Double or Nothing

Double or Nothing

image

They say the sun shines on the good and bad.

So why can’t I get laid?

I heard bi’s have double the chance of a date.

So why can’t I get laid?

And double of nothing still means squat.

I’m actually quite horny.

 ***

Women won’t look at a bi girl like me.

When will I ever get laid?

They say, “Pick one side and stick with it.”

But that halves my chances of getting laid.

And half of nothing still means zero.

I’m so very horny.

 ***

I’ll learn to love straight blokes again.

It’s the only way I’ll ever get laid.

I’ll tout myself out; short skirts, tits out.

That’s guaranteed to get me laid.

But my chest is cold and my skirts are long,

And my horny urges are really not that strong.

And besides, this dry spell’s not half bad.

I’ll stay home with some tea, toast and jam.

Not feel pressured to be a stereotypical bi.

Maybe I’ll remember how to smile.

 ***

You see it’s the not the end of world,

To be a mildly horny, lonely girl,

Who wants nothing more,

Than to be reasonably sore,

And sticky and rumpled and happy.

And just get laid.

 ***

When bisexual people are told we must spend all our time having sex with lots of people, it can a) be hurtful if we are also celibate or asexual, and b) leave us open to unwanted sexual advances from others.  It’s horrible to get this stereotype pushed on us by monosexual people, but it’s depressing when we start to feel we should be this way ourselves.

THIS IS THE GREATEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN

Oh God, this is so fucking true it’s embarrassing.

I would completely do total wipeout if I got some kind of bisexual crown at the end of it.

Worth if just for the Dan Savage bit!

It was a real treat for me to represent the B in LGBT at Diverse Voices, an event for U.K Black History Month.  She was joined by the talented Andra Simons, Thomas Glave and MC Angel.  The night held spoken word delights including a tale of being lost in the Carribbean sea, dealing with street harrassers on the London streets, Bermudan superstitions, and how to navigate online dating ads.  I also gave my bisexual anthem its first airing.  I was surprised at how many people liked it!  I’ll post it up soon.

Southwark Council funded the event, which was held at Woolfson and Tay bookshop.

The Bi Fete was held in London on 23rd September 2012.  It was just one of many events to celebrate Bi Visibility Day.  Over fifty attendees enjoyed cake, magic tricks and back massages, but not all at the same time!  The Human Library was popular, as was the craft table, which was enjoyed by many children who ended up covered in glitter by the end of the day.  There was also great handmade jewellery and bisexual books for sale.  It was a fun-filled event that will hopefully be repeated soon!

Bi Visibility Day may have been on 23rd, but there are still more events happening over the next few days.  Greedy are having a bisexual club night to celebrate in Bristol.  Bi’s of Colour will be hosting a Naughty Stories event on 26th September 2012.  Manchester’s Biphoria are also having an event.  See the Bi Visibility Day website for more details.

See the Bisexual Index shop for more Bi Visible t-shirts.

Bi’s of Colour at Black Pride UK 2012.

This year’s event was held at the World-famous club, Ministry of Sound.  The co-founders of Bi’s Of Colour had a stall in the indoor space.  We were all surprised at the numbers of people who wanted us to come and do a presentation at their workplace; it was positive to hear so many say that they wanted to improve the way bisexuals were treated in their organisations.

Of course, with this being a Pride event, there were a few folks who had strange ideas about bisexuality.  We received comments such as “All bi women are basically submissive!” and “People who say they’re bi-curious are really gay.”  We point those poor dears to the Bisexual Index who can put them straight, so to speak…

Overall we had a very good event, and enjoyed meeting new people who were keen to know more about bisexuality in general.  We both were glad to be at UK Black Pride, but since the weather was blisteringly hot, we were also glad to leave at six so we could have a relax and enjoy the rest of the day.

It was fantastic to have a safe space to retreat to, if we needed

Bi’s of Colour at BiCon 2012

All the bisexuals of colour who came to our session posed for this wonderful photo.  We shared an hour of talking about our experiences, good and bad of the bisexual convention.  There was a consensus that things were slowly improving for us, but there was still plenty of work to be done before BiCon became a trully welcoming  and supportive place for all bisexuals of colour.

This year there was a Bi’s of Colour flat just for us and our invited guests.  There were many shared meals in the lovely kitchen, great music on the stereo, and most importantly, a safe atmosphere free of racism, sexism, transphobia and biphobia.  Thank you to all the bisexuals of colour and our allies who helped make this weekend a blast for us!

Next year’s BiCon 2013 will be in Edinburgh

The whole Dr Who and Torchwood universe is loved by many bisexual people, and I’m no exception. I saw the Dalek after leaving a meeting of a Christian Kink group which was being held in a bookshop in central London.  The acceptance I’ve found of various genders, races, faiths and sexualities in both the fictional and real world is something that gives me hope.  It isn’t always depressing to be so different.

Whoo! That’s me!!! Glad so many of you like it.
