I'm bisexual in terms of having an attraction to both sexes, but I'd only date a man. But I only say I'm gay for the same reason. I don't want to deal with that stigma

Differences in physical and romantic are one thing.
"I won't consider dating you because you find the other sex appealing" is a mindset that is only founded on terrible ideas. Part of me is glad I'm not romantically inclined at all - too much bullshit.

Sadly it goes both ways. I had a gay friend tell me that he wouldnt date a bisexual person because they can't pick a side, and is paranoid they'd leave him for a girl since it's the "easy" option

And I have heterosexual female family members that would never date bisexual men, since they feel they're secretly gay. My sister said "If I have to worry about him around women, I'll go crazy having to worry about both men & women around him"

But admittedly bisexuality in the Black community is incredibly divisive. Due to the "down low" stigma.
