    It’s a good thing they included a picture, so you’d know what bisexuals look like.

      This is not enough.

      I need a bisexual identification book, just like those ones for mushrooms.

      Unlike mushrooms though, I won’t eat the bisexuals. I promise.

      True, but we weren’t allowed to talk about it & didn’t have a word for it until 1995.

        I very much remember AC/DC being the term used in personal ads by bi- folk

        A tribute to the Australian rock band, of course.

          Interesting. Please explain how AC/DC can be correlated with bisexuality? I’m trying to picture the physical attributes/mechanics of alternating current & direct current plugs 🤔 Or do you mean the band AC/DC was literally bisexual 🤣

            I think it was simply a metaphor referring to the capacity to accept either of two standards.

    At least they made it open source. Someone forked it after the bisexuality devs said they will not include non binary people. Migrating all my sexual fantasies to pansexuality already

      I think I speak for the heterosexuals and gender binary when i say that the image is the 1995 and Western version of “why are u gae?” moment. It’s the heteronormative society not comprehending the world outside of their own view. It’s usually one likes either a man or a woman but can’t be both. It reminds me of the debate whether or not Alexander the Great is gay. But as someone pointed, why argue if he liked either men or women, but never considered if both? Now i can see why bi-erasure is a thing.

      This was 1995; sexuality was a “new” topic. Identifying as anything other than straight could literally cost you your life. It was 2 years before Ellen would come out publicly on TV because she feared losing her show and 3 years before Matthew Shepard was tortured and dragged to death for being gay.

      A lot of boomers believed and probably still believe that being bisexual was the lazy way of not making a choice. The 90s are pretty romanticized now but it was a scary time for a lot of LGBTIA+ folks.

        Omni and Pan were released by their competitors, but consumers don’t really understand the difference, so everything gets call Bi the same way all adhesive bandages get called Bandaids.
