I've read posts/comments etc about biphobia in the gay community - so I guess it's a thing everywhere. Like memes explain, people probably feel threatened that a bi person would leave them for some other person.. or twice as threatened assuming they may be attracted to twice as many people ?? etc.

As for determining whether someone is chill or an actual threat, that's where a huge part of the value of using chat/hookup apps like Grindr comes in. You can chat with like minded guys and then decide whether to meet in person or not vs. meet some random stranger in a coffee shop by chance and wonder whether or not there's any attraction.

The "gay scene" has always been a bit too "extroverted" for me. Also gay people can be just as awful and closeminded as straight people, unfortunately. You'd figure having grown up different and struggling for acceptence/understanding would make you more empathetic, but it doesn't always work out that way.

Bisexuals face a unique challenge, we are effectively "invisible". I'm in an opposite gender relationship, from the outside I appear "straight" but I'm not. If I were to, for some reason, suddenly exit this relationship and enter one with a male I'd be seen as "coming out" and suddenly "gay" but really nothing about the status of my sexual orientation changed. I don't know what the solution is or if there even is a solution to that dilemma, I just wish labels would go away.
