Reblog if you think Glee could never get away with treating another sexual orientation like they treat bisexuality.
… um… when did this happen? Because I’m pretty sure it didn’t. And wouldn’t. Ever. So I’m going to assume this is actually about Blaine and BIOTA, or even about Santana’s comments regarding her sexuality…
How about “I like guys and I like girls — I’m a lesbian.”
Or “I kissed a girl and liked it and you know what, we actually have chemistry— lol nope, 100% gay!”
Or “Bisexual is a term that gay guys in high-school use when they wanna hold hands with girls and feel like a normal person for a change!”
Brittany is bi, but it’s treated as a joke and a stereotype, while the “100% gay” characters get full story arcs… Hmm…
I think a huge part of the problem is that so much of the fandom and parts of the media have expressed some level of agreement with these things, because so much of society tends to speak about LGBTQ+ characters in the same way. Everyone is seen as either straight or gay or lesbian, no exceptions. Two characters or people of the same sex or gender together instantly means they’re both gay, no exceptions. Intentional or not, erasure is everywhere, and Glee and the fandom are no exception. Every comment I see about Blaine “going back into the closet” because he liked kissing a girl, or when someone starts a mini-riot about how “making him bi is out of character for someone who’s so sure they’re really gay. He has to be a role model! He’s a fraud!!!” I want to scream.
If this scene had happened, there would have been riots. Replace lesbian with bi and you have BIOTA. (Though the scenario is still a little different… Santana is Blaine and I assume Finn is meant to be Kurt here but Blaine kissed Rachel, not Kurt so… Well, the last line wouldn’t make as much sense. Finn there is Rachel, not Kurt. But point still made. And I’ll say it again, fandom— bi guys still generally like other guys. Hence the whole bi part. Which no one ever seems to understand as they scream about losing their precious Klaine… [sigh])
And I’m pretty sure the only thing taken less seriously than bisexuality is asexuality.

Bisexual Men are Sexy.
Don’t You Forget It.
ChristineLeeM:
Disclaimer—I am not saying all bisexual men are nerdy, were nerds or were nerds because they didn’t know they were bisexual. This is just a cutesy play-off of the common “I used to be a tomboy, but now I’m a full-grown lesbian” photos.
I edited this image because I thought it was important for such an image to be put out there.
There are phrases out there, said by lesbian or gay people, emphasizing the magnitude of their gayness, such as: “I’m a big o’ lesbian,” “I’m such a big homo,” “I’m so gay,” “I’m the biggest dyke ever,” and of course, the phrase in which I stole my idea from, “I used to be a tomboy, but now I’m a full-grown lesbian.”
For some reason, there is no such thing as being “so bisexual,” or “such a big bisexual,” and bisexuals are not seen as a “full-grown” anything. Bisexuality is hardly seen as anything that you can be completely engrossed in or a part of, because bisexuality does not fall within the dichotomy of heterosexuality and homosexuality and is often invisible; bisexuality is seen as half straight and half gay, or not straight enough and not gay enough, instead of wholly bisexual.
I’d like to see bisexuality being portrayed as a final destination of a sexual orientation and something we can be engrossed in, because for most bisexuals it is and they are. I made this image to spread the word.
I’m a full-grown bisexual.
I’m such a queer.
I’m such a bi nerd.
I’m so pansexual.
I’m such a huge bisexual.
I’ll bisexual the shit out of anything.
Mythbusting Bisexual Men
One of my exes had a beautiful voice, a soprano so breathtaking it brought tears of joy to my eyes. My beloved wife, Eira, has a thousand amazing talents, but can’t carry a tune. I’m no more likely to leave the mother of my daughter for a man than I am to leave her for a member of the LA Master Chorale.
No partner can be everything to us. Every honest heterosexual in a monogamous relationship admits that his or her partner lacks something that others might have. It’s no different for bisexuals. Really.
