ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Bisexual politics

Imagine there are different kinds of toys at a toy store. Some kids like to play with dolls, and some kids like to play with trucks. But there are also kids who like to play with both dolls and trucks - they're called "bi-toyful" kids!

Just like how there are different kinds of toys, there are also different kinds of people. Some people like boys, some people like girls, and some people like both boys and girls - they're called "bi-people"!

Sometimes, people who only like boys or only like girls don't understand people who like both. They might say mean things or try to make them feel bad for being different. But just like how it's okay for kids to play with any toy they like, it's okay for people to like whoever they like.

That's where bisexual politics come in. We want to make sure that people who like both boys and girls are treated the same as everyone else. We want them to have the same rights and opportunities, and we want them to feel safe and accepted in our communities.

So, just like how we should all be kind and respectful to each other at the toy store, we should also be kind and respectful to all different kinds of people, including bi-people.
