something that bisexuals are afraid to discuss or admit to about bi history is the presence of polyamory within bi spaces and the connection b/w polyamory and bisexuality. people want to avoid conforming to bi stereotypes bc they fear homophobic backlash and that’s very fair. plus polyamory is not inherently “queer”. but the discourse has made it very difficult for bi people to acknowledge that many historical bisexual icons and bi elders practiced polyamory and were in polyamorous configurations throughout their lives. listen, if u are part of a community in which ur sexual identity is conceptualized as being “too much” and being temporary bc of that “greed”, it’s obvious that said community will politically reclaim and embrace a marker of the very thing that’s used against them. let’s not be afraid to talk about that. don’t buy into respectability politics to distill and purify our history.
