That phenomenon is only true for women. No straight man would ever identify as bi. This whole "appropriating lesbianism" thing is exclusive to bisexual women since lesbians barely experience actual, real homophobia and their sexuality is a fun fetish and costume to put on.

It absolutely is not a fun fetish to put on for straight men. The barrier for bisexual men is so high that anyone who says it is absolutely bi, 100%. It's just that they want their "straight side represented" and end up wanting to push their "straight side" in gay spaces, which leads to problems since gay spaces are very small and bisexuals have the rest of earth for their "straight side". Most of their persecution complex is wanting to go into non homophobic spaces but bring their heterosexuality with them and that usually involves some homophobic spouse or stranger or "friend" where gays just want to be free to be comfortable not being around heterosexuals. It's similar to an all woman space but women constantly bringing men in there.

Schomee, lesbians are executed along with gay men in many countries.

These yaoi gals are also using "gay" as a "fun fetish and costume to put on", doesn't mean they don't experience actual, real homophobia, though it is different because they're different sexes.

The difference is, while gay men are usually punished in public, lesbians are punished in private.
