“When she (lesbian) and (gay) I had our first (heterosexual) kiss In the doorway of her midtown apartment, we were cautioned by a cop (straight?) I wonder if she found it as funny as I did; is Manhattan so uptight that a (straight) kiss is frowned upon?” - Laurence W. Thomas

I am begging people to understand how this sentiment of "WELL MONOSEXUALS AREN'T FLUID" (gay/lesbian/straight/whatever) is SO GOD DAMN harmful to sexual wellness (how we feel about all aspects of our sexuality - kink, fetish, BDSM, sexual orientation, poly vs mono for partners, etc.).

EVERYONE ON THIS GOD DAMN EARTH has the POTENTIAL to have some "wiggle room" or fluidity when it comes to what we find attractive in other human beings. We are social by nature. Even Aros and/or aces have the potential to experience brief instances of attraction towards someone, this doesn't magically cancel out their own identity. If a lesbian finds a man "hey, you got a nice looking body" or a gay man "hey that girl looks physically attractive" or a straight person "hey, I can see the aesthetic beauty in this person" DOES NOT MAGICALLY CANCEL OUT THEIR IDENTITY. Holy mother of God and burritos.

When ppl support abrosexual ppl but not homoflexible and heteroflexible...hm

[floralcavern]

Percy Jackson LGBT headcanons? Don’t mind if I do.

Percy: Heteroflexible. He had a moment where he realized ‘Oh shit, maybe I’m not as straight as I thought..!’ after doing a workout session with Jason. He felt so guilty about being attracted to someone else’s looks, he immediately told Annabeth, freaking out and not knowing what to do, but she put a hand on his shoulder and said “Percy.. hun.. I love you, but I think you should know I’m the exact same way with Piper. But you’re the only person I love. It’s ok to think someone else is attractive occasionally. But thank you for telling me. Also, I’m bi.”

Annabeth: Bisexual. How else would the charmspeak work so damn well on her?

Grover: straight ally, but he has bi-wife energy

Nico: He’s already canonically gay. So not much to say here.

Thalia: Aro spec lesbian. I take 0 criticism. (When I was first reading the series, I thought her and Zoë were salty exes lmfao)

Jason: Pansexual. He’s attracted to Piper, Leo, Percy, everyone and he doesn’t know what to do about it because all of his friends are so damn hot.

Piper: homoflexible. She thought she was straight because her first crush was Jason, but she realized that she is usually attracted to women. Her and Percy are heteroflexible-homoflexible solidarity.

Leo: Have you SEEN him? What a bi disaster.

Frank: Straight ally, but he is aesthetically attracted to men

Hazel: heteromantic asexual. Not much to say here, I just like the headcanon

I’m currently only on Son of Neptune and I’m only in ~150 pages right now, so these are the only characters I really know enough about to give them headcanons.

Brolly gay for mspec-achilleans specifically

mlm/nbylm

For homoflexible or any mspec achilleans that use gay as umbrella term for their orientation.

REBLOG TO SCARE EXCLUSIONISTS

[chronicallyqueercoining2]

INFO AND CREDITS LINKED HERE!!!

Boreagay- Being gay normally, but having exceptions to being gay. Usually revolves around a single person. Ex: You're normally attracted to one gender, but this one specific person, who's a gender you're not normally attracted to, is attractive to you.

Said exceptions typically are "different", such as them being GNC or the lines between platonic and/or sexual/romantic attraction, with this person, beinh blurred. One may be reciprosexual/romantic and thus one may feel attraction towards this person if they feel attraction towards one.

One may not feel attraction to this gender otherwise, but the exception to their identity may be relating to how the identity of the person or their relationship with the person is strange/unusual/"different."

[its-my-own-path]

I found this on Pinterest and I just, have a bad taste in my mouth about it

I know it’s a joke, it’s something that isn’t meant to be taken seriously. But I, I beg. Don’t put flexible terms under bi, don’t put neptunic and Uranic under bi. Those idenities are mspec, not bi, bi isn’t the umbrella people think it is.

I am neptunic-flexible, I am not a bi person. I never accounted myself as bi. Of course I’m not everyone’s stories, I’m not everyone’s tales. But to a point it makes me upset to see people to just, lump all those identities together. Not to mention that post likes this could encourage people who want to generalize and just, mesh identities together.

Note: this post is not meant to start discourse. This is me just expressing my annoyance with this.

[bentonthegay]

I made a post about labels being as useful/important as you make them and I want to branch off of that to specifically talk about the m-spec umbrella.

A lot of discourse exists over this but aside from that, I know a lot of people have struggled with not knowing exactly where they sit on that spectrum, when they have imposter syndrome with the label(s) they have chosen, dealing with being invalidated, etc. so heres some validation:

You're not inherently transphobic/enbyphobic for identifying as bisexual. Maybe it's just the term that's felt comfortable for so long and that's chill. Maybe you like it because it's a bit more vague than some other labels, maybe you use one of the lesser "known" definitions of bi even if it's a long standing one (i.e. attraction to the same gender as yourself and other genders), or maybe it's just the label you vibe with and the specific reason doesn't really matter!

Pansexuality doesn't mean you can't occasionally crave interactions (romantic/sexual/sensual) with people of specific genders! If your version of pansexuality is attraction regardless of gender, that doesn't mean that occasional drifts from your norm/usual magically means you have to change your label.

Omnisexuality isn't the exact same as pansexual and I know a lot of y'all are tired of hearing that it is. Overlap certainly exists and many people could identify as one or the other, but that's true for so many labels on different spectrums.

To my polysexuals, I too am frustrated with the constant correlation to polyamory (people think they're the same thing). I don't even identify as polysexual and I feel that pain.

You're still homo/heteroflexible even if you're dating one of your exceptions/rare cases of attraction to someone of that gender. You don't have to drop this label if it makes you happy and brings you comfort. Your sexuality is not invalidated by the person(s) you are dating.

M-spec gays/lesbians are so valid and boiling sexuality down to 100% strict AF labels is harmful. There's so many reasons one may identify as such, and regardless of your reasons, it's not any stranger's business.

Abrosexuals (who consider themselves/their label mspec) aren't confused. You're not doing anything wrong by acknowledging your sexuality is fluid and embracing that.

The multisexual umbrella is such a diverse and expensive spectrum that trying to reduce people down to one strict definition of being attracted to multiple genders is silly. Sexuality as a whole is a very complicated thing and can be experienced in so many ways. Sometimes something is just too vague for you personally, or even too specific, and that's chill. Whatever label or lackthereof makes you happy is the right choice.
