It's been 5 years since I've accepted my sexuality, and 24 years of still not being able to be open and honest about what I want :(
Everyone who is comfortable with who they are should take the day to appreciate themselves and not let anyone fuck up their happiness with their fake morals.

Im not Bi, but I'm an ally :V

Im pan, but thats close enough.

Bisexual person here

My time in the gay community has taught me to keep my bisexuality invisible to gay people. Gay people tend to react to bisexuality with some hostility or maybe just subtle judgment at best. It has never once been received in a positive way from gay people so I just let them assume that I'm gay. It is a bit different with straight people. When I tell straight people I'm bisexual they only hear "I'm gay" and will only ever refer to me as gay and then will be shocked when I express anything heterosexual with "wait, I thought you were gay."

So basically, the vast majority of my experience with sharing my sexual orientation with people is that they tend to invalidate it.

As a gay guy I never got the hate for bi people. Even though you don't know me I wanna say you're awesome and just to be you Same to all the other bi folks here as well

I hear this so often and Im sorry that you have to deal with it

Oh well. I certainly don't like it, but as far as negative experiences based on ones sexual orientation, race, or religious affiliation goes it really isn't that bad. I just can't ever share that I'm bisexual and receive the response that I would like which is just basic acceptance and validation. People tend to assume I'm straight the vast majority of the time so I'm basically just treated as a straight person.

I need to tell any prospective dating partner pretty early on that I'm bisexual, because I've learned from the past that it is pretty disappointing to find out they'll have a bad reaction to it after the fourth date as opposed to the first.

I've been with my girlfriend almost two years now so I may as well be hetero for all intents and purposes. I mean, the only bisexual thing I do is jerk off to gay porn every now and then.

I assume it is because either gay people assume bi people are just gay people in denial or they've personally felt rejected by a bisexual person for a person of the opposite gender. Well those things combined with some ignorance and all that.

I very much appreciate your kind words.

Yeah there is a weird bias against bisexual people

A lot of gay people act offended by them as if they are being greedy or not "pure" gay

and a lot of straight people act like they are just cowards in the closet

Dont get it myself

some people like pineapples on pizza
some like anchovies on pizza
some like anchovies and/or pineapples on pizza
some dont like pizza

this is no different

As a straight guy I second his notion

Long as they are over 18 and sane, fuck whomever you like, who cares? You do you.

at least we get to find out real fast when a person is a piece of shit
straight white people be like together for 10 years and then shocked to find out their partner is a racist because it never came up

Yeah that is definitely true. I especially dodged a bullet when this one girl has a real bad reaction to me telling her I was bi. She suddenly started inquiring about my sexual history and asking when the last time was that I got an STD test. I asked her why she wasn't asking for this information when she thought I was straight and she responded that I am at way higher risk of HIV and other STDs and I should inform people I'm bi before doing anything sexual with them.

Like there were definitely completely unrelated signs that this girl was a terrible person, but this really sealed the deal here. Honestly, I feel you should be able to sense a person is a garbage human being without giving them a test (me revealing my bisexuality shouldn't be a test, but reality says that it is), but I will admit that I've certainly made some errors in judgment on that front.

There is just no denying a garbage human being when they have an off putting reaction to revealing yourself as bisexual.

This mindset is depressing to me. Your sexuality isnt lessened because of monogamy.

I mean, the only person who really matters to me in a sexual context right now is my girlfriend. I mean, I still do jerk off to porn of both the straight and non straight varieties, but that is as far as it goes.

The reality is that bringing up my sexual orientation has rarely if ever worked to my benefit. Now that I'm in a long term monogamous relationship there really is no reason to bring up my sexual orientation.

I'm still very much bisexual, but who really needs to know that? Like I've always hated the idea of being defined by my sexuality anyways. I'd much rather be known for any other aspect of my personality.

---

The "you're just gay but pretending to not be" or "going through a college girl phase" are definitely some of the more annoying aspects of being bi. I've thankfully never really experienced much homophobia myself, but in the past have met some truly disgusting people in the gay community who ostracised me and told me I was "part of the reason gay people can't be taken seriously" but they were a vile person in general.

Sadly though, it's not a rare line of thinking but minorities perpetuating hatred and bigotry of their own happens in all minorities and is fucking baffling for all of them.

Nothing wrong with being bi! You just have more options open to you ;)

Although I will admit as a gay guy, when I was first looking to get into a relationship (using online dating) I avoided the bi guys. And there was only one reason for it. If the bi guy was decide he ever wanted a family...

Then you could adopt or search for a surrogate. I get that there are more barriers to a gay couple having kids than a hetero couple, but please don't assume a bisexual person wouldn't be willing to fight through those barriers with the right person.

I understand that, and youre definitely so much more than your sexuality, but do you think youd still feel the need to write off part of who you are if your sexuality hasnt been consistently used against you?

And sorry I dont mean this as an attack, it just depresses me a bit.

Nah I get what you're saying and I agree with it 100%

I don't really like having to downplay my sexual orientation though it often is what I do naturally. There is a difference between "I need to downplay it in this scenario" and "I don't really feel I need to bring up my sexual orientation."

I'm just saying that for me personally it doesn't matter as much, but it still does suck when it does. I'd imagine it matters a lot more to other people and that is terrible that people are made to feel that way.

My desire to reveal or not reveal my sexual orientation should exist without any need to consider "well this is how it typically goes," but yeah the reality is rather sad.

I did the deed to MFF threesome fantasies. I consider that my active involvement for the day. :v

Exactly. I hope one day well get there as a society. Till then, Im glad youre still happy

Appreciate it. The inverse of this tends to be kind of true in the gay community though. Like the people I tended to run into tended to desire people who would play up their gayness. Like the super typical yaaassss quuuuueeeeeennnn stuff. Like I actually needed to downplay my knowledge of pro sports and stuff. It was weird.

Like it is very much preferable to having to hide my orientation, but feeling a need to play it up to fit in wasn't really great either.
