In real life these people just avoid and don't speak to you, but online I keep having run ins with gays and lesbians who hold a really brittle and negative attitude toward bisexuals and will lash out at random times when they think you've strayed from your place.

Over and over again, it seem to be people who are heavily invested in marriage. More than is normal.

I agree there are some disturbed individuals who just flat-out don't like us bisexuals, and project their insecurities on us. I still can't see the connection to marriage though, unless maybe you're thinking that they harbor a resentment toward us due to our bisexuality technically allowing us another option (hetero marriage)? That has always been an issue that gay people have with us & a reason they don't trust us.

I mean the people who carry around the "snotty princess" image of bisexual women in their heads (which can get very detailed!) and will fly off the handle posting bile if they think you've spoken out of place. It's a pattern at this point, and I've seen it happen to others too much to think it's just me. It's like you're just a punching bag and they're fighting with a monster in their heads.

Those people seem to also be more invested in getting married, the superficial trappings of marriage, perfecting their own marriages, etc. Not everyone is. These people are.

If I had to play psychologist, I would guess both are manifesting insecurity. It just seems like such a specific repeated situation I feel like they go hand in hand.

I saw the comments of that one person who kept bothering you. They sound like a psycho lol. Some people have mental issues, don't let it get to you because you were polite and reasonable. <3

Thank you, I felt a little gaslighted. I was trying to be polite and keep things calm. I think I have a lot to learn about handling those situations when they come up.
