Never in the history of the struggle against oppression in all its forms have we relied on the benevolence of the state. We have always, always relied on one another. We are still here, and we are never going away. Look out for your Black friends, your Brown friends, your Native friends your Muslim friends, your female friends, your gay friends, your trans friends. Stand in solidarity with one another. Show love for one another. Keep one another safe. This is going to be painful, but it’s going to be okay.
I want to specifically acknowledge that no amount of warm sentiment and camaraderie will prevent black and brown people from being brutalized and/or deported by the State. When you think about keeping people safe, please remember this, and listen to and stand behind those of color in any activism you undertake.
bi women, as much as lesbians, need support and comfort with regard to the compulsory heterosexuality that we all face. bi women need resources for coping with compulsory heterosexuality. bi women need compassion, love, and community with other bi women and with lesbians.
@ bi youth: your identity is whole. you are not half anything. you are completely bi. it is a whole identity, in and of itself: a real, lived actuality that carries its own history, culture, and pride. you do not need to search for any missing pieces, because being bi is complete, and it’s possible, and it’s you.
if you experience some level of attraction to men but don’t intend to date men and lesbian is the term you’re most comfortable with, congratulations, you’re a lesbian!
if you experience attraction to men but don’t intend to date men and don’t identify as a lesbian, that’s completely fine too!
other people do not know the nuances of your attraction and you do not have to break it down for anyone. you’re not faking it and you’re the only one who gets to decide how you identify.
