the second anyone does the same against them, the cries of injustice come winging out? Anyone?
I'm referring mainly to the bullsh!t attitude that people who are bi are more likely to be unfaithful, are 'confused', can't make up their minds, are selfish, etc. Society has FINALLY gotten over the attitude that gay people are promiscuous drug-using freaks (well, the right-wing religious nuts still think gay people are like that, but who really cares what they think?), so why is there this bias against biosexuals in the gay community? Personally, I think it's jealousy and sour grapes. Some of us are attracted to PEOPLE, not a penis or vagina.
So why the fear and mistrust?

It's the collectivist mentality from people who derive their identity from belonging to a group. They don't judge people as individuals, they just discriminate against anyone who doesn't fit the superficial mold of their collective.

Great Question! I also think the personality is more attractive that the person. I tell gay people I am gay, because whenever I've said I am bi, they laugh and said that I am just not 100% out of the closet. But I think they it's mostly the people who wish that they could have said that, who tries to bring you down. I think being Bi is more attractive and gay people know that. ( With "more attractive" I mean more exciting) So those who are bi are more of a challenge and excitement for others and much more interesting and therefore a threat to gay people.

all people discriminate whatever their sexual orientation, colour, nationality etc etc. the only thing that we can try to do is rise above it. there is a lot of biphobia in the straight and gay community but not as much in the gay community. many gay people will class me as gay and i used to be offended but now i am not. i think bi or gay we are still a part of the gay community and not the straight community and that's what i think some gay people are trying to say. i am bi but sometimes i just say i am gay because bisexuality is very complicated to explain as i varies in different degrees.
i'm all for bi pride but some discrimination isn't it's actually confusion on their side

In every community you find your morons. The gay community is no different. There is a large portion of the gay community that is bigoted against other sexual preferences.
Live and let live would seem to the the mottoof any group trying to attain and maintain civil rights and acceptance, but every group ends up isolating themselves with their own bigoted ideas.

i don't hate you. I somewhat have buddies who're gay. yet I do think of it is an unnatural and risky existence-type. it is fairly evident that there are 2 opposite sexes for a reason and that the female and male anatomy have been designed to pass mutually in specific techniques for a reason. I war to be attentive to how people who call themselves rational and medical can turn around and deny that actuality of nature and biology. And the evolutionists who will turn around and deny that homosexuality does not contribute to survival of the species yet they declare it to be a genetic trait. How might that paintings? yet lower back, i don't condemn or oppose you. you're who you're. I do oppose gay marriage nevertheless in basic terms because of the fact i individually have self belief marriage is a the two a social and non secular covenant meant to be between a guy and girls persons. it is a lifelong dedication to love, honor, and carry on the factor of one yet another. It has already been so cheapened in our society and that i think of families and society are suffering because of the fact of that loss. i think of you're able to desire to get an identical civil rights as male/lady couples, yet I view marriage as a lot extra advantageous than a civil covenant. i'm specific i'm going to get the thumbs down and that i'm specific you will think of i'm a bigot, yet it incredibly is basically my opinion. BTW, I somewhat have in no way, and in no way will, call every person queer, fairy, or the different derogative term, and that i individually do not hate each and every individual for being gay even though it is a existence-type i don't approve of.

Discrimination is always wrong. But I probably wouldn't date a bisexual either. It's too easy for a man to step back into a hetero relationship which is acceptable by everyone. I would never be comfortable with that hanging over my head. I did say probably though, because if I fell for someone and I did think it stood a chance of lasting, I would do it.

more generalizations. Not everyone behaves this way - I have never seen evidence of this with my own circle of friends.
Bisexual men and women face unique challenges. At some emotional level, they get different things from male and female partners; for that reason it is harder for them to form a stable relationship with one person. Often though, a three way stable relationship will work well for all of them. It really comes down to the individuals concerned.

ur right a lot of gay people i know have dismissed bisexuals, but i think you sound like you have sour grapes of your own with that attitude!
I think the thing is, if you sleep with men, you're gay, if you sleep with women you're straight. People are just getting over THAT and then when you throw in the bisexual grey area people start to wonder where they fit into this spectrum. but gay/straight is easier to categorise?

Years ago when I first started seeing my lover, he was leery about me because he had been burned by so many married bi's that he felt that we were all that way. To this day (twenty years later), he will still often say something like "typical of a damn bi" (usually with his tongue firmly in his cheek of course).
People are always going to relate the group in question to their personal experiences with people from that group or from being indoctrinated to have expectations of that group by the folks around them.

Just because I would not date one doesn't mean I......
wait.....does that mean I am discriminatory? Honestly does it? I really could not care less what someone else does in their bedroom (ok, okay I am a little interested in what Mario Lopez does but that is it). I would not date a bisexual male though because I just don't want to be with a man that is also with women.....that is must my personal preference. I would also not date an Asian because I am just not attracted to them, that doesn't mean I don't have bisexual or Asian friends.
WOW I keep talking and keep feeling more and more like a creep.....
