The editor that probably jammed all that shit together for a cool lede...good lord. Things are bad but not because Julianne Hough (?) isn't "straight?" Was Lindsay Lohan not the tipping point years earlier?

Yeah that'll show them...just like the native American lineage of E Warren...a POC speaking truth to power

fwiw...bi people are still bi, whoever they marry. Coming out about it is still difficult and meaningful, imo. Pretty different from claiming native identity when you're not native which is morally wrong. I mean,that article is dumb, but not for acknowledging that bi ppl are bi.

with some of these celebrity disclosures, you're left wondering how much is just packaging to stay with the times. of course the urge is to provide the benefit of the doubt, but doing so for them may adversely impact the lived experience for others for whom the status means more

I really don't think that's how it works in this case. Bi people have a long history of being erased from queer communities. There are a lot of bi people who are in relationships that look heterosexual, many fo them are closeted.

Telling them that when they come out they don't count just puts them in a double bind.

yes, exactly. but i think celebrities these days are accorded much more rope when arrogating certain identities. i think this only further squeezes people for whom the process of this identification is much more fraught.

Even people with a certain amount of power can face bigotry. One of the most persistent bigotries bi people face is questioning of their identities.

i've spent so much time working with influencers and publicists that i suppose i've developed a pathological distrust of all onstage positioning, having heard so much backstage "shop talk"

it's certainly easier to come out now than it used to be. But that's a good thing! and being bi tends to get you more shit, not less, like any marginal identity.
