the right has a bisexual black Hitler, they are more woke than I thought.

        Libs are identity puritans. They baulk at the idea of a he/him lesbian. They despise any non-binary that doesn’t fit into their neat little androgenous third gender box. They accept aces but you must swear to be lonley forever and never have sex for any reason. I could go on.

        The idea that sexuality is something more complex than liking penis or vagina is beyond them.

        probably just pattern matching since the right-wing men getting caught with male prostitutes or soliciting in an airport bathroom are never self-confident enough to stick around and say “actually i’m bi”.

        i want to see (well, not really, but morbidity) how boomer-brained media would handle a congressman or whoever getting caught giving and taking in an mmf because they’d want to call him gay but he’s simultaneously doing a woman.

          How though? Like wtf is wrong with the idea that people can like both genders at the same fucking time? It’s like being mad that people like both ketchup and mayo.

          I do not get it at all lmao

            A lot of it comes down to them thinking that bisexuals are actually just lesbian/gays in denial. There’s also the fact that they also consider bisexuals to be more likely to cheat on them, to be more likely to carry STIs and they also just consider it an ick. They think their partner of the opposite gender sleeping with someone of the same, they think it’s repulsive.

            It really just boils down to homophobia

        Biphobia is weirdly normalized. Even amongst “full” gays and lesbians. I mean its fine by me because no bisexual guy ever complained about me not being masc enough for him lol

          Bi erasure is unbelievably prevalent.

          Freddie Mercury referred to a woman as the love as his life? Nah, definitely gay and not bisexual at all.

          David Bowie literally referred to himself as bisexual multiple times? Nah, it was the drugs. Straight man!

          Janis Joplin, Debbie Harry, and Siouxsie Sioux are/were all bisexual as well and it’s hardly ever talked about.
