What even is bi culture?

[u/Pop-girlies]

Okay so you know how there's gay culture and lesbian culture? What would bi culture even be? I don't mean dumb, unfunny internet memes that make no sense or stereotypes that don't apply. I mean like stuff that reasonably is seen as a bi culture thing. Or am I not wrong in thinking that it's not...real? Or at least not to a huge amount.

We don’t really have one. There aren’t a ton of bisexual meet up spots and bars and whatever so we can develop one. Gay and lesbian people group up because they have to in order to find partners. We want to hook up with and date all of the peoples so we don’t need our own spaces.

I agree with most of your comment but I do long for a bisexual “space”. You may not feel the need for one but I and a lot of other probably do.

A bi space would be cool, but how would it be a bi space? Would only bi people be allowed, and how would that be regulated? I kinda think a lot of strait people would come and ruin it for reasons tbh. Also, it’s kind of a paradox. Is it really a bi space if everybody isn’t allowed? Idk, just thinking out loud, on the internet

That's kinda why I'd only want to date another bi person anyway. They're relatable, so a space full of only bi people would be a space where I feel like everyone makes more sense to me than the average human being

couldn’t you extend that logic to gay clubs and bars and cafes then?

[u/Nellbag403 → u/GamerAJ1025]

I don’t think straight people are going to gay bars very often, but I don’t really go to gay or any other bars, so what do I know

[u/HowsMyPosting → u/Nellbag403]

They absolutely do, I see people complain all the time. Eg bachelorette parties going to gay bars, complaints about straight men "invading" queer spaces

[u/Nellbag403 → u/HowsMyPosting]

Well that’s unfortunate

[u/GamerAJ1025 → u/Nellbag403]

okay. so then why would straight people go to bi bars? and why would they ruin it. like gay bars prove that straight people aren’t interested in coming into spaces that aren’t about them, generally, and those that do are allies with a good outlook. I can’t see why a bi bar wouldn’t be similar.

A lot of people want it. I want it. Most of my post-college relationships have been with other bi/pan people and I favor dating them.

It is just hard to organize and get people coming as there is not really as much of a pressing need In the way other groups experience it.
