This particular headache happened awhile ago, I'm much better at the vetting process nowadays then I used to be.
Basically remembering to mention that I'm bi before activities happen.
EDITED to add alt text (I've only done this a few times (in particular for art I've done) so I'm not too good at it with memes)
It recently occurred to me that I identify as bi but everyone I've dated has been nonbinary. So I've never been with a man or woman lol.
I dated a bi girl. I didn't particularly care who she was sleeping with before or after me, so long as she wasn't sleeping with anyone else while she was with me.
I've dated monogamous bi women and I've dated poly bi women.
Strong preference for the poly bi women.
It's not my thing, cool if that works for you.
Yeah it seems like there's a shocking amount of "telling people their preferences" in the LGBT community. I had a girlfriend who insisted I wasn't straight just because she had a penis. As if her getting bottom surgery would have retroactively certified me as straight again.
Like anyone who tells people something that only that person can know for themself, it's usually more about their need to be comfortable within some unresolved dissonance they have, rather than wanting to help resolve something for you.
that's a super weird take for her. like pre-op Blaire White or smth
Why are people so obsessed with creating categories and boxes? Just have sex with people you like lol
That would be queer and not lgbt. Can't be done, woukd never get funding. Sorry.
Sex with consenting people you hate can be fun too if you're into that~
In general: Because the current status quo is that people assume straight as the default thus we show pride in our sexuality and label it so the following generation knows that it's ok the not be straight.
In the context of this meme: gold star gays are weird enough to not consider people gay if they had straight sex in the past even if they realized that they don't like straight relationships/sex for themselves. So I pay them no mind.
Yeah I guess it's the difference between inclusive categories ("me and my friends are gay yippeee") and exclusive ("you have to have had only sex with guys")
I'm all for labelling if it's for pride :3
I swear, a lot of gay dudes just don't have "bisexual" in their vocabulary. Like they don't stop to think that maybe "hey, any straight guys around here like the thought of making another man cum?" reads like "hey bachelors, hows the wife doin?" to anyone who knows what words mean?
Like, I can get there being some fetishization/roleplay around "converting" a straight guy gay. But that's never the angle. They just use the word straight like they know everyone on earth wants to suck their dick.
There's crazy pressure to conform.
It really is like: "If you can't be straight then be gay but you can never ever cross the lines or be ambiguous."
It's such a stupid and self-limiting way of thinking
There's also platinum star gay people, who never went through the birth canal.
Also, OP, you might wanna ad alt text.
There should be super-platinum star gay people who were birthed by a trans man.
Without going through a birth canal either. I think that that's gotta be an achievement.
Onlu for gay men, but yes.
Don't you temporarily need to go off T if you undergo pregnancy as a trans man? Is there then still no chance for having girls?
Jotaro Joestar was apparently a C-section.
I added alt text, how would you say I did? I've only ever done that for art I've done so it's odd to have done it with memes and I'm open to improving on my alt-text-game.
Pretty great, even just adding it is awesome :)
Though I'd just say Spiderman says (text...) rather than having the text on them, it's more concise.
Best is if it fits within 250 characters and focuses on what's relevant in the depiction, in order to understand the image.
Happy to hear that I did a good job on it :)
And thanks for the suggestions!

What is a golden star gay?
A gay who sold 500,000 copies
A "gold star gay" is ~~a ~~guy~~ who has never had sex with a woman.~~
EDIT: Specifically a gay guy who has never had sex with a woman.
its that hymen shit all over again
I love that correction. I didn't even consider it until I saw it 😂
Thanks for the clarification, I guess I won't be able to call me a gold star😔
