is it true that most gays and lesbians dont except bisexuals cause they like both sexes?

Question

cause i'm bisexual

Answer 1

My friend is bi and she has had to fight for her right to love whoever she loves, both within straight and lesbian/gay circles. But a lot of times it's about killing the sterotypes, myths about bisexuals/ educate people about being bi, or a jaded lover. You just have to speak up for being bi. Over time the myths will fade and bisexuals will get equal rights too.

Answer 2

There are some homosexuals who don't accept bisexuals because of misconceptions surrounding bisexuality, which are:

1. Bisexuals are confused.
2. Bisexuals are closeted homosexuals.
3. A bisexual will dump you for a member of the opposite sex.
4. Bisexuals require both male and female partners simultaneously.
5. Bisexuals are traitors - they sleep with the enemy, and can switch sides when the going gets tough.

None of the above accurately represents bisexuality.

The last point is probably what frightens a lot of gays. Whilst bisexuals are capable of passing between the gay and straight communities, they also feel hurt when forced to deny one side of themselves (attraction to a particular gender).

Answer 3

Many gays and lesbians are embracing the struggle bisexual individuals go through to claim their identity. I think the conflict comes in with the idea that bisexuals have "the best of both worlds" yet many don't realize that 'both worlds' are still in closets. Hopefully, in time, people will accept bisexuality as a valid orientation - and the fluidity of this orientation as beautiful.

Answer 4

It will always be true for some. I know a lot of gay people don't accept me b/c they say I'm "double dipping". But I think we should get rid of labels, by that i mean no more homosexuals, bisexuals, or lesbian. Everyone should just be able to love whoever they want without any criticism or be given a label like it or not.

luckily i've found a gay man whom i love unconditionally

Answer 5

Personally I think its more of a faithfulness problem in being involved in a relationship with bisexuals. Many seem to think they should get to have both even while in a relationship. That just doesn't work. I have no problem with bisexuals but I wouldn't want to fall for one either.

Answer 6

Some gay people don't accept bi-sexuals, they think that either we are gay and are denying it, or that we are straight and just doing it to tease men. True, there are girls out there that use the bisexual route to tease men and bring attention on themselves, but that only makes it worse for true bisexuals. Any gay person out there that doesn't like bisexuals only needs to remember one thing, they were born gay, and its the exact same for us, we were born attracted to both men and women.

Answer 7

Some do but, if they are gay, then they should understand the harsh critcism and rude comments people face and they shouldn't be so quick to judge others, I myselof being a lesbian am completely accepting of all walks of life and have many straight, bisexual and gay friends and we all accept each other and love each other. i hope you have a wonderful life filled with all the happiness in the world, and if someone doesn't accept you, do what I do, say to yourself, their loss.

Answer 8

I wouldn't say most, just some. It's sad, but there are many reasons they might feel this way. They might think that we are taking the easy way out by being bi, since generally, there has been less societal pressure on bisexuals. Perhaps they resent us, since we have the ability to be with anyone, not just one gender. I don't understand it, but I guess everyone has to deal with their own demons. Hopefully we can change minds.

Answer 9

This is true in the small town i live in. My bisexuality is accepted only by those i have an intimate relationship with.

Answer 10

NOT true....i have many bisexual friends and i except everyone of them as a gay man
