I think bisexuals would benefit if they aimed to create more of their spaces and things. Otherwise it seems like bisexuals are doomed to float between gay and straight worlds not feeling like they fit in. Be the change you wanna see in the world. You guys could be the cool kids.

I have to agree with this. For example, me as a lesbian, feel pretty much left out on a daily basis. In a group of hetero female friends, there will be always a part of me (my homosexuality that they don't understand) who will feel left out somehow and this also applies if it were a group of bisexual women or a mix group of hetero and bi women. Bi women will understand straight women, I'll never will and thats why I would also feel left out somehow. This is the reason why it's so important for lesbians to have their own places, and I would argue the same for bisexual people because you're neither straight nor gay so it's also very easy to feel constantly "in between".

Yeah it's pretty tough to be the "in between" (I'm mixed-race so I would have a slightly different experience than bisexuals would but I think there might be some commonality there)

I think bisexuals also don't network with each other, there aren't bisexual bars or clubs or groups in the same way that there are gay bars and clubs so they do end up having to choose between straight and gay spaces a lot of the time, I imagine that must feel alienating as hell

Definitely! I agree with you 100%. That's why I agreed with yousaythosethings and said it would be beneficial for them to have their own places as well, just like it's beneficial for lesbians to have their own.

A lot of bi people are closeted or in hiding. And it appears many already blend within hetero society and are not publicly out so it's more difficult to find them to create such a thing. Though going on the dating apps, twitter and tumblr that would seem impossible as a lot of guys at in my area swing bi (at least when it comes towards anonymous sex).
