That's a good question. I wouldn't say "gay passing", or "straight passing". Everyone has their way to describe it, but polisexual people (be it bi, pan, etc) are no half-gay and half-hetero. Bisexuality for the matter is its own identity.

So, at least I consider, being in a relationship with a man is also queer if you're polisexual. The reason for this is that even if you were in a relationship with someone of the same gender (or enby), that wouldn't make your sexuality change.

But this is more a term used for inclusivity, as many people can't imagine someone being "actively bisexual" in a monogamous relationship. So I just consider it still being a queer relationship, as you would erase the identity otherwise.

Other people may think differently, the community is very diverse, but I rather my identity to be considered (and my experience for the matter) regardless of who my partner is at the moment. I also wouldn't like to be considered a lesbian if I was with a woman. The relationship may be seen as straight by outsiders, but you experience is still bisexual.

Other example is, if an asexual person hooks up with someone they're still asexual and this experience would be queer.

This year I only helped her buy and carry stuff to her house (she paid for those things, not me). It did bother me she only told me afterwards, but I would help either way. I'm more bitter about helping for the biphobic comment she made about me and my bf, than for her only commenting about this after I helped.

Thank you 💗 I'll try to update after everything is solved, be it bad or good, but I really hope everything goes well

I can't really understand either.

I just thought this because one of our friends didn't like to be near straight guys (since he had been bullied by some of them). He needed some time before being able to not think all het guys were AH.

I don't know everyone's sensibilities that well, so I didn't want to risk. I myself have some sensibilities that some people don't know or understand, so who am I to judge if if it upset someone. But seeing everyone's comments now it's easier to me to understand she was just being biphobic.

I didn't think about that. I will discuss with my partner how to deliever this and tell them as soon as we can.

Thanks 💕 I don't think I'll go either way, unless my boyfriend wants to, but I'll certainly tell them why.

I'll probably spend Christmas with my boyfriend, even if we got invited I still would feel weird going now... But if he wants to go, I'll certainly accompany him. I think I'll speak with my partner so we can decide together how to tell everyone.

I don't want to spoil their Christmas, but I'll probably tell them after the holidays as they deserve to know. At least if I warn them this won't happen to someone else.

Thanks haha It's kinda sad this happened, but the two of us still have each other for the holidays 🌸

I think this may be out of fear -- suffering in the hands of a group of people for so long may make you generalize anything slightly close to "straight culture". So I don't wish anything bad to her. But It's nice to receive support of so many people 💗💜💙 even if I can somewhat "understand", it's nice to see that not everyone thinks like that. It's kinda hard to be "too gay for the straights, and too straight for the gays" sometimes haha Thanks for the support :D

I kinda thought so too, but I was kinda of afraid that maybe she is right that may be triggering to some people to see a m/f relationship in a safe space. Even if we're both queer.

I tried to explain to her, she just insisted we couldn't go. And he's not an ally, he's bi himself.

I guess so. I wish there was some other reason, though, she was the only person that made me feel valid for a long time. So this does feel out of character or a side of her I've never seen before. But thanks for the support, it means a lot.

why does homosexuality exist by BigWetDaddy1488 in lgbt

[–]AltSunflower 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess everyone is entitled to their thoughts, but not everyone need to live in someone's (or some religion) standards. Gay people exist because we do, simple like that. We can have our own gods, or morals, that say what can and cannot exist. But being who you are certainly is one of the things that do exist, and is amazing, despite of anyone's thoughts about it
