Bi+ men need to be represented and loved. My partner is bi and just listening to ways women have reacted to him shows how biphobia is a huge issue specifically in its own right. Many “LGBT+ friendly” ppl are Biphobic. They can only accept sexuality when it’s gay or het.

I think biphobia needs to be discussed in its own right rather than lumped in with homophobia. Many people who manage to “accept” gay relationships have extremely entrenched biphobia.

Biphobia towards men seems largely connected with toxic masculinity and internalised misogyny from Biphobic people of all genders. For example, bi men are usually told they are gay or just said to be denying they are gay if they date or sleep with men

It is as if they can’t simply understand the notion that a man usually doesn’t even fit certain stereotypes, perpetuated by media representations of gay men, and that men can legitimately date both men and women and be bi+ or pan.

There’s also a common misconception that a bi man is somehow less masculine, or less of a man, or somehow won’t be “man enough” to love a woman. This is repulsive and untrue. Men can love men without being stripped of their masculinity.

I’ve also had many bi men come to me to talk about how they’ve had women sleep with them consensually and then find out the man was bi, act repulsed, and immediately rush to thinking that they will have HIV. This disgust, this fear, of bi men...is the only thing that’s disgusting

And finally...

BI MEN EXIST

Whether you like it, or not. And if you don’t - you are the problem. Not them. Fix yourself.

“What’s it like dating a bi man? “
Erm it’s like dating any other man
(Only 1 little difference, they usually have less rigid internalised toxic masculinity, which great for everyone, and also, you can both talk about which hot men and women on tv you like together)
The end :)
