    Mainstream heterosexual society has been understanding how to accept, or at the very least gets use to the visibility of gay and lesbian people over the last several years. With more states legalizing gay marriage like Oregon and Pennsylvania and the overturning of DOMA, the Defense of Marriage Act, which defines marriage as a union between one man and one woman, gay and lesbians have already been making strides toward equal rights. Movies and Television have featured more gay and lesbian characters and more and much more celebrities have come from the closet just like the Big Bang Theory’s Jim Parsons and celeb Ellen Page. But with all of this exposure bisexual folks have been left out.

    There’s been bi-phobia not merely in the heterosexual community, but also in the gay and lesbian community. バイセクシャル 診断 ‘s probably because the lgbt community, similar to the heterosexual community, doesn’t know much about, or understand bisexuals. There are plenty of myths about bisexuals that need to be clarified so they are more understood.

    Myth #1 Bisexuals are confused about their sexuality.

    Bisexuals aren’t confused about their sexuality. They just happen to be attracted to men and women. Many young people are confused about their sexuality in general mostly because of the societal pressures to be heterosexual. As young people figure out who they’re they’ll know instinctively who they are attracted to.

    Myth #2 To be bisexual you have to love both genders equally.

    While バイセクシャル 診断 are drawn to men and women, they are not necessarily attracted to both genders equally. It’s almost such as a percentage, with 50%/50% being a person attracted to both men and women equally.

    Myth #3 Being bisexual means having a male and female lover as well.

    While bisexual people may be with both women and men over their dating career most bisexuals don’t feel like they need to be with both genders as well to feel fulfilled.

    Myth #4 Bisexual folks are promiscuous.

    Bisexuals are just as apt to be promiscuous as hetero- or homosexual people. Their sexual orientation has nothing to do with their sexual life style. Bisexuals are just as likely to be monogamous as other people also.

    Myth #5 Bisexuals are in “transition.” On the way to being gay.

    Most people who are bisexual are occur, and more comfortable with their sexual orientation. There have been a small number of gay and lesbian people who have come out as bisexual because the stigma to be homosexual. This offends bisexuals since it really helps to maintain this myth.

    Myth #6 Bisexual Folks have more privilege than gay and lesbian people.

    This myth is both true and untrue with respect to the circumstance. When a bisexual person has been, and especially married to, an individual of a different sex they will receive the benefits of heterosexual privilege, but when a bisexual person is with a person of exactly the same sex they will not.
