The famous Dykes on Bikes motorcycle club has been a fixture at Pride events for decades, and the NYC Dyke March has taken place during the citys June Pride celebrations since 1993.But as the LGBTQ+ outlet also noted, Cardi identifies as bisexual, not a lesbian. While none of her online critics directly called her out on those grounds, that may be the source of at least some peoples discomfort with her use of the word. As one commenter wrote, Girl u cant say that, though it appears Cardi herself would beg to differ.Subscribe to theLGBTQ Nation newsletterand be the first to know about the latest headlines shaping LGBTQ+ communities worldwide.
