Dislike of or prejudice against persons perceived to be bisexual. People who identify as bisexual may experience biphobia from both heterosexual people and the LGBTQ community. The heterosexual majority often assumes that people are either “straight” or “gay,” forgetting that there are a wide range of identities and sexualities outside of this perceived binary. As a result, people who are bisexual are often accused of being confused or simply “going through a phase,” which is not true for most people. Another incorrect stereotype for bisexual people claims that bisexual people have a difficult time remaining monogamous, and that bisexual people are especially promiscuous. People who identify as bisexual are no more likely to engage in promiscuous behavior or cheat on their partner than anyone else. Finally, bisexual people sometimes experience biphobia from the LGBTQ community itself, as they are often criticized for still engaging in heteronormative attraction. However, bisexual people are just as valid in their sexuality as other parts of the LGBTQ community and heterosexual people.
