Given my Elder Millenial age group, the mid ninties as the birth of bisexuality rings pretty true on a personal level.

But as someone who thinks that bi is the most natural of sexualites, it’s probably the only one that didn’t need to be “invented”. Homosexuality in the modern sense is quite recent (although same sex attraction itself is timeless) and heterosexuality seems to require an awful lot of policing and enforcement for something that’s meant to be “natural”…

Whether the finger guns and leather jackets have always been part of bi identify remains a question for cultural archaeologists.

    They probably had a similar news scroll in Greece back in 1200 BC 😆

    Damn, should have read those Newsweek magazines in the waiting rooms back in the day instead of Highlights, might have saved myself a lot of agony

  • Can confirm: bisexuality didn’t exist before The History Channel launched.

    It was Robert Rubin’s first official act as the newly appointed Secretary of Treasury, after Clinton’s state of the union address in which he announced that a new sexuality would be formed. The new sexuality is widely considered to be the cause of the Dow’s later 30 point gain to break 4,000 for the first time in history.

      Zapp Brannigan: You can’t trust a bisexual, Kif. You never know if you should insult them for not having a girlfriend, or not having a boyfriend.
