“Bisexuals cop biphobia from all edges, from our very own community and from straights.»
Elizabeth Sutherland writes for SBS about her battles with occupying both right and queer areas and feeling ostracized by both. “There is really a privilege in passing as right, but there is however an expense, too. The ability that you’re just being addressed well, or equally, because section of on your own is hidden is really a burden that is difficult carry… Bisexuals have emerged as predatory, promiscuous, untrustworthy, adulterous and confused. We’re vilified as fence sitters, or simply plain greedy. Within my type of work I’m in touch with teenagers from day to night. It is easier to reassure peers and parents that I’m respectable whenever I’m viewed as a lesbian in a relationship that is steady. But if we attempt to explain myself as bisexual fine, to begin with, it seems more sexual .”
Rebecca Dominguez, president of Bisexual Alliance Victoria, describes that “bisexuals cop biphobia from all edges, from our very own community and from straights. the reason why it is more straightforward to recognize as lesbian than bisexual is the fact that lesbians aren’t getting any homophobia from in the LGBTI communities.”
