There are a lot of different reasons - one of which is that a lot of people don't believe in bisexuals; they're straight (or gay), they have no desire whatsoever for the same sex (or opposite sex), and they can imagine the complete reversal of that just fine, but someone who likes both? That breaks their brain, so they insist that anyone who says they do is confused/a traitor to the cause. I've found this is especially true for people who are devoted to the "sexuality is genetic" theory - they see it as a single gene like a switch, flipped to "straight" or "gay" at birth, and the existence of someone who has some measure of choice in the gender of their sexual/romantic partner threatens the theory somehow. (That it might be a complex of genes that has a variety of in-between states somehow never occurs to them. We won't bring up the issue of identical twins with different sexual identities.)

Other people have never heard of the Kinsey scale; they assume that there are three set states for that switch - perfectly straight, perfectly gay, and 50/50 bisexual - and ignore that there are people who have gay relationships all their life except for one deeply meaningful, powerful straight relationship, and all kinds of other combinations. Even the Kinsey scale is reductionist, but it's better than the two-point or three-point scales.

And there are a few people who are strictly monogamous, and believe that to be bisexual you have to have a relationship with one person of each gender at the same time.

I like to call those ones "People who can't find their dictionaries."
