LGBTQ+ or not anymore?

So, my husband and I both still consider ourselves to be bi. We were both intimately involved with the same sex before we got together and if (god forbid!!) we ever got divorced, we’d very much be open to dating the same sex again. We have been together for six years and have tried finding people to have a threesome with as well. However, I often feel as if we no longer belong within the LGBTQ+ group. As if we appear to be posers? Not sure how to better explain it. Just want to hear everyone’s thoughts. Thank you

I’m bisexual, demisexual, and probably would be considered heteroromantic as all my long term relationships are with men. If you’re still attracted to the same sex, you’re both still bi. Sexuality is a spectrum. Don’t let anyone make you believe otherwise. A big red flag in my past marriage was he wanted me to denounce my identity because we were married. Love is love.

@Nika thank you 🫶

Why can’t I see the votes? :(

I’m bisexual and married to a heterosexual man. I get how you feel, I sometimes get imposter syndrome. I have to like remind myself that I’ve been out since I was 13, have had many meaningful relationships with women and still am attracted to women so I can snap out of the bad feelings lol. I think it’s common for people in our situation. How does your husband feel? Does he feel like how you do or is he more confident? Anyways, you do belong to the community no matter who you’re married to. It doesn’t take away your identity ❤️ also, you’ll have to vote to be able to see the votes!

I feel this pretty hard. And I'm in a polyamorous relationship with a man and a woman, and we're raising our LO together... but even then, having a child feels like the most heteronormative thing one can do, and I'm hyper aware that when I'm out with just my LO or my husband and LO that I'll always be perceived as straight. Becoming a mom has felt like giving up that part of my identity to degree among other things. Nonetheless, we are still queer. We're still most definitely apart of LGBTQ+. Other people's perceptions don't define us.

Cast a vote yourself! You are absolutely still a member of the lgbtq community and we are happy to have you! ❤️

Queer and straight passing is still queer

And I totally feel that

And get why you feel that

Even though my queer journey is different

I am bi, my husband is straight, and we are monogomus. Due to a repressive upbringing ive only ever dated men, although ive loved 2 women before without being able to act on it or in one case even understand what i was feeling. I am no less bi than anyone else, and even in the LGBTQ+ community bi erasure can be very real. Luckily that is beginning to shift, but it does create a LOT of confusion for straight presenting relationships. You know who you are. You define your sexuality, not your relationship status

Im fully lesbian married to a woman but if we are out ppl will still assume we are sisters or worse that she’s my mom anything but married. Just basically saying that you can be queer as can be and not be recognized as such so… it really just matters how you feel.
