There’s only one day left in Pride month, so this news is coming in just under the wire, but we’re learning that in honor of Pride month, IKEA has designed a set of “Love Seats” inspired by different Pride flags. BoingBoing reports that these aren’t going to be sold in stores. Their reporter’s favorite is the one inspired by the bisexual flag, which has pillows that say, “When you change and to or, nobody believes you.”

OK, there’s an actual explanation for this thing:
Hey everyone, I’d love to explain the NOBODY BELIEVES YOU love seat! The line “when you change ‘or’ to ‘and’, nobody believes you” is from a poem I wrote in high school about bisexual erasure I experienced from an ex-partner and others.

I’m a spoken word poet and the hands are meant to represent the audience reaction, especially those of other bisexual folks who would approach me after performances and share their story with me.

— bisexual couch guy brian (@braino_drano) June 29, 2021
Btw for those confused by the excerpt from the poem, the original full line is “it’s okay to love boys or girls, but when you change ‘or’ to ‘and’, nobody believes you”
— bisexual couch guy brian (@braino_drano) June 29, 2021
thank you for bringing us the bisexual nightmare couch.
