I mean, if specific space is meant to be for a very specific group of people, why invading it by others is supposed to be a good thing in your opinion?

So if a bisexual man is in a relationship with a gay man, he isn't welcome in "gay spaces" because he might have been attracted to a woman at some point in the past? Does he have to abandon all of his gay friends or hangouts if he ever enters into a different relationship with the opposite sex? Are we going to create some kind of score system for bisexuals, where they gain or lose points depending on their partners at the time, and they must maintain a specific score to be allowed into certain "spaces"?

I think it's more of an issue when bisexual people on gay or lesbian subs don't state that they're bi, and then say that they're also attracted to the opposite sex. They know they're bi, but other people don't, and it gives the impression that gay men/lesbians might be capable or willing to be with the opposite sex, which isn't the case.

But...but we KNOW that's not the case. If you're a gay man, you aren't into women, and if you're a lesbian you aren't into men. Anyone who claims otherwise is obviously bisexual no matter what they classify themselves as.
To me this just feels like jumping on an opportunity to shit on bisexuals. I kid you not, when I first read this post, I immediately assumed it was some woke moron brigading this sub trying to stir shit up between the groups opposed to the trans-craze....but then I saw the OP has been posting for quite some time, and others started agreeing, and I'm just sitting here thinking that this is the kind of bullshit I came to this community to avoid.

Cool, you know that and I know that, too. But people who come to r/askgaybros to educate themselves don't necessairly know that, hence why they ask a question. And your bisexual fellows first say that they are gay ("because I would never actually date a woman, so it's easier for me to use that label") and then in "would you date a trans person?" threads they go full "yes!!!!! anyone who says no is transphobic!"

Stop playing the victimized part now, because I didn't make this post to hate on bisexuals, but to point out how harmful their presence in our spaces is. I'm not accusing all bisexuals of it, because I'm fully aware that those who are good people don't invade our spaces, only black sheeps do.

We're talking about specific subreddit. Your boyfriend can easily visit it without you.

Fucking Christ, we really have learned nothing, have we?

You're inventing ridiculous scenarios to deflect from serious issues that make you complicit in homophobia. So if bisexuals want to be ridiculous, then yes...you need a point system. It's best if you help us make one then just leaving us alone to create one on our own.

How about not bringing homophobic partners into gay spaces or pretending you're persecuted for not being represented by gays and lesbians? Or not lecturing gays and lesbians on how it's ridiculous to want equal rights like gay marriage...do you remember that phenomenon? Almost like you dont have our best interests at heart and your default mode of being is pushing heterosexual supremacy.
