Growing Bisexual Community Has Made Its Own Culture Online
Newsy
Many memes that began as a joke have now become a part of bisexual culture online, allowing the community to feel part of their created history.
To be bisexual is to be attracted to multiple types of people — men, women and non-binary folks.
But if you explore enough bisexual spaces online, being bi also jokingly means ordering your coffee with oat milk, wearing combat boots and denim jackets and for some reason not being able to sit in a chair... straight.
"Clearly, the fundamental nature of bisexuality is cuffed jeans and a beanie," said Sarah Pappalardo, co-founder and editor of the satirical news site Reductress. "You know, it's just these little things, and really just pointing out the nuances of identity that are fun and relatable, and you know, let people laugh at themselves and their own culture."
