  1. CW: Seinfeld, unpopular opinions, posting while drinking, bisexuality, biphobia, Christofascism, questioning, thread

    And I think it's sad that growing up, the only example I had of someone #questioning whether they were #queer was #Seinfeld, a show that, while I'm defending it with some #UnpopularOpinions is still deeply problematic. It's a show that, like every other show of that era, was #biphobic and participated in #BiErasure. And yet, I'm also weirdly grateful to it, because at least it was something when I had nothing, and now I can look back on that era of my life and rewatch it and realize how far I've come in my own journey.

    And I also think it's sad that there really isn't more representation of characters questioning their sexual orientation, even today. I think today questioning is assumed to be something people don't do because we're all supposedly so accepting of the #LGBTQ community now, but for pretty much all of my life, I could have used some questioning representation.

  2. Horrifically bierasing and biphobic statements by Leigh Sales & Lisa Millar on The ABC TV show-linked The Newsreader Podcast Episode 1 regarding Helen & Dale's relationship. Shame on the ABC for boosting stigma about the B in LGBTQIA+, causing real harm to bisexual people.

    Update: the wonderful, diverse, creative team behind the show have responded to flagging of this, and the offensive section of Sales & Millar's podcast is GONE 😊

  3. I’ve been for critical engagement with #homophobic #transphobic and #biphobic people and groups in the past in order to change them. I have seen good changes. There are also groups and people I don’t choose to waste my time or take the risk of engaging with. There are groups I don’t want to #pinkwash as the group is harmful at core.
