Happy Bi-Visibility Week! Here’s 5 Things You’re Doing That Are Making You Visibly Bi

Happy bi visibility week! Here at the Eggplant, we pride ourselves on our inclusion of members of the LGBTQ community and strive to create an environment where people of all sexualities are welcome and validated. But to be honest, we’re a bit confused by “bi visibility.” Like, is it not obvious? We’re pretty easy to spot and it’s not just that lavender oat milk latte. That includes you bestie, you’re not fooling anyone. Allow me to elaborate. Here’s 5 things you’re doing that are making your bisexuality oh-so-visible. 

1. Sitting like that

Look at you. The amount of different positions you have managed to contort your body into is astounding. There’s a reason why its called “sitting straight” and that’s because anyone with an inkling of homosexual tendencies cannot do it. But in spite of this, you have managed to find every comfortable way to sit that does not involve using chairs in the way God intended. You go girl, keep breeding innovation in the face of adversity.

2. Vintage ugly sweater with high waisted light wash denim

You know the fit. A vintage, neutral colored ugly sweater paired with any sort of high waist, light wash denim. Probably doc martens too. Yes, it's a killer fit, but you should know that you are sending a flare into the sky that spells out “I’m here, I’m queer, and I have no idea why I chose to wear a wool sweater in 80 degree weather.”

3. Dating a heterosexual man

The most bisexual thing you can do. But only if he is heterosexual NOT straight. There’s a big difference. Heteros are the allies. Straights are the enemy.

4. Listening to St. Vincent, Mitski, Phoebe Bridgers, Hozier……… 

There’s certain genres and artists that just bleed sad bisexual energy. If you listen to any of the above (bonus bisexual points if you own any of them on vinyl), you are most certainly down to stargaze on top of your Honda Civic with a partner of any gender.

5. Telling everyone you’re bi

Well, come to think about it, telling everyone you’re bi is probably the biggest reason your sexuality is so visible.. Sure, your outfits and music taste are also a dead giveaway, but there’s no bigger pink, purple, and blue flag than saying “I’m bi” to anyone and everyone who will listen.

Hopefully this list provided some clarification as to why your friends said “we know'' when you came out to them. But regardless of how many of these things you’re doing, your sexuality is unique to you and doesn’t need to be validated by some random article on the internet. You keep doing you, the Eggplant loves you!
