Being an Asexual Ally
Talking about asexuality in discussions of feminism (and all its intersectionalities) is not the easiest task. As a recent thread at the high-profile blog Feministe has once again shown, attempts at any form of meaningful discussion around…

You do know that it’s possible to fight for LGBT rights without appropriating the Civil Rights movement, right? And that the Civil Rights movement is not yours to appropriate? And that dismantling homophobia can be done without perpetuating racism? And that—huge shocker here, I know—some people are both black and queer?
Just checking. Because it really doesn’t seem like y’all are aware of this. So consider this a friendly reminder.
P.S. Gay is not the new black. Stop saying that shit.

So I guess this is a call to action: The LG and T community need to make more of an effort to support the B’s among us. Being bisexual doesn’t mean being selfish or sitting on the fence, it means being brave enough to live in the gray space.
And though I could write a whole other piece just about the stereotypes associated with bisexuality — like that bisexual people can’t be monogamous, or that they are just “confused” — coming out as bisexual means saying, “I don’t care if you think I’m just a promiscuous perv and I don’t care if you think it’s a phase and I don’t care if you don’t accept me as part of the gay community, this is who I am.” We need to provide a loving environment for our bisexual brothers and sisters and make them welcome among us. And maybe we need to learn to look at ourselves and accept some gray in our lives, too.
GAGGGG! This is history being made. The first trans character actually played by a trans person and a film that seems to show the world what it is REALLY like for the gurlz. I simply cannot wait to see this film!
