So this is something that comes up a LOT when it comes to people who bat for both teams. There seems to be this weird phenomenon in the gay community about bisexuals who are in hetero relationships. Some gay men and lesbians take the stance of "well, they can choose to be straight or hide in hetero relationships, so they don't count as queer".
Obviously, the switch hitters don't like that. Especially when people like Cynthia Nixon (ew) back up that exact sentiment by saying that bisexuals do indeed choose to be gay or not. Things like that stir up a lot of hate, and with that hate comes dating reluctance and alienation. Apparently, there are a lot of lesbians who flat out refuse to date bi women because they have that notion that said women are "gross" or that the lesbian relationship that comes from a mixed orientation couple is probably just some "phase" or "a meaningless trip into alternative lifestyles". Kinda like this:
The crazy thing about that notion....it comes up in some sort of twisted funhouse mirror image in straight relationships too! Kinda like....this!
"Never being without a date on a Saturday night" just doesn't seem worth it, 99.9% of the time.
