So, last November, I was driving to Denver with my sister, when she told me she identified as Asexual and felt that I should know. I think she was expecting me to ask a bunch of weird questions because she literally pulled out notes, but I got to be “Nah, it’s all good and I’m glad you feel safe enough to some out.” and since there wasn’t much more to say, we went back to swearing at the shitty drivers on I-25.
Two exits later, it occurred to me that I hadn’t actually seen my sister for a year prior and might have forgotten to come out to her when I was doing it last March. “Just to be clear- you know I’m Bi, right?”
“OH MY GOD.” she howls, making me almost plow into a pickup in surprise. “YOU’RE EITHER AND I’M NEITHER.”
I had to pull over I started laughing to hard.

I bring this up because 1. She just publicly came out and 2. SHE MADE US MATCHING SHIRTS FOR THE NEXT PRIDE. I LOVE IT.
Quick reboggle because Update:
- Sister has found herself an Ace Girlfriend and we’re all thrilled for her.
- In the interest on Gender Inclusiveness we’ve decided to to change the banner to “All Or Nothing”
- Mom went to FoCo pride this year with Bi/Pan/Ace/Queer swag and pamphlets and she had crying teenagers hug her because they were so fucking happy to have someone in their corner. So we’re doing it again next year, but with like, 500% more stuff because it ran out FAST.
- Been shaking a lot of TERFs and pro-Aphobia blogs out of my followers this week and This is your Decidedly Unfriendly Reminder that if you see fit to harass anyone about their sexuality or gender you can meet me in the fucking pit.
