I live in a UK city that has a reputation for being really gay-friendly, with great gay nightlife. Yet I have managed to find very few lesbians (the ones I do know are coupled-up and fully employed and this invariably means they don’t go out much) and exactly nobody who reads Autostraddle. This makes me super sad and also makes me wonder how I’m…[Read more]

I’m from Deville, Louisiana… I think I’m the only lesbian for miles. That’s what it feels like, anyway. Anyone from Louisiana in general? :P

Fencestraddlers 12 years, 3 months agothis feels sad, but true, guys:

Agreed. :/
I keep intending to make a shirt with a big ‘B’ on it to wear to Pride, to increase our visibility. But every year, I forget until it’s too late.-
makes me glad autostraddle exists :)

Yeah it would have been nice to see more bi shirts at pride, though I wore my “card-carrying bisexual” button.
Especially I saw some lesbian wearing a “bi now, gay later” shirt. Ugh.

Fencestraddlers 12 years, 3 months agoRegardless of how you identify, what do people think of this? http://www.thescavenger.net/glb/bisexuality-does-not-reinforce-the-gender-binary-39675.html In the article, the author explains why she identifies as bi rather than pan or something else. I personally feel like a lot of this resonates me in terms of why “bisexual” has always fit me…[Read more]

Fencestraddlers 12 years, 3 months agoI found a really cheering sticker on an escalator the other day: it said “Les bi existent; la biphobie aussi” which means “Bisexuals exist; biphobia, too”. I felt a bit more included.

Fencestraddlers 12 years, 3 months agohas any encountered parents who do not believe that bisexuality exists? the other day my mother told me that people who identify as bisexual are hurting the gay rights movement. because there’s no way you can be born bisexual. SHWAT.

My parents didn’t initially believe *I* was bi but they definitely believe in bisexuals in general (and they’ve come around about my sexuality, too). I’m sorry you’re dealing with that. It really enrages me when people say bisexuality doesn’t exist. I found out a lot of my gay guy friends think women can be bisexual but men can’t, and it…[Read more]

I’m surprised that anyone read this moan, actually. Cheers!
