These days, any time someone starts off with any phrase containing the word 'reminder,' you know that a torrent of bullshit is about to follow.

Wokes love the idea of lavender marriage between lesbians and gay men where they actually love each other and have sex. Cause actually being homosexual, bi or hetero is not special enough, you need to be the most contradictory thing possible.

I haven't heard much about lavender marriages but I have always assumed that it was a marriage between a lesbian and a gay man who were close friends (outside of Hollywood ofc). And if they wanted children, they would seek fertility treatments or something like that so that they wouldn't need to have sex. Is there someone who knows more and could tell me if my assumption are correct or if I have got everything wrong?

I know a lesbian couple who found a gay man to be their sperm donor. I know they definitely wanted a sperm donor of the same rather-uncommon ethnicity as them. I'm not sure if him being gay was important to them? Or maybe both parties being gay just made him more on board with the idea?

Their kids were conceived in the late 90s, and one of the wives is a nurse, so I'm guessing she DIYed it at home with a turkey baster, rather than going to a fertility clinic or something.

Mostly right. The ones I met were in very strategic relationships. Of course there was real friendship, but for legal purposes they were each there to be the safeguard in case of life emergencies, and they could also get spousal health insurance. The woman did not want her family to swoop down and take her away if she was in a bad accident; her "husband" could be there to make power-of-attorney decisions, funeral arrangements, etc.

Also, that's not the norm. I'd love for my husband and I to be able to have biological kids but I'm certainly not going to go out of my way to get a woman pregnant just so it can be "my" kid when we can just as easily eventually adopt.

If your relationship can result in children then it's a straight relationship.

Well, it's certainly an opposite-sex relationship... and, therefore, NOT a gay (or lesbian) one.

So it's straight. Maybe one or both of the people are bisexual, but there are only two possible combinations of relationship. Same-sex, a.k.a. gay or lesbian, or opposite-sex, a.k.a. straight. What's the problem?

The problem is that this plays into bisexual invisibility. Since people generally assume that bisexuality doesn't exist, bisexuals must not either. We're therefore seen as gay or straight. And this is typically determined by our current relationship. Same-sex? We're gay. Opposite-sex? We're straight. So apparently it's somehow possible to switch back and forth between mutually-exclusive sexual orientations! Yeah... no.

Our being misunderstood like this obviously isn't good for bisexuals, but it isn't good for homosexuals, either. If being in a same-sex relationship makes bisexual women "gay"... then there's wiggle-room for the claim that "lesbians can like dick!" And if we've learned anything, it's that if you give the TQ+ an inch... they'll take a goddamn mile (and then some).

No one here is saying bisexuals are straight or gay/lesbian. Simply that a relationship can only be either straight or gay/lesbian.

Lol. Do they ever think before they speak? The fact homosexuality cannot result in reproduction is the very reason it's been so vilified over the years. No, we can't have bio kids with the person we love. Yes, it's "unpractical" or whatever else. No, we won't date trans people for bio children. No, we cannot fall in love and have sexual desire for people of the opposite sex. And no, most of us won't sacrifice a chance to feel love just for bio kids.

Oh my god I am so tired of LGBTQIAetc "issues" being in the spotlight, witnessing people who know nothing of homosexuality run their mouth like they're an expert and our spokesperson. Shut up and leave us alone...
