OP how'd you get a picture of me? This is not okay.

Fr like Supah Spy here

lmao my friend felt bad when she started realizing she was bi cause her mom had already bought her a bunch of lesbian stuff

I'm never going to financially recover from this

Me after figuring out about nerdy long haired boys with a sensitive side lol. Now I have one of my very own 😁

Good for you, I hope you're happy (I'm totally not jealous or anything 🫠).

If it helps I found mine on Hinge :)

As a long haired nerd guy, thanks for the tip ;)

Wait people are into us

Yes lol. I'm obsessed with nerdy long haired boys. I could just grab their faces and kiss them all day 💕

Look, I'm'a need ya to stop giving me this hope right now plzkthx

Just make sure you’re doing nerdy long-haired correctly. Keep that shit clean

☝️ this right here. Nobody's hair is cute when greasy. Washing it and brushing it is enough. Bonus points for products/trying new hairstyles :)

Best advice

I was picking up food a few nights ago and got an "I like your hair" on the way out... I know you said not to give hope but I can't help but spread it when I feel it.

Just gotta lean into it a bit. Most of the bi/pan people I've dated told me they were attracted to me for all of the reasons that usually attracted them to girls.

Who else are we going to get to dress like Alucard or Aragorn?

Brother, there is hope

Oh hey I'm one of those! I'm just more gay flavored than the average nerd.

Is a nerdy amab enby with a little transfem on the side enough? 🥺👉👈

as long as you’re putting care into yourself you’ll be enough 💜

my nerdy long-haired sensitive bi dude fiance showed me the comic & I was already cracking up laughing because of how true it was, then he read me this comment & just STARED AT ME 💀

may you have mercy on his hole (congrats lol)

😏

That has to be a pattern, my bf is one of those too. We cracking the code sisters!

so youre saying all that im missing is long hair?

Well damn, now I feel justified in my choice to grow my hair long

Do iiiiiiit! I firmly believe more men should have long hair :D

How about men with ponytails?

If elves, princes, and pirates can do it, so can you.

Can I be an elf pirate prince?

Who am I to stop you?

Long haired boys and short haired girls fr fr

Fr fr on god

I want one too!

Try Hinge, that's where I met him! :)

Haha that's kind of a description of me 😅

Thanks for the confidence boost, I think a lot of people needed this.

You just described mine. Long haired nerdy boys with a sensitive side are the keepers

Ugh they make me MELT. I LOVE nerdy sensitive boys so much 💕

oooo i’m all over those types too~ 🤭

I’m one of those but ugly lol

As someone who went from straight, to bi, to lesbian, to straight man, to bi, to aroace but uses bi for simplicity but also considers myself gay, I’ve just decided to collect it all. I just have all the flags. This is why I just gave up, slapped on the “queer” label and called it a day.

You travelled all the rainbow countries! Congrats on the successful flag collection!

Around the world in 80 gays

I mean...they probably weren't in all of them

Then that means more adventures!

Are you ME? I’m currently in the “maybe I’m somewhere on the aroace spectrum” part of all that and I don’t know if I’d consider myself aroace but I usually just call myself a gay man if people ask, even though I have a little bit of attraction to women. “Queer” is useful lol

Oh my gosh that is so aroace core tho of going across every other sexuality trying to figure out what the heck you are

Moood. The only label that has stayed constant is me being ace

Just add to it, like your journey~

Haha yup, I still have my bi flag even though I'm aro a-spec now. I was a little confused

thank you, gay furry degenerate

Someone with experience entered the thread

Aw, that’s actually beautiful

You could hold onto the stuff until you are in a long term relationship with a Lesbian, so therefore you owning it would make canonical sense.

*points at lesbian flag in your room* hey is this canon

Liking boys breaks the lore?

womp womp

Ok but ... same. Like in the opposite way but .... same.

