6 Myths About Bisexuals Mainstream heterosexual society has been understanding how to accept, or at 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 something woman, gay and lesbians have already been making strides toward equal rights. Movies and Television have featured more lgbt characters and more and much more celebrities have come out from the closet just 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 also in the lgbt community. That is probably because the gay and lesbian community, just like the heterosexual community, doesn't know much about, or understand bisexuals. There are various myths about bisexuals that require 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 because of the societal pressures to be heterosexual. As teenagers figure out who they're they'll know instinctively who they're attracted to. Myth #2 To be bisexual you 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 just like 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 at the same time. While bisexual people may be with both women and men over their dating career most bisexuals don't feel just like they need to be with both genders simultaneously to feel fulfilled. Myth #4 Bisexual people are promiscuous. Bisexuals are simply as likely to be promiscuous as hetero- or homosexual people. Their sexual orientation has nothing to do with their sexual life-style. Bisexuals are just as apt to be monogamous as anyone else also. Myth #5 Bisexuals come in "transition." On the path to being gay. Most people who are bisexual are set in, and comfortable with their sexual orientation. There were a small amount of gay and lesbian those who have turn out as bisexual as the stigma of being homosexual. This offends bisexuals because it 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. Whenever a bisexual person has been, and especially married to, an individual of another sex they will receive the great things about heterosexual privilege, but when a bisexual person is with a person of exactly the same sex they will not.
