Biphobia and hypocrisy of gays and lesbians

[TaraJo]

Certain people within the LGBT are very hostile to bisexuality.

I've also seen my fair share of (mostly) girls who claim to be bi, date guys exclusively and cling to their bisexual claims to making out with other girls once in a while, usually to get attention or excite men. I've even seen guys who also date only girls, but cling to some other-than-straight identity so they can fit into environments that can be hostile to straight, cis, white men. I kinda feel like, when people do that, when they claim identities for reasons that are less than genuine, it cheapens what the rest of us go through.

So because some people who are bisexual are sometimes less than 3 on the Kinsey scale what they have to go through is less important?

You're kinda right. I mean, I don't want to be outright hostile towards them. But, at the same time, it also leads to girls being hesitant to date other girls who identify as bisexual, out of fear that they're only going to be with a woman until a semi-interesting man comes along.
