among my generation this has already caught on among some groups of young white women for "diversity clout" if that's a thing. they are all suddenly "bi" and put pride flags in their insta and tiktok bios. prove them wrong.

p.s. there are doubtless plenty who are fr but there's a lot of bs too.

I've been hetero-exclusive bisexual for years and it's great.

I don't mean this as snide as it sounds, but really, who cares?

My company counts participation in groups such as the LGBT employees group as part of your yearly review.

i don't much honestly. a few bi friends have complained but i don't much agree with the whole "appropriation" angle.

it does matter if people start getting advantages from it, though, and that's literally the subject of this thread. hell if it meant the difference between grant and no grant i'd claim it, what can they do?

Perhaps the people that don’t want to participate in open bigotry and other nonsense.

Seems like a no brainer. Only benefits, no downside.
