Yeah, I can confirm this as well. As a straight woman who is active in the lgbtq+ crowd in her city, the majority of gay men I meet and know are not the biggest fans of bisexual ones. Quoting one friend of mine, "if your bish ass wants the best of both worlds, you can go".
Your gay friends need to educate themselves on their community then because bisexual people don’t choose to be bisexual just like they don’t choose to be gay
They don't choose to not like bi ppl either lol
It's no ones fault, if they're not attracted then they're not attracted. They shouldn't force themselves to.
Don't make bi people look like morons who say that "it's not their fault, they don't choose their sexuality", but when they're not attracted to bi people, its NOT acceptable?
Legit all they said is that they wouldn't date bi people, not that bi people aren't entitled to feel this way or even say something negative about them.
Chill and stop preaching
Nothing you just said made any sense at all just because they’re gay doesn’t excuse their biphobia, a gay man isn’t attracted to another man because they’re gay they’re attracted to them because they’re a man, stop trying to excuse people being shit people by making points that don’t make sense, biphobia in the community is an issue when in fact they should be allies like how bi people are to trans and gay or queer people
Gay people don't see every man as attractive just because they're men, they could have certain things that don't make them attractive. That's like if someone didn't like people romantically who get a tattoo, even if they liked their gender, is it being discriminating to people who choose to get tattoos? Nah they just don't like tattoos. They didn't even say negative about them, just that they wouldn't like them as a partner. Personally, I feel like this is the case. The connection just isn't really as there, but probably not for everyone ofc.
You just see it as them hating other sexualities, romantically or not.
I mean, you don't even know what I'm talking about since u never felt that way since ur bi.
if you think everything I'm saying is crazy and stupid, what did I expect? Go ahead all call everyone including other people of the LGBTQ+ community biphobic, if that's what you think
Also sorry for being rly mad, I get why u feel the way u do, for some reason I've been more angry lately.
I’m actually a lesbian to sympathise and stand with a group of people doesn’t make me those people, what you gave an example of of what your friends had said wasn’t down to preference that was pure dislike to bisexual people, biphobic people these days, also what do you mean bisexual people wouldn’t understand?? They’re not attracted to every female and male, like I said what you’re saying makes no sense
I wasn't defending biphobia or what my friend said, I was just stating that it is in fact pretty common in the gay community. And I wouldn't say it's a lack of attraction for bi people, but more the concern of having to worry about both genders and the idea of being left for the opposite. Especially as a gay man who cannot offer many things that a "man and woman" relationship can have naturally. I will say though that I do think it is a very understandable fear to have, ESPECIALLY if it's something they've already experienced once or twice because obviously anyone is going to be wary of a similar situation to one that has hurt them before.
People are getting mad about the biphobia but it's actually kinda realistic, many gay men and women often refuse to go out with bi people bc of a plethora of reasons. Myb they're scared or had a bad experience or are just not into people who are into both sexes. Yes it's bad but not like it's mentioned for the sole purpose of bashing bi people, the story is about two gay men and how they meet and that's it.