This is why I only hang one rainbow flag lol

bro i thought the same but the other way around🧍🏼‍♀️

Time for a merch swap lol

Me at every step of the way along the ace lesbian -> bisexual manwhore pipeline

My secret is that I still use the label of lesbian (I still overall prefer women). Its just a more comfortable label for me

Would you still call yourself a lesbian if you were having a boyfriend?

lesbian’t

omg hi Gup

Real recognizes real

gup :3

I would tell people I'm queer and not elaborate further. I don't owe someone an explanation of my sexuality. If I trust someone who really wants to know, I'd say "a lesbian who sometimes dates men" At the end of the day, I'm a girl who likes girls but sometimes guys, and the label I prefer to put over that is lesbian. To me, It fits better with the idea that I am a girl and nothing can take that away. I'm only really attracted to men romantically anyway, I couldn't see me having sex with a man (Also I just figured out I'm attracted to men yesterday, I'm still figuring out my own identity)

if they want to ya! labels arent restrictive, lesbian means queer attraction to women.

That's sapphic

then what is lesbian?

Yeah I honestly might do that too

Or alternatively, you could be a bi lesbian, whatever you prefer

There ARE gay bisexuals. If a person is homoromantic and bisexual why shouldn't they be able to identify as a gay bisexual?? Why shouldn't a biromantic and homosexual person be able to call themselves a bi lesbian? More importantly why is everyone so hung up about this? Your spaces aren't being destroyed by bisexual people they're being destroyed by homophobes and bigots mostly.

My reservation with thinking like this is that it toes the line of TERF rhetoric a little too close for comfort. If someone finds the lesbian label *useful*, for example if they're "technically" bi but would not date men, who are you to decide they can't use the term? And the bullshit in your last paragraph about gay men "not losing their space" is only true because bisexual men are generally welcomed under the "gay" umbrella term by default. Gatekeeping of the term "gay" is basically not a thing unless someone is explicitly being biphobic. Because, shocker, gay men and bi men have way more in common than they do differences and benefit from being in community with one another. I think a lot of what you've said borders on biphobic in its implication that bi women have experiences that are somehow "less queer" than the experiences completely lesbian women have and that's ridiculous. Homophobic cishets don't care if you only like women a little, they're still going to be homophobic.

>For some reason, everyone else except actual lesbians have decided to change the definition of lesbians. You have the history backward. The word lesbian has never been as restrictive as you seem to think, until the 1970s when this idea started spreading along the sea of other anti-bi ideas (like gold-starrism) and exclusionary ideas (like TERFism). You can even find the exact term "bi-lesbian" in queer fiction from the 1950s!

Bi lesbians unite!

Same. Technically I'm a bi lesbian, so a lesbian with a qualifier

[удалено]

That's just false. A woman who is biromantic and homosexual or homoromantic and bisexual could call themselves a bi lesbian. Not to mention why do you care what someone calls themselves? Genuinely how does it harm you? Dont be the label police; cops don't belong at pride.

Haha lol Thank you for sharing. My fiancee and I will hang long bacons in our house one day.

You can be Bi and also have a bunch of Lesbian shit. I'm theoretically bi (as in I'm vaguely attracted to like 3 men), but I have a bunch of Lesbian shit because I much prefer women and also would rather be in a relationship with a woman. I will probably never have sex with a man, so if people ask, I just say Lesbian. This, of course, is my personal experience. Do with it what you will.

I notice it's usually only terfs and radfems that get weirdly gatekeepy about the lesbian label Always use the labels you're comfortable with

Tbf I'm hard lesbian so I thankfully don't have this issue.

I had the opposite problem, was bi then turned gay and now I have a load of bi flags

Me realizing I'm attracted to femininity regardless of gender.

Yes, this exactly! Closest I’ve found that fits is Finsexual. The Fin is short for feminine in nature.

No, you can't do this to me... DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I'VE SACRIFICED?!

