"Listen, while it's playful banter between Owen and Lukas, I can't help but be triggered by this conversation. Not in some overly dramatic meltdown type of way, but as someone who identifies as bisexual, I found myself hitting every beat of this conversation with a friend, once or twice."
"In LGBTQ+ circles, it feels like your proximity to queerness is often questioned, especially if you find multiple genders attractive. In predominantly straight circles, I would say it's even worse. And honestly, it's pretty difficult to explain each specific sexual scenario that you do and don't prefer as someone who is not 100% gay. My hot take: Nobody is 100% anything, and environment dictates how we tap into that, but I digress."
A bisexual person felt triggered by playful banter, recognizing echoes of conversations with friends rather than experiencing an extreme reaction. Proximity to queerness often gets questioned within LGBTQ+ spaces, particularly when multiple genders are attractive. Experiences in predominantly straight circles can feel even harsher. Explaining specific sexual scenarios and preferences becomes difficult for someone who is not exclusively gay. A central perspective is that no one is completely one thing; environment plays a key role in how attractions are expressed and navigated in social contexts.
