Lux Alptraum: Is Arizona's Sen. Sinema bad for bisexual Americans? - NBCNewsTHINK

Bi women are constantly told we’re untrustworthy, that our attraction to multiple genders means we’re more likely to cheat. We’re called greedy for finding more than one gender attractive, “confusing” for liking more than one gender and self-absorbed because apparently our brains are unable to think about much beyond our own sexual gratification. Within the LGBTQ community, bisexuals can be viewed as fair-weather members at best — likely to bail the second we stop having fun.

Want more articles like this? Follow THINK on Instagram to get updates on the week's most important political analysis “Is she bad for the bisexuals?” I find myself wondering on a nearly daily basis. It feels uncharitable to put so much responsibility on one woman’s shoulders. Yet given that she’s arguably the most prominent bisexual woman in the nation, it feels fair to wish she’d put a little more effort into being a bit less of a stereotype.

At the same time, I find myself wondering why Sinema’s sexuality matters so much to me in the first place. What does “bisexual representation” actually mean in this instance?One obvious answer is that bisexuals have a unique perspective that should ideally be helpful when crafting legislation. There’s no question that bisexuals face our own particular challenges when it comes to topics like sexual health, mental health and abuse and assault.

THINK What’s her sexual preference got to do with anything? Seriously digging the dirt under her nails doesn’t make you look better!! Grow up

THINK 🙄🙄

THINK i feel like any article to start with such a weird question forgets is: there's billions of awful straights

THINK She’s bad for humans

THINK Oh jesus. Can you just not stick to this woman's politics (or lack of them). Anything to make a buck, right?

THINK Hate her for the right reasons instead, maybe?

THINK She’s bad for humans generally.

THINK Again…journalism is now journaling.

THINK Gotta love the hypocrisy there. “Love is Love” but also “You’re not being bisexual correctly.”

THINK I see Sinema more as a stereotype for an over dominant Narcissist. Her sexuality for me has nothing to do with it beyond how any narcissist uses sex for power.

THINK POTUS 'in a fleece vest' did i hear that correctly - it took me a while to process that thru my main frame 😮😮 what on EARTH is the malfunction w/ u & ur WRITERS that shoulda never been wrote for u to utter - NO PRESIDENT of MY REPUBLIC woulda SAID SUCH in a SPEECH PressSec

THINK Seriously? Attack her policies, attack her flip flopping, attack her reticence to do things she said she ran over. But my goodness? This? It's disgusting and small and irrelevant. What's your next story ? Is Kyrie bad for African Americans? Low and terrible. Shame

THINK “Ok, she doesn’t vote the way the herd says, so now I’ll put her down as much as I can, after all, cancel culture doesn’t exist”

THINK Who cares who she sleeps with?

THINK It seems as if you don’t like her because of her politics. It has nothing to do with any other aspect of her life. The article is Soviet style personal destruction of anyone who thinks for themselves.

THINK Libs always have to label and group people. I didn’t know and don’t care that she is bi.

THINK she's not untrustworthy because shes bi, shes untrustworthy because she takes bribes from big pharma to do their bidding.

THINK 😳 She is NOT the most prominent bisexual woman in the nation! Oh, it is too early for this nonsense. 🙄 I need coffee.

THINK How would you like to make $22,000 weekly trading forex/binary options with just a little investment capital of $1,000. message me for more info on how to get started. Success doesn't look for you... Track it down...message me for more info... Invest now...

THINK seriously stop posting this BS and harming the lgbt comminutity trying to claim sinema's indecision has ANYTHING to do with sexuality. wtf is your problem. whoever wrote this article, FU

THINK

THINK Google the Psychological Profile of a bisexual woman.. Dr. Rukminesh Mehta, PsyD (abd) (202) 250-1931 rukstrategicsummary.org

THINK I don’t care what she does in the bedroom! I care how she dresses. I just wish she would do her fuckin job!

THINK Bad for bisexuals? She's bad for America.

THINK Lux Alptraum is bad for journalism and the LGBT community.

THINK I will set up, optimize pinterest marketing, pins, and boards create professionally😮Offering price is going on😮 visit this site:

THINK Her last name makes me think of the movie theatres

THINK She’s bad for ALL Americans! Whether they know it or not

THINK similarly.. contrary to this stereotype: closest living human relative is bonobo chimp, entire species is basically bisexual. not so unlikely the most natural state of human sexuality is bisexuality.. why are you talkin *?

THINK She's just bad for America in general

THINK wtf you run this as TRUE the stereotype Bi people are inherently wishy washy. becase of sinema? seriously BS msnbc! Almost as bad as chappells uneducated TERF nonsense. kind of ironic given 'de la chappelle syndrome' is blatant contradiction to his claim

THINK Instead of “Sinema/bisexual,” substitute any other person and minority group in the headline and there would be outrage. Offensive piece. Is Buttigieg bad for gay Americans? Is Rachel Levine bad for trans Americans?

THINK Ms Sinema isn’t good for anyone…. At All! 🤨

THINK 'We dont claim her'

THINK 4th estate is the perfect embodiment of everything that’s is wrong with our society. Corrupt girl boss corrupt Barbie is the real victim here, after all. The planet will be fiiiiiine. Oceanfront property is worth sacrificing our children for.

