There was a lot of casual biphobia played off as harmless jokes in the LGBTQ+ community this Pride Month, with plenty of comments particularly aimed at bi women, saying they don’t belong because they’re dating men. As tiring as it is, those comments are nothing new, and it’s a big part of why I’ve always been averse to getting involved in queer spaces. When I was dating a woman, I always felt like an outcast, like I wasn’t queer enough to belong or to be ‘proud’, as though my relationship undermined my queerness. But this year I had TikTok and my for you page was flooded with bisexuals calling out these so-called jokes, exclusionary comments, and standing up to biphobia. I’ve never felt so welcomed.
