While the joke is indisputably funny, it’s important to remind everyone that it’s still a harmful stereotype. Bi/pan erasure is a genuine problem. You don’t stop being bi/pan simply because you enter a monogamous relationship.
Comment on bisexual

You are only bisexual if you are engaged in sex with two people of the opposite sex simultaneously.
Otherwise, you’re just Schrodinger’s Gay.

More seriously, I think erasure is only part of it. Lots of LGBTQ folks deliberately remain in the closet for the sake of family relationships, careers, and local politics.
If you’re bi, it’s just easier.
But that heterosexual camouflage does get confusing to process when you “come out”. Especially with the reactionary attitude that heterosexuality is a choice.

two people of opposite sex*, otherwise it’s just a straight threesome

But you cease to be bi afterwards, you were just experimenting.

How does a straight threesome work? (I suppose every participant could be straight but it seems like two might be weirded out by eachother, no?)

it’s like a proxy connection, the client and remote server both interact with the proxy server, but they don’t interact directly with each other

So there’s a Schrodinger’s Gay in every threesome
UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
