
- If you want
And, uh, I mean, I am not a POC, and so I’m uncomfortable saying anything further (checkin’ mah privilege yo), but why wouldn’t you be attracted to POC? People are people are people are people. Skin colour should never be a deciding factor.

In dealing with racist parents, I guess I would just suggest never revealing the fact that you are dating a POC of the same sexual orientation as yourself. Or, if it’s what you want to do, then do! It all depends on you, really.

But personally, I would take some key factors into account:
1. Do you live with your family?
2. Are you financially dependent on your parents?
These are things you need to consider when gauging your family’s reactions. It might just be easier to wait until you’ve moved out of the house and are living an independent live to reveal your sexual orientation to your family.

Again, you are under no obligation to make your family aware of your sexual orientation. If you don’t want to, you don’t have to.

However, this is not an advice blog, I am absolutely in no way qualified to give advice on this matter, and I have probably just rambled incoherently, so if I were you I would check out these:
- Here is a (slightly humorous) list of ‘24 Coming Out Tips’.
- Here is the advice on ‘Coming Out As Bi’ from the Bisexual Resource Centre.
- Here is advice on coming out from the Bisexual Index.
- Here is an LGBT advice and support tumblr page.
AND ONE MORE TIME, ALL TOGETHER NOW

YOU ARE UNDER NO OBLIGATION TO COME OUT. TO ANYONE. EVER.

I hope I was of some help! GOOD LUCK SOLDIER.

I feel like such a bad bisexual. I still sometimes think things like “why do I feel this way? why can’t I just pick a side?” and “is there something wrong with me?” aaaand my favorite “why won’t either side accept me?”. And then there’s the “I really want to be in a poly relationship but I don’t want to people accuse me of being selfish/a whore/a stereotype/just looking for attention”. Gah. What do I do?

1. There is no such thing as a bad bisexual.
2. There is no such thing as a bad bisexual.
3. There is no such thing as a bad bisexual.
4. You don’t have to pick a side. That’s basically what being bisexual is all about.
5. No there is nothing wrong with you. That’s silly. You’re awesome. Stop saying that. Now.
6. ‘Either side’ sounds like they’re being a giant bag of dicks that need a little education in biphobia. ‘Fraid I can’t answer that one, if I could I’d be solving homophobic, sexist and racist problems everywhere! All you can do is stay true to yourself, and hopefully educate a couple of dumbasses on the way.
7. Hearing about anyone, from any group (race, religion, sexuality, etc), not doing something that they want to do because they’re afraid they’ll fulfill a stereotype makes me hulk out. THAT IS BULLSHIT. DO WHAT YOU WANT, BRO.
8. Do what makes you happy.
9. If I were you, I would find a Proper Advice Blog, that will probably give you far more coherent advice then I ever could.
10. Hug it out.
11. No, come on, get in here, let’s hug this bitch out.
12. Aw yeah.
