Bisexuals who were at the forefront of the “Gay” rights movement.
The word bisexual had stood out so bright and clear in my head that all else had ceased to exist. Bisexual. I had a word. I understood; it was me… a nice clear label that said it all. I didn’t have to choose. I didn’t have to be not attracted to either guys or girls — a prospect I had found utterly absurd and likely impossible, but had thought was perhaps necessary. Now it wasn’t necessary. Now it was okay to be me. I was not unheard of. Bisexual.“- Jim Landa, bisexual character in bisexual coming of age novel, “Love, Sex, and Understanding the Universe.
Sad news and a great loss to the bisexual community.

My statement, Re: Current Attacks from Rightwing Extremists
It is never remotely okay to harass, target, or use as a weapon, anyone, but it is most especially grievous to target the most vulnerable among us. Only the most morally evil, or those they’ve brainwashed with insidious fearmongering, would ever do this. They don’t care how cruelly they harm, nor how many they harm, nor how much the trauma radiates out from those in the crosshairs and into society in general.
Currently, the bullies are gaining ground in ways and at speeds that have many of us wheeling in dizzying disorientation. Those creating nightmares on hell-bound trains do not care how many people email or call in protest, how many chain themselves to government buildings; they don’t care how many take their own lives, nor would they respond to threats or even violence.
Nonetheless, we must explore and use every nonviolent avenue we still have to block them. And by we, I mean all people of good faith and good conscience. We must support the organizations and individuals fighting the legal and legislative battles. We must also, and very importantly so, gather together to be supportive of one another, and most especially, with those on the periphery reaching out to be supportive, caring, and uplifting of those at the center of the hate and oppression. We must incessantly speak up and speak out, not because the perpetrators will listen, but because their cowardly enablers might, and just as importantly, because those being hurt the most need to hear the care and concern, need to know they are not alone, not forgotten, or abandoned.

Bisexuality may be a confusing topic for you, but that’s not because bisexuals are confused, it’s because you are.

THIS.
I reblogged this a few hours ago, but I will reblog it again, because I just feel this SO STRONGLY.
Totally relatable, sadly.
The feminine desire to be a man
The masculine desire to be a woman
The nonbinary desire to be asleep
Anonymous asked:
Dark writing culture is carefully creating a character, pouring love into it and sculpting a perfectly flawed personality, moulding a backstory, then sending your lovingly prepared creation into the plot in which they will suffer. A lot.
There are many secrets in my novel, “Finding Bonita,” waiting for you to discover.
writing culture is when you took a break from your wips to write some fanfic, and the hiatus turned into a lot of fics, and now, when you go back to your wips that you took a hiatus from
you dont even write like that anymore
This Twitter thread from @StillBisexual is inspirational and definitely worth reading. I’m sharing it with you on the 25th day of #BiHealthMonth.
Having authored two novels about bisexual characters with polyamory subplots feels really different from having authored only one novel with bi characters and polyamory. Just thought you should know!
So now I’m really curious what it will feel like to have three novels with bi representation and poly plots!
