I love Queen because half of their songs are mind-blowing pieces about life and death and love and humanity’s inability to live together without destroying ourselves, and the other half are like “I love my bike”
actually there’s a third kind and it’s called “I’m Freddie Mercury And There’s Nothing You Can Do To Stop Me”
I need more support for bi girls who are in a straigth relationship and have never dated, had sex with or kissed another woman.
We are valid. I am valid. It isn’t because I haven’t experimented that I don’t know what attracts me sexually.
To take my own personal experiences: I had a giant crush on my (very, very straigth) best friend in high school. I was very much attracted to her. I have feelings of sexual attraction to the female body. I never kissed a single girl, and since I am currently in a straigth relationship in which I am EXTREMELY happy, and in which we both intend, if everything goes well, to spend the rest of our lives together, I probably never WILL experience being intimate with another woman, unless my relationship falls apart.
And like, this doesn’t make me a slut. I have talked about it with boyfriend a lot. He knows about my sexuality and even told me he’d be open to let me experiment. Thing is, I am a VERY,VERY loyal person. Heck, if I have a dream where I end up kissing or dating or having sex with someone else, thats usually how I end up lucid dreaming, cause I know I’d NEVER cheat on my man. And if I don’t ,I wake up from those dreams feeling distressed and like I ACTUALLY cheated on him. I value fidelity. The fact that I haven’t experimented with women doesn’t mean I’ll cheat on my man on the first occasion I get to frolick with a lady.
It also doesn’t mean that I am straight, or that I don’t belong in the LGBTQ community. I might have never had a relationship that wasn’t with a member of the opposite sex, IT DOESN’T MAKE ME STRAIGHT. Experiences do not define your sexuality, YOU DO. Yes, experiences can help you put a name on what you feel, help you classify yourself into a category if you so desire. But they aren’t the single things that define your sexuality.
TL;DR: BI GIRLS WHO NEVER WERE IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH ANOTHER WOMAN ARE STILL A VALID PART OF THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY. EXPERIENCES DO NOT DEFINE YOUR SEXUALITY.
(Ps: To follow up on the whole “Experiences don’t define your sexuality”, my boyfriend has kissed a guy before. Does that mean he’s gay? Does that have to mean he’s bi? Not even! He’s like the straigthest person I know.)
me sitting here two weeks before the midterm elections watching my twitter and tumblr feeds fill up w/ memes and discourse about how voting is useless and democrats aren’t gonna save us: uh guys? guys? hey guys? guys? you guys? guys? hey you guys? you guys? guys? uh guys? guys? guys? guys?
one of the most common tactics of the right isn’t to change who you vote for. they know that’s unlikely to work. it’s to do everything in their power to make sure you decide to stay home.
republican turnout wasn’t actually that high in the last election. democratic turnout was just fucking abysmal, because of attitudes like this.
DO NOT TRY TO PERSUADE PEOPLE TO VOTE FOR A CANDIDATE AT THE POLLS.
DO NOT ENGAGE IN ANY KIND OF POLITICAL DISCOURSE AT THE POLLS.
NO ELECTION IS EVER A SURE THING, EVEN IF YOU’RE IN THE BLUEST OR REDDEST OF STATES. IF SOMEONE TRIES TO TELL YOU THAT YOU CAN SIT THIS ONE OUT, THEY ARE EITHER IGNORANT OR MALICIOUS.
