azuremist: I couldn’t find one that has been created yet, so I decided to try and coin a bambi bisexual flag! The reason why this term was popularized was because of a tumblr post, alleging that the term ‘bambi lesbians’ originated in the 1980s, meaning a lesbian more interested in kisses and cuddles than sex . The oldest and nearest label to ‘bambi lesbian’ has been found in the second edition of 'The Alyson Almanac’, an LGBT+ reference guide for Bostonians, which defines bambi-sexuality as ‘physical interaction centered more about touching, kissing, and caressing than around genital sexuality.’ The definition which this book provides us with says nothing about specific sexualities and, thus, the term 'bambi’ can rather be assumed to be for those of all sexualities. In modern usage, ‘bambi’ is commonly used by ace-spec people, but is not exclusively used by ace-specs, nor do all ace-spec people adopt this label. This flag was, obviously, inspired by the classic pink and brown bambi lesbian flag by @wuvsbian. Wuvsbian explains that the brown represents the deer, while the pink “would represent the love between women”. While creating my bambi bisexual flag, I decided to shift the pink to a purple, due to the fact that the pink represented lesbianism in the bambi lesbian flag. Purple, I felt, would be the color from the bisexual flag to best represent bisexuality as a whole by. The purple represents bisexuality / biromanticism, bi history and bi community. The off-white represents all sorts of love, romantic or platonic, as well as recognition appreciation of the ace-specs who use this term. The brown represents deer, which are heavily associated with this term, as well as the preference of kisses, cuddles, and similar affections to sex. This flag is free to be used by any bisexual, excluding TERFs, transphobes, pedos, and other such icky people. I also ask that pr0-shippers not use this flag, just for my own comfort.
