Bi Quotes

“Straight people, he thinks, probably don't spend this much time convincing themselves that they're straight.”
― Casey McQuiston, Red, White & Royal Blue

“If I was gay, I wouldn't need an asterisk beside my name. I could stop worrying if the girl I like will bounce when she finds out I also like dick. I could have a coming-out party without people thinking I just want attention. I wouldn't have to explain that I fall in love with minds, not genders or body parts. People wouldn't say I'm 'just a slut' or 'faking it' or 'undecided' or 'confused.' I'm not confused. I don't categorize people by who I'm allowed to like and who I'm allowed to love. Love doesn't fit into boxes like that. It's blurry, slippery, quantum. It's only limited by our perceptions and before we slap a label on it and cram it into some category, everything is possible.”
― Leah Raeder, Black Iris

― Aaron H. Aceves, This Is Why They Hate Us

“Lord knows why I find you attractive, Michael, when you generally smell like weed and broken hobo dreams.”

― Dahlia Adler, Cool for the Summer

“If being bi means always knowing, well, that isn't me. The only girls on my bedroom walls are my friends, and I'm certainly not into any of them that way. That settles it. I'm straight. Just like I always thought. I wait for the feeling of a weight lifting from my shoulders, but it never comes.”
― Dahlia Adler, Cool for the Summer

“The message I've gotten about guys who like guys and girls is that we're faking, that we couldn't possibly be attracted to girls if we're attracted to boys. Bi girls get the same thing, but for them it means they're perceived as straight and for us it means we're perceived as gay.”
― Aaron H. Aceves, This Is Why They Hate Us

Liv choked, the latté sloshing over the edge and onto her fingers. “You set that up to be mean,” she said, putting the cup back on the table.
Xander smirked. “I didn't actually. She's a cool chick.”
“Then why don't you date her?”
Xander's grin widened. “I did, dearest. That's why I know.”
“But I'm not gay!”
“But you might be bi,” Xander said. “You never actually said.” He waved away her protesting gasp. “I just thought you should check Mona out. Sexuality is a spectrum, Liv. Never know until you try.”
― Danika Stone, All the Feels

“I’ve never quite understood the double Janus face of bi – Janus, the Roman god of gates and doors, especially closets.”
― Paul Monette, Becoming a Man

“You are bisexual? I am bye-bye!”
― Steven Magee

“I guess Diana would be surprised that the one dressed in frills turned out to be the one skipping down the rainbow path toward bisexual city”
― Tess Sharpe, The Girls I've Been

“Looks like Quackula got the best of you,” said Jeff.

Braeden snorted. “Something like that.”

“What’d you do to it?” asked Maya.

“Nothing. I thought it was a big duck at first.” Braeden shook his head. “Never saw a goose up close before. Didn’t really think about it until it started hissing.”

Jeff rubbed the spot between his eyebrows. 'How can you grow up near a lake and not tell the difference between a duck and a goose?”
― Deidre Huesmann, Burning Britely

“This kiss is so massively different from the first two. There's no salty taste to this one, no struggling to breathe through hiccuping sobs. No eyes on us, no modesty, no hesitation. But this beautiful hunger, this urgency for closeness, this desire to lap up every sensation we can pull from each other.”
― Carlyn Greenwald, Sizzle Reel
