jane the virgin: portraying a bisexual man in a healthy relationship and slaying biphobes since 2017
It’s really interesting what she says “I can’t give you what a man can.” A lot of gay men avoid relationships with bi men because they worry that they can’t provide what a woman can. People, gay or straight, think that for a bi person the grass is always greener on the other side.
Straight men and lesbians have said the same. It’s insecurity rooted in the notion that bi people have all the options constantly at their fingertips AND are insatiable. We don’t choose a team, we choose a person. A failure to understand this mostly boils down to people not believing bisexuality is real.
I asked an old widow once, how were you and your late husband able to brew such powerful love and respect for 77years. She said to us: “My dear son, my dear daughter, the truth is gender role at my home was simply LOVE and not a duty. So, it’s up to you two to define your own love and constantly redefine it with your own understanding of your love. She said, for no two homes are the same and never should be compared to each other. Every love and family is tailor made. Do what make your love and family healthy.” I cook for her, she cooks for me, and that does not change who I am as a person. Im a real man.
Just a love story to inspire the season of love and family.
