Tom Daley literally said “Of course I still fancy girls, but right now I’m dating a guy”

and yet

for every tweet that acknowledged both men and women, or bisexuality, there were about six like the ones above

does anyone really think bisexual erasure isn’t a thing?

Ugh I’ve been getting so frustrated about this shit lately. Piper Chapman’s a “former lesbian,” Anne Heche “won’t make up her mind,” and I get misread as straight all the damn time. Recently I was re-watching season 2 of The O.C., which has a huge bisexuality storyline, and I don’t think I heard the word “bisexual” once. Media-makers, step up your game, we exist!
