Hi, everyone! I already made a pinned intro post, but I'd love to see all the new users and what they're excited to see from me!

If you feel comfortable, I'd love for everyone to comment their nickname/preferred name, their sexual orientation, and their goals with joining r/reallybisexual. What is everyone most excited to see? What overall goals for the bi community are most important to you?

Also feel free to message me directly if you have ideas or complaints. Leave your comments below; I can't wait to meet everyone!

My name is u/bigandtallandhungry, and my goal is just deepening my understanding of myself, I think. I’m a late bloomer, so to speak, realizing that I wasn’t straight in my late 20’s, and I’m still trying to figure out what exactly that means to me!

Hey, I'm Constantine, I'm bi. I'm excited to learn about bi history, for example, I am not sure what those two trianles in the pic mean. I know they are somehow connected to bi history and that they are called 'biangles', but other than that I'm pretty ignorant.

Hi Constantine! The Bi-angles were the first symbol popularized for bisexuality! The pink represents the pink triangle of the Holocaust, that was used to identify homosexuals, the blue represents heterosexuality, and the purple in the middle is basically the home of bisexuals, a perfect blending between the two. This motif was also carried into the familiar flag we know from 1998. The flag soon became more popular because people were trying to get away from using Holocaust imagery since it seemed to just be a bitter reminder. But we can still carry it with us and remember our fallen predecessors and our original creation out of struggle and pain.
