My relationship is queer.

Bi lady married to a straight cis man. What would you call our relationship? Straight?

No matter who I end up with, a straight man, lesbian woman, bi man, queer woman, etcā€¦ Iā€™ve always considered my relationship to be queer.

Referring to my relationship as ā€œstraightā€ right now just ignores the big queer elephant in the room. Me. Iā€™m the elephant. And Iā€™m tired of needing to shove myself and my relationship into a neat little box for the comfort of others.

Unfortunately I have bi people and straight people who disagree with me. A bi woman who is in a relationship with a woman and wants to label her relationship as a lesbian relationship wonā€™t let up on me about my relationship being straight no matter what I say to the contrary.

For anyone wondering what my husband thinks, he hadnā€™t really thought about it until I pointed it out and he said it makes sense to call it a queer relationship because Iā€™m never going to not be bi no matter who Iā€™m with.

If YOU wanna call your relationship queer, straight, gay, whatever elseā€¦ I RESPECT THAT! Iā€™m not here to dictate how others want to label their relationship, just wishing others would offer the same respect.

Thoughts?
