I want to affirm my bisexuality in small ways from the closet. How can I of this?

Unrelated but soon I have Bible study :(

I thought garlic bread is for the asexuals and we have lemon bars.

Idk I've heard garlic bread used in a lot of communities from trans, asexual, to pan and bi. I don't think I've ever heard/seen the lemon bar memes though. 🤷

Bisexuality has a long history. I think it’s really interesting and I really enjoy diving in.

You're right and I probably should've gone into a longer list of celebrities to look into for different perspectives on bisexuality than just David Bowie. He's just the first pop culture reference that personally comes to my mind. It goes all the way through history though. Ancient Greece, Rome, Japan, and China all have records talking about the practice of bisexuality in that society (even if they called it by another name). Then in more recent memory there's Bill Beasley, of course, Alan Rockway, and many more names that you can find digging deeper into bisexuality's more modern history... I'm on mobile so linking directly is kind of a pain 😅

Garlic bread is awesome. So I understand that it's so popular. And the lemon bar meme originates from reddit.

And yes, the list can get pretty long. There is so much to learn and so many awesome bisexuals in past and present. I mean...we have Julie D’Aubigny, our Sword-Fighting 17th-Century Opera Star bicon :D And to anyone interested in bisexuality or bisexual people through out the history, I can recommend the podcast Life Of Bi.
