Wow the article is real and from 2015 and not published on April Fools.

Despite the click-bait headline, that was actually an interesting and well written article.

Not if you declare “no homo.”

It's not gay if balls don't touch. And I ain't seeing any balls here!

I’m bi (pan, but the bi flag is better) but… is bi diet-gay?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

They're under the same umbrella, and are functionally the same thing. Bi is just compatibility with the same/different genders, pan is just compatibility with all genders. Bisexual as a term has had a long and confusing history (it essentially meant intersex in the olden days), so then another standard was created (bisexuality as we think of in the contemporary context) as the terminology evolved, then another standard was created on top of that within the last 30ish years or so (pansexuality).

So basically this, lol.

Scientists now just refer to the entire category as "Bi+" as future forks come out. You get to choose which flag you like best, and everyone knows you are on the universal compatibility standard x3

No, it is not, and don't ever let anyone pin a sexuality label that isn't you on you. I am bi and Gen-X. In the 80's and 90's I took constant shit from homophobic straight people, as expected. What I didn't expect, and was truly hurt by, was my homosexual acquaintances calling me "closeted", "confused gay", or "a greedy f*g".

Sorry. I'm clearly still bothered by the bullshit from that era.

Women being gay - wicked. sinful.

Gay dudes throughout western history - lifelong bachelor. never married. lived with his "very close friend" until they both died.

I thought it was:

Women being gay: they were dear friends who lived together for the past 50 years, owned several cats together, never consorted with men, and are now being laid to rest under the same tombstone as it was their eternal wish never to part. What close roommates they were!

Men being gay: we sent him to jail but that wasn't enough so we cut off his balls.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Yeah that's far more like it.

That's pretty much exactly the opposite of how it worked in Britain from Victorian times through to the 90s
