Oh they definitely exist, especially towards bi and trans people.

 

IDK if you or anyone else can explain but is there a reason why those in the LGBT community are biased against bisexuals?

 

A part of it is gatekeeping, they don’t see bi people as actually gay and that they’re doing it for attention or to have more partners. There’s also resentment, as they feel that bi people don’t get the same level of ire that they receive from bigots and homophobes. It’s a part of a larger problem in the community imo, that a fairly large percentage of white gay people, both gay men and lesbians, are bigoted towards non-white LBTGQAI+ people and they use their sexuality to try and weasel their way around their bigotry when called out.

 

i'm bisexual and i got some flack for dating a cis dude. it was said, i cannot be any spectrum of queer/gay because i'm in a cis relationship.

or if a woman gets in a relationship with a woman then afterwards the next two relationships are with a man, then they must be doing it for attention and not gay. just a lot of toxicity.

 

I should add that this happens to other white LBGTQAI+ people too, forgot to put that in there.

 

oooo yeah, i forgot about that aspect. that i was somehow greedy because i 'want' attention from both sides. i was very confused and thus i came out very late (24, i'm now 29) because i was just internally fighting with the term 'bisexual' due to the hate.

 

This is why I prefer the term queer, technically I’m bi but I have my personal preferences in partners and I don’t like being given such a ridged label like bi.

 

true, i guess it just seems super outdated now

 

My girlfriend has dealt with this situation as well.

 

The fact that he put "she's not my type" at #1 tells you everything you need to know

 

I can’t any more.

 

i mean all he has to do is say Iran did 9/11 like ISIS did and he's right

 

Good words from Cuomo

 

I think even the billionaires realize that we’re getting close to violence.

 

Can we vote to impeach the media too cause they fucking suck

 

If they really thought this all the silicon valley bros would be coming up with guillotine apps
