You can bring your boyfriend to pride as long as he is respectful of the community (not asking every sapphic person he sees for a 3some, not saying slurs, not giving weird looks to trans ppl). It’s all about keeping the environment safe for others

I completely agree with your sentiment but like its so funny to me bc my partner is a straight cis guy and he's gone to more prides then me sometimes it was for fun with his friends, he was helping with the set up, or bc he was helping a friend with their booth

I love how all this discourse is about bi women. Nobody talks about bi men bringing straight women to pride, and sure, its probably bc women pose less of a threat, but i feel like part of it is misogyny and being more critical of women than they are of men

Honestly I was worried about this, but this is reassuring. Both me and my bf are bi but we appear straight. I want us to be able to celebrate our queerness and relationship together but I'm always scared of being unwelcome or making others uncomfortable

Nowhere was I saying that I don’t think straight cis ppl can be good allies, one of my closest friends is a great ally and is a cis man, sadly they are a rarity (at least in my experience). Like some of the most homophobic and transphobic ppl I have met will have a partner who is queer in a way that the man finds socially acceptable

I feel like it is bc men are more likely to become violent and aggressive. I have been told by so many men (in queer spaces and in other spaces) that they can fuck the gay out of me (even by men dating other queer women). I have been slapped in a gay bar for turning down a 3some and called a dirty dyke

For me it is more so I’m scared of violence and this is just a be aware of who you are bringing into queer safe spaces, and if a straight woman was going around behaving in this same manner, I would be hesitant of the bi man who thought it would be okay to bring her into that environment
