Is that just bicurious? (I’m asking in general, not as myself because I’m bi for sure.)

I know people probably ask this a lot but I genuinely want to know now.

    This is probably not at all what this person is like, but the way I read this made me picture someone desperate to prove that they’re cool and hip by being part of the LGBTQIA+ community. I have never heard of anyone like this, though I have heard of someone very European claiming to be native American for the street cred so I wouldn’t say no one would ever do the same with sexuality.

      It’s a thing. And like it’s kinda awkward because sometimes these people actually are queer. It’s a somewhat common experience for trans people and ace people to feel like we’re queer before we figure out how.

      But also you’ve got folks like the political lesbian movement, a thing that happened during the heyday of 2nd wave feminism where a bunch of straight and asexual women redefined lesbian as a rejection of men, began entering lesbian spaces and relationships and started getting really mad at us for “acting like men” [TL: expressing sexual attraction to women]

      One of my friends states that she is very rude to them and that she thinks the LGBT community is “cute”, so I don’t know
