Bi symbols...just a thought

[biblkman]

I've seen a couple threads on here that really got me curious as to how showing your bi to other bi people without outing yourself.

I don't think its possable, there are far too many people who know what tthese symbols mean.

For instance...I liked the idea of a previous post about the 2 moons and the post about bi beard, but it would seem very difficult to were either, without someone who isn't bi (closeted ) recognizing and if there just mean outing you.

But it would be nice to have a secret bi symbol only recognized by other secretly bi people, not just for sex but to meet socialize and be part of a like minded community.

Anyway just a thought.

This has been a subject on numerous sites. The main reason there is no symbol is because there is no organization in the bi community like there is in gay pride. We have seen the same topic discussed at adult oriented nudist resorts and swingers groups. There is no agreement on a symbol simply because of a lack of organization. Every group has a different idea and none seem to agree with the other. We have seen different color wrist bands used at meet and greets, necklaces used at nudist resorts etc. None were universally accepted or even known outside that particular group or geographical area. Until there is some coming together and organization it won't happen.

Welickit, I agree with the observation. What do you think about the idea that, actually, bisexuality is ubiquitous in the species, and therefore unable to be categorized? If there was a linear scale of human sexuality, we'd be the nexus!

Well, like it or not, (I don't) the bisexual flag seems to be the symbol as far as colour scale. People have posted on here how the colour style has been used for jewelry. Here is one for painting your nails. Although a guy who might use these colours may not be seen as bi. Nothing wrong with painting a guy's nails ..its the colours. Maybe just one thumb nail? (less is more philosophy)..dunno. I would rather darken quite a bit all the red, purple and blue.(fek'n artsie me :) Some may like it..individual tastes.

On the positive side, I heard in a podcast Brother Michael Oboza(bi activist in Chicago) state that he wore the bi flag during a Pride parade and lots of gay and lesbians asked him about it.

Dude you REALLY need to come out of the closet. There's already a bisexual symbol and it's the bisexual flag like Tenni wrote about. What would be the point of having a "secret" symbol for bisexuality that's only recognized by other people who are in the closet? Even if there was such a thing I doubt most closeted people would even acknowledge it on another closeted person who isn't out.

Dude, why does he REALLY need to come out of the closet? Maybe he works a high profile job that could suffer our even be list if he did. Maybe he's got a homophobic family member with a bad heart who could literally die if he did. Maybe he has kiss that as a good parent he refuses to saddle with the stigma of being that bi guys kids. What he needs is an answer to his question that doesn't involve someone who knows nothing about him telling him what he REALLY needs to do!

damn the typos! That should be job lost and kids not kiss

Just one major comment.. a secret isn't a secret if known by more than one. There is nothing to keep anyone from learning of it if it is ever created and utilized and using for ill intentions.

Try getting out and meeting more people. We are everywhere! :)

Also develop your bidar, and just maybe people will pick up that you're bisexual? Telling others that you are bisexual will not hurt. Do you have any friends who are LGBT? Ask them to introduce you to their friends.
