    Mainstream heterosexual society has been understanding how to accept, or at the very least is getting use to the visibility of lgbt people during 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 something woman, gay and lesbians have been making strides toward equal rights. バイセクシャル 診断 and Television have featured more lgbt characters and more and more celebrities have come out of the closet like The Big Bang Theory’s Jim Parsons and movie star Ellen Page. But with all this exposure bisexual people have been left out.

    There has been bi-phobia not only in the heterosexual community, but additionally in the lgbt community. That’s probably because the lgbt community, similar to the heterosexual community, doesn’t know much about, or understand bisexuals. There are various myths about bisexuals that need to be clarified so that they are more understood.

    Myth #1 Bisexuals are confused about their sexuality.

    Bisexuals are not confused about their sexuality. バイセクシャル 診断 are actually attracted to men and women. Many teenagers are confused about their sexuality in general mostly as a result of societal pressures to be heterosexual. As young people figure out who they’re they will know instinctively who they’re attracted to.

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

    While bisexuals are attracted to both men and women, they are not necessarily drawn to both genders equally. It’s almost such as a percentage, with 50%/50% being a person attracted to men and women equally.

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

    While bisexual people could be with both women and men over their dating career most bisexuals don’t feel like they have to be with both genders at the same time to feel fulfilled.

    Myth #4 Bisexual people are promiscuous.

    Bisexuals are just as apt to be promiscuous as hetero- or homosexual people. Their sexual orientation has nothing in connection 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 that are bisexual are occur, and more comfortable with their sexual orientation. There have been a small amount of gay and lesbian those who have turn out as bisexual because the stigma of being 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 based on the circumstance. When a bisexual person has been, and especially married to, a person of another sex they will receive the benefits of heterosexual privilege, but when a bisexual person has been a person of the same sex they will not.
