some straight guy i was friends with was obsessed with me. he only cared if i liked men and had a bf for some reason, and would ignore that i liked women. he would act like i was straight and that if i dated women, that just meant i was single and obviously interested in him.

    Bi erasure comes in all flavours. Gay guys around me also often don’t believe guys can be really bi, just gay in denial, or closeted gays living a straight life. The B in LGBT+ might as well be the bigotry in the community for how prevalent it is.

      Ironic because bi is the largest queer demographic but also the one that can blend in the easiest which hasn’t forced people to advocate for acceptance.

        And is also a spectrum. Most people would probably be bi, if social pressure didn’t exist. It’s honestly weird to think that anyone would be 100.00% gay or straight.

          If you think about it enough you realize that the labels aren’t perfect and sexuality isn’t split into neat labellable categories
