In the 1950s, the Bambi effect was a biphobic slang term for young gay men who to others seemed to go from gay to straight or expressed fluid sexuality.[1] While that usage of Bambi fell out of use, "bambi" and other terms related to deer are still used as a homophobic slurs against gay men in certain contexts.[2]
However, the modern definition and usage of bambi gay is the result of the revival of the term bambi lesbian by Tumblr user nonbinarysapphics on August 25, 2017[3], which resulted in the creation of bambi-sexualities bambi gay, squirrel bi, and fox pan. The first known use of bambi gay is by Tumblr user floramau on January 2, 2018.[4]
Flag
The first bambi gay flag was created by Tumblr user cockyroaches on December 2, 2018.[5] The colors used are meant to represent the character Thumper from the Bambi (1942) animated movie and show WLW and MLM solidarity.
