Bisexuality is frequently discounted as an illegitimate sexual orientation. Despite being the largest part of the LGBT community, people often say bisexuality is not a valid orientation.
Out of this frustration came #BisexualityIsValid. The hashtag became a place for bisexuals to share some of their most frustrating encounters with that invalidation. It created solidarity across the twitterverse and allowed gay, lesbians, and straights to see some of the invalidation.Â
Here are 11 must read bi-fabulous tweets from #BisexaulityIsValid:
1. My Kid Sister
None— Eliel Cruz (@Eliel Cruz) 1435609813

\u201cWasn't bi growing up, but phase has now lasted 25 years because #bisexualityisvalid and I'm #stillbisexual. Fluidity is valid too.\u201d— Marcus Morgan (@Marcus Morgan) 1432850671
3. Not Buy-sexual
\u201cNo, not try-sexual. No, not buy-sexual. \nYour biphobia is insulting, not funny. Because #bisexualityisvalid\u201d— The Bisexual Index (@The Bisexual Index) 1432848020
4. It's Not a Phase
Did you know that bisexuality is not a transitional phase? Did you know that it is actually possible to always be bi? #bisexualityisvalid

5. More Boyfriends Than GirlfriendsÂ
6. Self Love
\u201cI proclaim that #bisexualityisvalid because others are willfully resistant to my self-love & self-acceptance and I don't take that lightly.\u201d— Stephanie (\ud83d\udc96\ud83d\udc9c\ud83d\udc99\ud83c\udff3\ufe0f\u200d\ud83c\udf08/She/Her/ForeverMasker) (@Stephanie (\ud83d\udc96\ud83d\udc9c\ud83d\udc99\ud83c\udff3\ufe0f\u200d\ud83c\udf08/She/Her/ForeverMasker)) 1432746215

8. Note to Self
\u201cNote to self: #BisexualityIsValid You don't have to apologise for being/explain why you're bi in lesbian & gay or str8 space (so stop it)!\u201d— Goodarcher (@Goodarcher) 1432707706
9. It's About Research