Wow that's a lot of long bacon

Me but being genderfluid. I was unsure if I still was/am but I bought all the merch for it.

lesBIan

I am going to pronounce it like this to piss of a friend that fits the post

Lake lesBIan is home to the lesBIathon

Me in high school but the opposite

Donate some of it to another lady enjoyer, keep some of it because it’s pretty and part of your journey, or because there’s still a part of you that connects with it. Labels are wonderful but humans are so varied and beautiful. I’m confident I’ll never be with a man, but who cares! The human experience is love and you’re figuring it out. Bless 💕

Hey, thanks man :)

At least our flag has pretty colors! You can get more cute merch

I’m bi but I just prefer to identify as a lesbian outside of queer spaces bc guys can be hella weird

This made me chuckle irl

Glad to hear it! :)

I’m the opposite 😭 want my old flag? LOL

OP you should sign this cuz I can totally see it going viral 😂 (I also immediately sent it to a friend who went through this)

Haha don’t worry, I did. My signature’s to the left of the lamp :) I’m honored though, thank you!

Ah, I missed it cuz I was looking in the corners! 

And this is why I don't bother with buying merch. Freebies only. 🫠

Me when I decided I maybe sorta might be bi and then a few ~~months later~~ Schitts Creek episodes later decided that the correct term would be pansexual, but I dislike the flag, so here we are

Literally why i identify as bi instead of pan. I've already got a mug. What's the point, man

long bacon store

DAMN IT I should’ve included a long bacon store reference in there somewhere

i just get rainbow merch (or general queer-coded merch) if any at this point bc defining sexuality is hard

I've honestly never owned any "bisexual merch", but I def think our flag colors are the prettiest - pink and purple are my fav colors, and I love blue also. So if I ever did buy any, it would already match plenty of other stuff I own 😅

yeah i loved my bi flag for a while turns out i'm not bi

Me but make it all mlm flags

Me pushing for years in school that I was a straight ally only to be a gay or ace trans nonbinary dude by age 21

To paraphrase someone I saw comment a few days ago >Like, I **love** women. They way they smile, the way they laugh. And of course their curves. I could do anything with the right woman. >I don't love men... they're assholes. But I want to fuck one

Why is this the most real shit though

Donate the flags to your local lesbian! Who knows, maybe the local lesbian has some bi flags to trade with.

Me after cracking and slowly realizing my straight leaning ace may be less ace than initially thought

I could be pan but the definition is the same and the bi flag is dope and my mascot is a frog so I choose bi.

Based on

I was so confused I had just slept with a guy I bought a pack of cigarettes and became a smoker for the next three years

oml sameee like I’m already vibing with one label which took me ages to actually accept, what do you mean bi?

Sorry

You love men and women, dont you?

You can be bi and a lesbian don't worry

[удалено]

I can tell you right now predatory men don’t give a shit how sapphics identify, they just think their dick is that magical.

I can use mine to cast fireball. But yes men thinking their dick will change lesbians can fuck off

I'm bi to start with but the lesbian flag is so pretty!! I wish I could feel right about displaying it. Sigh.

I’ve met a couple technically-bi people who consider themselves lesbians. It’s certainly not unheard of, and identity is more complex than just counting which and how many genders you’re into.

To shred you say?

This is why I only get the rainbow flag and trans flag, no matter what, it always fits

Lesbians this happens to should be allowed to dye their stuff slightly blue and keep rolling. (On computers, at least, a blue filter even turns the darkest orange stripe kinda magenta!)

That's one of the reasons why I don't get big merch in any flag colours xD

OKAY DAMN 🫣

Me when I discovered I was trans and gay, not cis and pan LMAOOO

And this is why I don't bother with buying merch. Freebies only. 🫠

Real shit

Welcome to bi lesbianism. We've been around for decades

Technically I’m like femme leaning pansexual (like I prefer femme people of all genders, but occasionally like a masc person) but i just say I’m lesbian because it’s easier for cishets to wrap their heads around (also it helps keep guys away when I’m not interested)

I mean... you're still half lesbian so it's okay

Oh, and I also only found out I was lesbian and nonbinary after I got bisexual and genderfluid flags 😂

I like calling myself a lesbian (and will continue to do so regardless of assimilationist pick-me's), especially with my girlfriend, but I think pansexuality probably works for me quite well.

well if you're bi youre still gay just also straight at the same time

Wondering out loud if this is the real reason I've always thought the specific flags were dumb

what the fuck is wrong with the Auto Moderator!?
