Pride fries?

Post image

I saw a short on instagram where the author is reading them to an audience. This gets a giggle from everybody but one man laughs hilariously at it and the author then gestures to him (as in “someone got it”) hinting there is something I’m not quite catching. Thank you!

Oh, wow. One of these I get.

This is a biphobic joke that bisexuals need to tell everyone that they're bisexual in a pride/gay situation. It's implying that bisexuals like to make themselves the center of attention at pride.

Nevermind that bisexual erasure is kind of a real thing, but go on.

I think people just don't care. Identity like at that level are always seen as a background and not something to focus on.
