    I don’t know why bisexuals are memed as being given a hard time for being bisexual, and I am too afraid to ask at this point.

      There’s bunch of stereotypes surrounding bisexuals. For example, that bisexuality doesn’t exist – like that they’re actually gay, but won’t admit it, or it’s a stepping-stone to being gay. Or that they’re actually straight but just fucking with lesbians and won’t ever commit, or that they’re promiscuous and will always cheat. Or, that once they do settle down it’ll always be with an opposite-gender partner. Or that they’re cowards who’ll mask their queerness instead of supporting the LGBTQA+ community, since they can always pretend to be straight… and so much more! It fucking sucks!

        But like… Why wouldn’t they be allowed to do any of those things by others? Like are they the internal investigation department of free love movement like it’s a fucking paradox? Did they forget in 0.1ms it’s not up to them who I fuck?

          I won’t pretend that some negative stereotypes about bisexuals don’t originate from broken-hearted unisexual folks’ lived experience (which is still no excuse to defame all bisexuals), but a lot – A LOT – of bisexual stereotypes and erasure comes from old-fashioned homophobia.
