Sharing my sexual orientation with my partner is important to me personally, it has meaning, my experiences as a gay man are different to a bisexual man, I will not feel guilt about wanting that shared understanding from the man I am married to.

Yep! I've theorized that this is what's behind many gay (as well as straight, I suppose) people's aversion to dating bisexuals, rather than any kind of bigotry... the sense that, without a shared sexual orientation, you just don't have enough in common. So you can't connect at the necessary level. Which is something that bisexuals (well, anybody with a modicum of empathy and emotional maturity, really) should be able to understand. (I myself am primarily-- though not exclusively-- attracted to other bisexuals, and this may be one reason why: the feeling that they're fundamentally sympatico, at least as far as our basic sexuality goes.)

    I think the lack of bisexual spaces is reflective of:

    1. A lack of resources. We're broke. I've seen studies repeatedly that find that bisexuals (especially women) have the lowest lifetime earnings of the LGB.

    2. No historical demand. From what I can tell the desire to systematically separate exclusive homosexual attraction from periodic homosexual attraction has not existed prior to the last half-century.

    I'm sure someone will jump in to correct me, but that's definitely the impression I get.

      Ah, I'm sorry I misunderstood you. I was triggered! Lol

      We do have babies, and children are very expensive. You're right that we're hard to find for a variety of reasons, many due to social circumstances.

      I agree that bisexual spaces are increasingly necessary as the gay community adjusts to cultural changes. The LG and B are becoming more different from each other and bisexuals need a lot of support and education. We complain a lot that we have no one to go to and no knowledge of our identity and history. Only we can fix that.
