It’s a well-known fact on the internet that LGBTQ people cannot sit properly. Just ask artist Má Matiazi.
Matiazi recently sketched the design for a “bi-chair” for “people who can’t sit straight.”
When Israel Walker, an amateur woodworker, saw the design, he used it build the chair for his queer daughter then posted about it on social media, where it quickly went viral.
So, an artist named Má Matiazi drew this awesome sketch "The Bi-Chair: for people who can't sit straight". My daughter…
Posted by Israel Walker on Saturday, August 10, 2019
“My daughter loves the chair,” Walker tells Bored Panda. “She is really excited about how much positive attention we’ve gotten for bi and non-binary folks.”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
“I’m happy to see people sharing and having fun with the sketch,” Matiazi adds. “Bisexuality is invisible in most conversations, so it’s nice to see my sketch about it getting so much visibility.”
And now, the tweets…

how to tell they’re gay:
• they do not sit in chairs properly.
the real homosexual agenda is sitting on tables. or floors. or two chairs at once with your feet up on the other chair.

I hate the dam spam for the secret gay singles website! Why can’t Queerty do something about this shit. I am beginning to not to even want to visit the website because of the dam spam. I get enough of it in my emails without seeing it everywhere on this site.
PLAYS WELL WITH OTHERS
Graham, you dived really deep into the Douchbagery cesspool for this one…..
Stupid, vapid, demeaning, ridiculous attempted stereotyping thread….

Wow. Maybe instead of selling your wares here you should be calling the CDC and sharing your cure with everyone.

THIS IS NOTHING BUT BLATANT STEREOTYPING AND HOMOPHOBIA…
No, just because this is a gay website does not make you immune or incapable of delivering what evil small minded people do…
Lastly, don’t try any of that “if you can’t laugh at yourself garbage” because this is just stupid small minded garbage about gay people…
Brian
So I’m guessing the reason you don’t sit properly is because of the huge stick up your butt? Lighten up, gurl.

Maybe there’s a correlation between being gay and restless leg syndrome. I’m being serious btw

Alright, I’m not /trying/ to be stupid, this is authentic stupidity: exactly how does a person “sit properly?” Some of the photos look perfectly normal to me.
JJinAus
I can’t sit properly. That’s because I am very tall and the army fucked me up physically and I have a bad back, knees and ankles. I just happen to be gay. PS, no, I don’t get any compensation for my physical state, I just have to endure it.
Wicked Dickie
Sorry to hear that. Have you contacted the Disabled American Veterans (DAV) organization? They can help you fight for compensation. Good luck.
JJinAus
I’m not American.
RexRed
Sit in a chair properly? Sometimes… On the floor? Not gonna happen… 🙂
Terry
Well, the article may be vapid and one that stereotypes us, but I thought it was hilarious. I can’t sit straight, mainly because I have a disability. And I’m pretty damn gay. Unless my legs can be somewhat stretched out, every single chair is an uncomfortable challenge. And don’t get me started about airline seats on long flights.
Itsonlythetruth
By far one of the most ridiculous articles I have ever read on Querrty.
Guy12345678
It’s true though. Gay people almost always sit in a non-traditional way it seems
winemaker
Like who really gives a rats ass on how other people si, gay or straight? . Evidently a lot of people have a lot of free time on their hands.. Really this is a nonsense story and waste of time
