i’m bi. so is my gf katya.

however, katya is also a HUGE right-wing Trump supporter. she literally follows him on every single account and says stuff like “no one cares abt lgbt rights” which is an odd thing to say as a bi person.

Katya is also very nice to me and very much in love with me, though, despite our differing opinions, and I know she’d be offended if I questioned them.

If Katya is actually a huge Trump supporter they DO NOT love you.

exactly. Very weird that she follows trump's accs on everything and doesn't care abt homophobia. are you sure she's not straight and dating you bc "i'm not homophobic, i'm dating my own gender!"/has internalized homophobia?

[-] galactic 5 points 2 months ago

How do you possibly feel comfortable giving life changing advice based on what an anonymous person says in a short paragraph? You will literally never see them in your life, know nothing about them. You literally only care about punishing their partner (and them) because they dare to like a politician that you don't, regardless of what their reasons even are. People like you are why the internet is a terrible place. An utter lack of empathy and understanding, caring only about you and your personal politics. Op should know better than to ask for advice from anonymous strangers, and shame on you for being the reason why.

I didn't give them any advice on how to proceed.

You will literally never see them in your life, know nothing about them.

It's that part. The anonymous, never seeing them part, gives us comfort. You knew the answer your own self but good work being self righteous.

An utter lack of empathy and understanding, caring only about you and your personal politics.

Correct. Their partner doesn't care about others or their personal politics.

I have made my peace with the paradox of tolerance and will provide none to anyone who mentions approval of Trump or right wing policies. Their rhetoric is not "politics". If that means you think I only care about myself that's fine, I don't particularly care what anonymous people on the Internet who I will never see think. See what I did there?

There is no paradox of tolerance. Tolerance is a social contract. Those who don't abide by it, aren't protected by it. So you are absolutely correct in the last paragraph.

Lol you aren't being clever by projecting and saying no u. Just please stay away from giving relationship advice if you are incapable of empathy.

I think their point was mostly that if someone you love advocates for your harm, they don't love you (implied: at least not in a healthy way)

Personally I think love can be deeply unhealthy, toxic, and messy and still be love, but I do understand the point they're making.

Yeah but it could be and likely is so much more complicated than that. They might be fooled by other peers and will change their mind in 6 months, or they might have concerns but feel that certain other issues are more important right now. Maybe they don't believe that Trump is an existential threat to the people they care about. Maybe they are right about that or maybe they are wrong, but i think it's bad advice to treat people as though they have the same enlightened state that you do, but are willingly and intentionally evil anyway. Reality is always so much more complicated.

Bisexual

This is a community for bisexuals, their allies, friends, family, anyone curious about us or our community, or just people who want to hang out.

Bisexual means different things to different people, and I'm not going to tell you what it should mean to you. But one thing I will say is that being bisexual does NOT mean being trans-exclusionary. We love no matter what dingles, dongles, or dangles you do or do not have in your pants.

Of course, there are the basic rules. No hate speech, no brigading, no doxing, no homophobia, no transphobia, no sexism, no racism, no illegal material. Rules will be added as needed.

At the moment, we do not have a hard and fast rule over NSFW images or posts, but I will say that this is a community about bisexuality, not for porn. Please don't make me ban NSFW content altogether.
