Bisexuals are traitors?!

submitted by PeakingPeachEater from (self.Bisexuals)

This is how some people be towards us sometimes: Bisexuals in a heterosexual relationship- "Is this a traitor?"

On that note...I find the stereotype really lame about bisexual people leaving who they're with to go with the opposite sex of their ex-partner.

Then others think it's fine to keep saying that because "you're bisexual though"...okay?

Lol I only know one bisexual who's left her partner for someone of the opposite sex of her partner, and she left her ex-boyfriend for another girl. I don't think it's actually any more common than straight or gay people leaving their partner for someone of the same sex as their last partner, it just stands out more in people's minds cause of the way people talk about it

I see in some LGB communities that the ONLY reason they won't date bisexuals is that the bisexual person will leave them for the opposite sex or that they're untrustworthy/cheaters or that bis have "residue"/"cooties" from the previous partner of opposite sex.

Even though, like you said, it's not any different than a straight or gay person leaving their partner...

Ultimately, I don't care if they date or don't date bisexuals. Just wish they wouldn't stereotype and keep those opinions to their self or amongst themselves and not say it within earshot of bi people and expect us to agree with these dumb stereotypes.

They could just leave it at "I don't date bisexuals because I can't relate to their life experiences" and that's that...

Then when straight people they're like "wait, you're dating the opposite sex now? So...you're straight and not gay anymore?"

lol

Oh yeah totally. I don't care if they want to/don't want to date us either, I just wish people would stop perpetuating stereotypes.

Then when straight people they're like "wait, you're dating the opposite sex now? So…you're straight and not gay anymore?"

Hahaha
