"Gay Passing" Bisexuals in Same Gender Relationships

In this episode of Give It To Me Bi, we tackle the nuanced experiences of bisexual people in same-gender relationships. Have you ever felt "not straight enough to be bi"? For many bi+ individuals, being in a queer-presenting or same-gender relationship often leads to being mistaken as gay or lesbian, resulting in unique challenges and privileges.

We unpack what it means to navigate the world as a bi person in a same-gender relationship, the dynamics of "gay-passing" privilege, and how these intersections shape identity, community, and visibility. We also explore how to embrace your bisexuality fully, foster meaningful connections, and address feelings of imposter syndrome within the LGBTQIA+ community.

Highlights include:

• Navigating "gay-passing" privilege and the visibility struggle in same-gender relationships
• Overcoming internalised biphobia and toxic masculinity in forming same-sex platonic friendships
• Dating in same-sex circles as a bisexual person—unique joys, challenges, and navigating spaces
• How your partner can support your visibility and identity

Plus, we dive into listener questions and comments, including a video submission on why it's important to clarify "gay-passing" relationships, and explore how to find pride in your unique place in the queer spectrum.

This is a can't-miss episode for anyone navigating identity, visibility, and community as a bisexual person in same-gender relationships.
