This picture was taken in 2023, but it still holds true today!
1️⃣ Bisexuality is the romantic, emotional, or sexual attraction to more than one gender. It doesn’t require equal attraction to all genders or simultaneous relationships.
2️⃣ Bisexuality is a legitimate sexual orientation, just like being gay, le***an, or straight. It exists on a spectrum and can vary greatly from person to person.
3️⃣ A common myth is that bisexuality is just a phase or confusion before someone “picks a side.” In reality, many people identify as bisexual for their entire lives.
4️⃣ Bisexuality is about attraction, not behavior. A bisexual person in a relationship with someone of a particular gender doesn’t become straight or gay — they’re still bisexual.
5️⃣ Another myth is that bisexual people are more likely to want threesomes. Bisexuality doesn’t imply a certain level of sexual activity or desire for multiple partners.
6️⃣ Bisexual people often face biphobia — negative attitudes or discrimination — both from straight and gay/le***an individuals. This can include invalidation, stereotyping, or erasure.
7️⃣ Due to stigma, bisexual people tend to experience higher rates of mental health issues such as anxiety and depression compared to both straight and gay individuals.
