I can't believe I forgot what this week is!! It's bi week! Thank you, tumblr, for reminding me!
This is a really long post, feel free to just skip around if you want. I would definitely check out the links/video!
(Before I start talking, yes, I have done research and I will be providing a bunch of great articles about bisexuality.)
IF YOU ARE BISEXUAL AND/OR QUESTIONING, STEP ONE OF REALIZING YOUR SEXUALITY IS AKNOWLEDING THAT YOUR FEELINGS ARE VALID!
I myself have this problem where I invalidate my own fears and insecurities because 'it could be worse' and 'I'm just being dramatic' and 'I should stop being such an attention seeker.'
Biphobia, especially the internalized kind, is VERY real.
NO, dating someone does not suddenly alter your sexuality. If you are a masculine-identifying individual dating a man, but previously identified as bisexual, you are still bisexual during the relationship too!
People will sometimes unknowingly invalidate bisexuality because they do not understand this. If you are an ally or hope to become one, please do some basic research before making assuptions.
I've found that reading books and articles that include bisexual representation are helpful when you feel particularly alone and when you are questioning yourself.
By the way, Bisexuality does not always mean that you only like male and female individuals! If you scroll down, there's more info on that in the article link titled 'bisexual vs pansexual.'
If you ignored everything else on this post, then pay attention here.
This is a helpful list of hotlines for queer and questioning individuals.

Ok sorry I got off topic. If you want to start with the basics, then maybe figure out what bisexuality is first?
What is bisexual? and What does it mean to be bisexual?
-
This next site is a wonderful place to look if you want more information on sexuality.
minus18.org These are usually more direct and a bit shorter than other articles.
Some articles from this site about bisexuality are:
Busting 7 myths about being bisexual and Bisexual vs. Pansexual
-
I think I might be bisexual (a colorful pdf complete with pictures.)
This one includes info on sex, safe sex, and healthy relationships. Those are things that I am not not at all knowledgeable about, so you'll just have to read the pretty article.
Am I bisexual? 9 signs you might be.
-
You don't have to be romantically attracted to someone to want a relationship! If you are not aware of the term queer-platonic relationship, a quick google search should clear it up pretty well.
Wanting a lifelong relationship is understandable, even if you identify on the ace/aro spectrum. These pictures sum it up pretty well.
This is an article from abc news about some queer-platonic relationships
This one is in first person : )
This is also in first person, I like this one the best.
-
Wait! What if you previously thought you were straight but now you have a crush on someone of the same gender?
You identify as straight but now have a crush on a girl and Woe is me! (That title is so funny to me.)
-
WikiHow!! Our savior and salvation. Yeah, sometimes I just give up and and look through these kinds of articles, because to be honest, they are pretty helpful. (Also the others can get really long.) Pictures too! It's a miracle!
How to tell your parents you are bisexual and How to tell your mom you are bisexual.
Because if you have a good relationship with your parents, then keep it!
-
Mental health and lgbtq
-
If you want to know a person's sexuality/pronouns/ learn more about their orientation, maybe just ask?
Seriously. Try ASKING.
-
Coming out. How terrifying. We're gonna need some links for that!
Coming out (For teens.) and Coming out to your parents
This one is a 44 page pdf of a coming out guide.
-
People erase my existence.
-
Being an ally! Allies are great! Allies are friends!

SCIENTIFIC QUEST TO PROVE BISEXUALITY EXISTS
-
How to express my sexuality. (I'm just gonna leave the google search here.)
-
Can you realize your sexuality at an older age? (yes.)
Myth of realizing you're queer 'too late' in life.
Oh look at that, I did not read this article, but I think it's got the jist of it.
You may also have my google search.
-
And another pdf: A closer look bisexual transgender people.
I gave up on reading it, tell if it's trash and if I should delete it please?
-
BI PRIDE STUFF!!!!
(Brought to you by amazon because that place is magic.)
There's socks and earrings and shirts and flags and stickers and pins and underwear and EVERYTHING.
-
And last but never least, if you're not a reader, here is an animated video! It's great if you're like me and your attention span likes to turn off randomly.
-
Wow, my brain walked away halfway through that, I hope someone finds it helpful. The amount of links I had open just now was stressing me out.
Anyway.
HAPPY BI PRIDE!!!!
(week)
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go pass out. : ) Good night.

as bi week comes to an end, I wanna make a few more reminders to everyone and all bisexuals reading this.
you are still bisexual if you have a male leaning preference
you are still bisexual if you have a female leaning preference
you are still bisexual if your preference goes outside the binary
you are still bisexual if you don't have a preference
you are still bisexual if you're single
you are still bisexual if you have no desire to date
you are still bisexual if you're in a same sex relationship
you are still bisexual if you're in a different sex relationship
you are still bisexual if you're in a monogamous relationship
you are still bisexual if you're in an open relationship
you do not have to pick a side
you are not "promiscuous" or "confused"
you're not "50% gay" or "50% straight" you're 100% you and 100% bi 200% perfect!
you define what bisexuality looks like for you! Bisexuality is a spectrum and varies for different people. And that's ok!
Lastly,
bisexual people don't need to "pick a side"
bisexual people aren't "confused" or "whores"
bisexual people aren't more likely to "cheat on their partner(s)"
bisexual people more than likely don't wanna be part of your orgy :/
bisexual people aren't "pretending"
bisexual women aren't straight
bisexual men aren't gay
bisexual people have been here, are here, and will always be here! You can't get rid of us! 馃グ
remember you are valid 10000% no matter what people say. Keep shining!
op: me! :)

feel free to suggest what you'd like to see more of via the question box! I'd love to hear from you! :)
remember the golden rule!
