Petition to stop making "lesbians with an exception" a thing on mainstream tv.

representation for a marginalized and underrepresented group is totally of the same importance as representation for an overrepresented majority, ahuh

? Grey's Anatomy. Callie's bisexual. Are you talking about the thing with Erica because they were still figuring themselves out and Callie was freaking out that she liked both men and women the same and I don't think she and Erica had fully decided they were a couple yet and it did blow up in Callie's face. If you're talking Callie sleeping with Mark after Arizona left her to move to another country...they were broken up.

Pretty Little Liars, don't follow the tv show and didn't read much of the books, but isn't she pansexual?

Lost Girl, several characters are bisexual...who are you talking about?

PLL: she calls herself gay

(Anonymous) 2015-10-10 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, PLEASE.

(Anonymous) 2015-10-10 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, stop being coy and just call them bisexual women, damn it!

Side note: Mainstream TV needs more bisexuals, period.

(Anonymous) 2015-10-10 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
More lesbian-lesbians and also more bisexual women.

Yeah, some of it is bi erasure, definitely. Some of it also is the mainstream/male obsession/fantasy/insecurity with women who don't want men, except for that one special magic cock that turned them.

* sorry, bi Erasure

I'm not going to defend the trope, but it's not in play here. Neither character conforms to gender stereotypes, but the woman in the picture refuses throughout the series to identify her sexuality at all. She says "I'm not a lesbian" whenever it comes up, but her only sexual or romantic relationship is with another girl, who she might have been using for plot related purposes. Bi-curious is the only label she doesn't reject in the whole series, and she is definitely not a "lesbian with an exception". Meanwhile, the guy's only romantic relationship in the show is with a completely different girl. Frankly, if the show had been more popular I would have expected the comments on this secret to have taken issue with the OP's assertation that he was gay simply because he was a bit more effeminate than most men.
