Bi culture beyond the cliches & stereotypes

 |

Defining bisexuality is easy. But bi culture? That may be harder to distill in a single sentence. Many have tried, with listicles on things that are “definitely bi culture” littering the web every Bisexual Awareness Week. Cuffing your jeans? Bi. Finger guns? Also bi. Not being able to sit in a chair properly? Definitely bi. Wearing flannel? Okay, that’s more of a lesbian thing, but it’s also bi. The bisexual bob? Duh, it’s in the name! But bisexual culture is more than just having an affinity for a bunch of fashion trends and adopting certain mannerisms. It also means dealing with both the good and the bad that come with identifying as bisexual – whether that means asserting your visibility in queer spaces or having barely any bisexual representation on TV, save for the stereotypical toxic bi character that’ll most likely get killed off in the end. If you’re bi, then you probably know what we’re talking about. If you don’t, then strap in. Here, we attempt to look beyond the random stuff and dig deep into the things that bring bisexual people together.
