I so appreciated Brocks vulnerability in sharing his experience as a bisexual person. I see the courage it took him to speak up about his experience and I just want to say that you have soo much value as you are brock thank you for being yourself! You are a shining light amongst the sea of toxic masculinity. Thanks for this episode ❤
As a bi girlie I love hearing from bi men! Love this video and I admire the bravery of Brock being here and sharing his stories. He seems like such a wonderful person and I like his voice and his hair.
I think the problem of exclusion for looking straight from queer spaces does of course have all the aspects that you guys mentioned. I think there are also other aspects to this that make the answer of 'we should not police people at the door' a bit more tricky. you guys are right that people who look straight are more likely to be excluded. If you want to make queer spaces feel like safe spaces for most people there some policing at the door needs to happen. I ve had experiences with straight women treatin g drag performers like a freak show and really being disrespectful and with some queer and ally events where i dont feel safe because there are too many straight presenting man around. The obvious question becomes what should be done? and that is more tricky. Asking people at the door if they are queer is really unconftable but letting everybody in regardless of how they look makes other people feel unsave. i dont really have a good answer to the question. Maybe naming bisexual people specifically when inviting for events could help? Let me say this, as a bisexual man myself, i do agree with you guys as far as queer spaces should not force people to only show homosexual behaviour.
My partners trans however we live in the Deep South this video was very helpful even though it’s from someone else in the community, showing how just because you identify different sexually or gender wise the experience is shared.
Great video! Thanks for speaking. Just wanted to share something that I've been mulling over. It's tangential, and I'm curious if anyone agrees with my take, or could help me see where I'm off. The following is just my perspective, and it is open to change. I enjoy partner dancing as a metaphor for sex. Lead and follow. Proactive and reactive. Society at large, or at least "the patriarchy" worships leadership and shames conformity. Sometimes it feels like injustice is a signifier of sexual class. Power weld openly, perhaps cruelly, because they can, is at the core of what it means to be dominant right? I think outside of strictly traditional religious communities, people have really run with the idea that submission is this lowly thing. Like, it's alright to be a woman who likes men, but you're encouraged to take the initiative and lead the encounter. It seems like everyone likes to imply that they "wear the pants" in their relationship, or else they're looked down upon. I think that's why the guys you see being open about liking other guys express being a top, or else a power bottom, calling the shots from below. Because even the queer community seems to find being the follow in the dance as cringe.

Answer, there's probably not
I don’t think so either
