Hello and happy Monday dear friends! I’ve been collecting lots of tid-Bi-ts of news for you, but one particular piece of pop culture has come to my attention which I feel I cannot in good conscious ignore. And although it is less of a correction and more of a happy update, I feel responsible as a Bisexual news and culture curator to call out developments in areas I reported on in the past.
In my 2nd post, make Mean Girls gay you cowards, I stated that Reneé Rapp, the triple threat actor portraying Regina George in the 2024 Mean Girls movie musical, was Bisexual. And at the time of publication, that was most of the world’s understanding of Rapps identity as well. Well, my friends that is no longer the case. Over the past week of Mean Girls press and her SNL appearance Rapp stated very clearly that she is a Lesbian. And as the comments on this twitter post aptly state, while we in the Bisexual community mourn the loss of a truly incredible Bicon, when Goddess closes a door she opens a window, and we celebrate Reneé Rapp’s journey and express joy and love for the Lesbian community.
This tweet was likely inspired by this sketch from SNL in which Rapp appears as the “little lesbian intern” for Bowen Yang and Jacob Elordi’s lip reading consultancy.
She also discusses her identity with Andy Cohen in this clip which I cannot embed in this post for some reason because Elon Musk is ruining twitter and the world in general.
So on behalf of the Bisexual community, congratulations Reneé Rapp! We wish you many requited big lesbian crushes, and pray your time in the limelight will be less damaging than it has for It Girls of times passed (for more on that watch this excelent video essay by kayla says). We’ve still got a big Bisexual crush on you!
I will leave you, as in did in the 2nd post, with the queer joy that is Reneé Rapp and Megan Thee Stallion. This time live on SNL!
