#BiTwitter: Right Now Bisexuals Are Trending on Twitter
#BiTwitter Is the Top Trending Topic on Twitter!
This is historic – and awesome.
Unfortunately, bisexual people suffer from what is called bi-erasure – being erased, ignored, or delegitimized in the media, and in every day life. Here’s how GLAAD explains it:
Bisexual erasure or bisexual invisibility is a pervasive problem in which the existence or legitimacy of bisexuality (either in general or in regard to an individual) is questioned or denied outright.
For example, two married women might spend time in community spaces dominated by lesbians. Perhaps one of the women is bisexual and objects to the assumption that she is a lesbian (i.e., when others call the two women a “lesbian coupleâ€). However, every time she mentions this, others insist that she can’t really be bisexual or that her orientation doesn’t matter (perhaps with the subtext that she shouldn’t talk about it) now that she is partnered.
But right now on Twitter the hashtag #BiTwitter is the top trending topic on Twitter.
Here are some top #BiTwitter posts:
