When you are gay, you are a part of the gang. When you are straight, you are an outsider. But, where do bisexuals stand?
Biphobia is the fear and dislike of bisexuals. We live in a generation which has widely accepted the L,G, and T of the spectrum, but what about the 'B'? Bisexuals are still called confused or in the process of fully accepting that they are gay or highly promiscuous. Many such misconceptions, as shown in the picture above, run through the minds of majority of the population even today when they hear "bisexual". This discrimination is not just seen in the Cis-Het populace but is widespread in the LGBTQIA+ community. Many homosexuals regard them as an insult to the community because they are one step closer to being heterosexual and that they can blend in with the Cis-Het population effectively. Even though, the LGBTQIA+ community is all about breaking stereotypes and inclusion of every person who has ever felt left out. So, why are bisexuals so hated on, when we strive for the freedom to love whoever we want to and make love with whoever we wish to?