THINK Sinema’s politics suck and I find her antics and sartorial choices juvenile but this piece is not it. And as someone living proudly under the Bi umbrella I feel I should inform the writer that Angelina Jolie is obviously the most prominent American bisexual.

THINK She left SenatorTimScott grinning ear to ear.

THINK That’s dumb, so if you’re bisexual and don’t believe everything that all bisexuals are supposed to believe in… then you’re not a good bisexual person? Seems like you only like “your people” if they agree with you.

THINK This is a stupid article. Not one thing about what specifically she did wrong. Stop writing 'as a bisexual' if it's not about the literal stereotypes and is instead about how her conduct is like that. You're just an embarrassment to bisexuality.

THINK I don't know about that but she's bad for humans. SenatorSinema kyrstensinema

THINK Depends on who's she's bedding down... a Man or Woman! If either is, Republican or Democrat!

THINK Sodomites.

THINK This is quite possibly the dumbest take I've read today. And that's saying a lot.

THINK Oh, ffs. Why make everything about this? So embarrassing.

THINK This is a disgusting article. What do someone’s sexual preferences have to do with their political decisions? This article is shameful.

THINK “I don’t agree with someone, are they bad for America?” is woke

THINK I think that worries me less than her being an unabashed lobbyist parading around as a Senator She's only interested in grifting and living large, she doesn't have a reason for her positions, and thinks plutocrats are her real constituents

THINK You’re a bisexual author bringing her sexuality in a discussion about her being good/bad at ber job. You’re the one who’s bad for bisexuals, leave her sexuality alone. Thank you - from a fellow bi woman.

THINK Last gasps of a bankrupt legacy media…its just sad n pathetic at this point ..smh

THINK Put it this way: if Kyrsten Sinema we’re straight, she’d still be a horrible excuse of a senator.

THINK my opinion is , she HOT,, there I said it. Girl got Rack A Pinion Steering and I ain't got a problem with it. There, now ban me. lol

THINK Wow! I’m pretty sure the person who wrote this hates herself bcuz she makes a lot of judgements about bi individuals that have never crossed my mind to assume about bi individuals! How dare she make all those judgemental assumptions! Each person is different!

THINK This an Alptraum take. German for nightmare.

THINK She’s bad for all Americans

THINK She’s a great example of what not to be

THINK this is biphobic Do 👏 better 👏

THINK If you didn't have a reason to never waste time with NBC News, this tweet should do it.

THINK Identity politics is bad. Stop electing anyone based on their identity

THINK Lol they are literally equating her bi-sexuality with her bi-partisan tendencies

THINK Hey NBC I don’t always watch RuPaul’s drag race, am I bad for gays?

THINK Journalism has hit an all time low

THINK When people lament the slow death of mainstream news orgs, show them stuff like this. Or, the articles saying Condoleezza Rice or Larry Elder are the faces of white supremacy. They deserve their decline, I welcome it.

THINK My gut instinct tells me she’s not bisexual. She’s trisexual. She’ll tri anything to line her pockets.

THINK This is shit.

THINK You idiots need to go out of business

THINK Bad for Americans. Why discriminate?

THINK politician doesn’t do what I want therefore she is bad for everyone with her sexual preferences is one hell of a take

THINK She’s bad for all Americans

THINK Definitely

THINK Is Tim Scott bad for Black Americans? Is Ted Cruz bad for bearded, jerk Americans? Sinema is just bad for America; her sexuality has nothing to do with it.

THINK Embarrassing.

THINK She’s irrelevant on that subject

THINK gross

THINK Why aren't you covering the event that took place on 1/6.

THINK .SenatorSinema is bad for all Americans. Full stop.

THINK She's Bi all right. Calling herself a Dem but acting as Republican, satisfying no one.

THINK these are the headlines Sinema bad for bisexuals -Jenner bad for transsexuals - Chappelle/Owens/Irving/rice bad for blacks - common denominator they don’t March in line

THINK Not just for bisexuals. Sinema is bad for everyone except herself and her corporate pimps.

THINK Democrats eat their own, hilarious.

THINK White straight cis christain men get 2b judged on their own merits & no one talks about how this look bad for other men/christians/whites. Can't we insist on the same for other groups? she's bad for bisexuals only so long as we keep acting like she's a stand-in for all of us.

THINK She's bad for ALL Americans, period

Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) is feeling the heat after the resignation of members of her veterans advisory councilArizona's Democratic Senator Kyrsten Sinema is under increasing pressure after five members of her veterans advisory council resigned in protest, accusing her of being “one of the principal obstacles to progress” because she refuses to back key provisions of President Biden’s agenda. MSNBC’s Ayman Mohyeldin spoke to David Lucier, one of the five veterans who left Sinema’s team, about the resignations and what this all means for the Build Back Better Act and Sinema's future. AymanM Sen Sinema has made a reckless U-turn, since she touted a liberal agenda, way back when she was elected. The enigmatic Sinema has given Dems whiplash, w her erratic moves & failure to be transparent. Manchin will let u know where he stands. So there's a chance for compromise! AymanM As Jimmy Hoffa once said, 'Everybody as a price.' AymanM They found: Sinema is a Shill for the GOP. She, like Manchin are Republicans in sheep's clothing. W/their roles in the Senate being: a. Hinder Biden's agendas b. Sabotage bills (last minute pullout) c. Self-Deal & personally profit from corporate donors Sinema_isashillforthegop
