50 years after Stonewall we are now fighting bisexual people as well as heterosexuals for our right to same-sex attraction

The funny thing is that you can always tell which lg people are actually bisexual because they will be the loudest about being lg

Whenever I hear girls goint on about "oh my goddddd im so gay!! Im so gay" they are always bisexual and have only been in relationships with men.

My understanding is that they are extra loud about "being gay" to make up for the fact that they are mostly opposite sex attracted lol

So fucking true. My bisexual ex says she's "gayer" than I am yet has three kids, and her longest relationship was with a man (10 years) after she had been out and dating women during her 20s (she had a girlfriend for about 5 years and cheated on her with other women). She's 42 and refuses to call herself bisexual. Utterly ridiculous.

Oh, I've never been with a man. Full-blown lesbian.

Seriously, back when I was doing self-harm by being on /r/bisexuals, there would always be these "I AM SSSSOOO GAY!" people who would post rainbow flags and shit. And there would be a small minority of us going... "ahem ahem... do you know that you are in the bisexual sub for bisexual people?" and they would go "OMG HOW DAAAARE YOUUUU I AM GAY RRRREEEEEEE!!!" and we would just be like....... "okay then." They wanted that "GAY" label so badly. Like go fuck off to the gay sub and be gay then! WHy are you here???

I think bisexual people should start policing bi spaces more and calling out these biphobic bi-folks, like if you don't "identify" as a bisexual...why are you invading bi spaces, if you're gay go be in a gay space but don't expect to talk about your opposite sex attraction in those gay spaces (and maybe think about why you want to claim to be gay so badly when your experience aligns more closely with bisexuality...)

Believe me, we tried and we failed. It's so soul crushing to get shrieked at by a 15 year old little shit who is outraged that I am gatekeeping her being allowed to call herself gay. I'm so sick of babysitting other people's children on the internet. I'm not even a mod there and it was only a matter of time before they would have banned me for pissing off and invalidating the toddlers. All they wanted to do was jerk off about The Legend of Korra's haircut and talk about lemon bars and how "gay" they were, with a passive-aggressive jab at us nay-sayers with "gay is an umbrella term so fuck off haters!" /r/bisexual is a lost cause. (I know you don't mean just that sub, that's just the main bi internet space I have prolonged experience with before jumping ship 2 years ago.)

That is so true. I have a bisexual friend who constantly talks about being gay as fuck, gushes over attractive women, but has only had one short relationship with a woman and has otherwise been and continues to be with men. Like, it's fine if you're mostly attracted to men, but don't overcompensate on the other front.

Yes or they'll get angry that a "biphobic" lesbian won't date them, when they're "happily married" to a male.
