Bisexuals are not heterosexual and do not identify as heterosexual. MYTH Bisexuals are not gay. Nongays lump them all together. Bisexuals have lost their jobs and suffer the same legal discrimination as other gays. MYTH Bisexual women will dump you for a man.
True bisexuals acknowledge both their same-sex and opposite sex attraction.
Both bisexuals and gays are capable of going back into the closet. People who are unable to make commitments may use a person of either gender to leave a relationship. It is important to remember that bisexual, gay, lesbian, and heterosexual are labels created by a homophobic, biphobic, heterosexist society to separate and alienate us from each other. We sometimes need to use these labels for political reasons and to increase our visibility. Our sexual esteem is facilitated by acknowledging and accepting the differences and seeing the beauty in our diversity.
