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

Luckily I've only come across a couple people that I know personally (rather than just hearing about it secondhand) that feel this way, or at least that will admit to feeling this way--my (straight) brother and a (lesbian) family friend.

With my brother, it's weird because he claims to understand/believe in pansexuality, but somehow bisexuality escapes him. Like, he gets not caring about the gender of the people you're interested in, but he doesn't understand specifically being attracted to masculinity and femininity (which is how he defines bisexuality) which is a strange distinction to make and almost seems like a semantic argument to me. And when I tried to use the blonde and brunette analogy he thought I was going in a different direction than I actually was and wouldn't let me finish. But this is also the same guy who once said that ALL women are bisexual if they get drunk enough and that that somehow proves that bisexuality doesn't actually exist (yeah, no one at the table with him when he said it understood, either) so who the fuck knows.

With the family friend, all she'll say about it is "you're either one or the other, there's no in between". She's a really devout Christian while also being a lesbian, though, despite the fact that her church clearly hates her (she's always talking about how they discriminate against her and her girlfriend and treat them horribly) yet it never occurs to her to leave the fucking church, so logic isn't exactly her strong suit.

That's a huge understatement lol. He's becoming more and more conservative the older he gets and there are so many things he just does not get (or refuses to even try to understand).

Yeah...she's nice and I generally like her but the way she thinks it's impossible for anyone to be anything other than gay or straight is definitely frustrating.

Yuck! Wow. I have extended family members like that, but I can't imagine if it were my brother. (My brother as it is is obnoxious and we don't get along well much of the time, and he can be carelessly sexist in really annoying ways, but he's politically pretty similar to me - socially pretty progressive)
