Re: "Bisexual men are really gay and bisexual women are really straight"

(Anonymous) 2013-12-04 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
I think it depends on how "society" knows said person is bi. If people know they were dating someone of the same sex in the past, yes, the assumption is "but, wait, gay?" But if sexual/relationship history is unknown, and a guy says "I'm bi", they do seem to be classified as gay, whereas a woman going "I'm bi" gets classified as straight, with optional "too chicken to come out all the way"/"doing it for the attention" vibes.

As a bi woman dating a bi man, this comes up on occasion, although our friends are all cool people, so it's not too common.

(We're also gender nonconforming in a lot of ways, which lead to the question "Wait, why is the gay dude making out with the lesbian?")
