Re: "Bisexual Erasure"

"Lesbian" as an adjective to describe a relationship between women, regardless of their individual identities, is fine. What annoys us is when the women themselves are described as lesbians even if either of them is bi or unknown. And that's the only time I've seen anyone get mad about it.

Yes, "I haven't seen the other situation so it doesn't happen!" is exactly what I'm saying... yeah no, I'm not, but if it happened enough to be more than an exception not worth whining about, I would have seen it.

Honestly we might just float around in different circles. I've seen people angry about even using the adjective.

or unknown

See, I guess this is part of it. Why the hell can't I let someone be excited about a thing? I have to run in and say HEY SHE MIGHT BE BI! I know you're an oppressed sexual minority but so am I focus on me and not you now

Like if we find out she's bi and they KEEP calling her a lesbian then I get angry, but before? Please let them be hyped about the cute girl in plaid okay

I have a friend who writes books where the main relationship is between a lesbian and a bisexual woman. She learned early on never to call it a lesbian relationship when promoting the books if she didn't want to be yelled at.

This, thank you. Being in a gay relationship doesn't necessarily mean that you're gay any more than being in a straight relationship necessarily means that you're straight. It just means that you're in a gay/straight relationship, and as a bi person myself, it really annoys me when people jump to conclusions about someone's sexuality just because of who they're dating.
