glad you do

that is the bi/fluid/pan community's semi-official "Keep the 'T' in LGBT: Support a Trans-inclusive ENDA" graphic made into an Icon - it comes in larger sizes too if you ever want it

Is fluid where you love who you love and gender has nothing to do with it?

>.>

I looked it up on google and it looks like when teenage girls want to claim an alternative sexuality when they are straight as an arrow.

I am confus.

ummm, huh? I looked it up on google and it looks like when teenage girls want to claim an alternative sexuality when they are straight as an arrow.

well that is just about the same definition they give for bisexuality in general and also quite a few lesbian who are under a certain age so I guess it doesn't surprise me

it's just a way some queer people describe their sexuality, for example as you can see from their photos, when AMBI marches in the LA Pride Parade in West Hollywood, their contingent sign reads bisexual/fluid and they also have some nice definitions you can look at

Also you can see the discussion about how people identify inside of the greater bisexual/fluid/pansexual community by looking at some of the comments on the BiNet USA Facebook Group:

Bisexual Fluid Pansexual Omnisexual Hetro/Homo-flexible or "no boxes please" What do YOU call yourself and why?

hello [info]erastes, thank you for your leadership in the #amazonfail contretemps

There will be more Pan stuff coming, though god/ess only knows when it will be finished! People are trying to find some good pictures of Pan and Daphnis for example.

no problem and don't know if it is visible at the size it is, but that is a totally HOTT Merman in the picture (Mermen are also sadly under-represented in most art/graphics, LOL!)

Could someone please explain to me exactly what 'fluid' entails? I've heard this term used but can't find any clear-cut definition. Does it refer to fluid sexuality in relation to gender? If so, what is the difference between 'fluid' and pansexual? Please excuse my ignorance on this.

Oh dear, I just saw one in passing but now I'm not sure where it went. Did you see the Bi Dictionary page on Los Angeles's bi/fluid/queer group AMBI's website as mentioned to [info]sheena_bandy above? A lot of it does have to do with the fact that strict gender roles are dissolving in some places. For example in the US and other Western Nations there is this article just pointed out on the "Bi Muslims" ListServ:

Young adults 'don't want to be defined by gender, orientation'

wonderful and thank you so much for telling us which ones you like, it's always interesting to know

did you notice they are both details from classical works of the late 19th and early 20th century? on a lot of browsers when you run your cursor over them the actual attributions will come up

Oh yes, I see - just noticed YOUR Userpics, LOL!

Isn't it annoying when you see a great icon made from something and it has changed hands so many times you can't find any info the maker put in on it's origins so you can't go see more of their works?

I saw someone who has solved that problem by mentioning that they don't know who they were made by or what they came form and asking for people to tell them, in their Userpic Comments Field

I took the Audre Lorde one!
I loved the Audre icon! That quote has haunted me ever since I saw it a couple of years ago. Back then I wasn't bisexual and I didn't know who Audre Lorde was, I just saw her words on a bumper sticker. So I applied her quote to a lot of different examples to see if it held true. Like most quotes, it contains both truth and lie depending on the situation, but I think in reference to activism, it's very true. Thank you for making these!

Re: I took the Audre Lorde one!
Thank you for making these!

You are most welcome. You make them and YOU like them and put them out there never knowing what will happen. It is gratifying and interesting to know that people like them and also which ones and why.

It seems to me that Audre Lorde's quote speaks to the same concepts as the famous quote from an anti-Nazi Pastor in WWII Germany:

"In Germany, they came first for the Communists, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Communist;
And then they came for the trade unionists, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist;
And then they came for the Jews, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Jew;
And then . . . they came for me . . . And by that time there was no one left to speak up."

you know there is an interesting story behind that Cake, It is based on the one used in a silent protest in California when all the leading mainstream L+G Groups were working on same sex marriage (the ultimately unsuccessful push for Prop-8) and while all the bi/fluid/pan groups and people were a BIG part of that push . . . people were volunteering, people were giving money, people who had married their same-sex partners during the brief "Prague Spring" were worried about having THEIR marriages invalidated too . . . and yet . . . somehow the dreaded "B" word (or the "F" word or the "P" word) never passed ther lips . . . unless (of course!) they wanted our part of the LGBT community to give money or work for them.
