Why is Bisexual and any other Sexualities that isn't Gay or Straight almost non-existent? (2 Viewers)

[spicy_illusion]

It's like if you are in a same-sex relationship or if you are in a heterosexual relationship that people think that is strictly what you are? Then they get confused if you are then in a relationship with the opposite gender to what you were in a relationship before.
Another example is in Kpop or in the Korean Entertainment industry. Like a female idol may say she's attracted to another female idol or something and then people automatically brand her as a lesbian and vice versa and I myself have done that exact same thing even though I am Bisexual myself.
Obviously I'm not saying there is anything wrong with being gay or straight but it's like we have this idea that when someone is attracted to the same sex or opposite sex, they automatically 100% fully swing that way when that may not actually be the case.

I think we are all guilty of it and if you think about it, most of us are not actually fully straight or fully gay, that's why it's called 'sexual preference' as we prefer that sex.

We also have other Sexualities as well, so there are many people who are in those categories also.
There is also the fact that people can be more than one sexuality or even no sexuality at all.

I may not look it but I am also into men sexually. I'm more into women but I'm still attracted to men.

defently agree with you.
I always hated labels and espieccially when it comes to sexual preference. And let's not forget all the stereotypes of bisexuals.

Society makes it so. But progress is evident. 10 years ago I couldn't imagine walking with my boyfriend holding hands, yet here we are. Every generation has its own issues. Binary view of sexuality is this generation's issue, I guess.

Well I am bi and I have no god damn idea what you mean with that.

Yes definitely! Like we get the 'You're so greedy for liking both sexes' and many other examples.

Some people really can’t deal with things that are foreign to them

Yes people think that just because you are attracted to both sexes that you will cheat on them with either the opposite sex if you are with the same sex or the same sex if you are with the opposite sex. Why would someone think this when they could just as much cheat on someone with their own sexual preference.
Or 'you don't know what you want' or 'it's in fashion'.

true. Some people really don’t realise these things.
The it‘s in fashion stereotype always get to me. It isn’t a trend and it shouldn’t be viewed as weird to be into all genders

I mean, nobody is really restricting straight or gay people to be attracted to other gender other than themselves.

Yes, I know what you mean. It's the society though and how people are brought up with this idea that you can only like one sex. The opposite sex if they are homophobic.

yeah true. It really depends on how someone was brought up.

Yes this is true. I think it's because we're all indoctrinated at a young age to say this is the norm, yet if we can break out of that thinking, then we are free to think for ourselves.

Yes. I've seen so many types of indoctrination and bad parenting, including "when you get a girlfriend", "you'll see when you get married", "when you have children". No.

Evangelical numbers are sky rocketing here :/

By 2020 they'll surpass catholics in numbers.

Catholics here are pretty chill, evangelicals are more extreme.

I heard someone talk about this old lady... "She was happily married to her husband, but after their divorce, she turned into a lesbian" umm, wut? That's called bisexuality... Unless she was never happily married to begin with (forced by parents or for status)
