As per a study, it claims that 15 percent of the people do not take bisexuality in a positive way. And tend to hurt bisexuals and make them feel shame, secluded which depress them.
see the link Bisexuality Not A Real Sexual Orientation

This doesn't surprise me in the slightest.

I've definitely been on the receiving end of some strange attitudes - it's almost as if some people consider bisexuality a 'non' sexuality - like it's just some sort of personality or lifestyle.

I really hope this along with other attitudes towards sexuality change and soon. It's not like we haven't waited long enough.

I've been told numerous times I am bisexual for the attention.
Hmm then what do they call it when I kiss girls with no one watching?
I'm not open with my sexuality because I've been made to feel bad.

I just do not understand why some people can't get it through their heads. bisexual is not the same as heterosexual or homosexual. Introduce a hot guy to a lesbian girl and she won't be interested. Introduce him to a bisexual girl and she will be. Easy-peasy.

The proof is as plain as the noses on our faces. (Of course I completely oversimplified my example, but it really is obvious that bisexuality is a real sexual orientation.)

They call it awesome.

Okay, I'm done. I'll crawl back under my rock now.
Thanks for this!

Bisexuality is a gender orientation. The other people are ignorant just like someone here said. I would not hang out with these unsupportive people.

Ignorance is not bliss!

I remember my daughter, in a long term, now committed gay relationship calling me late one night saying "Mom, .....(story in which she went home with a guy she knew well)...I thought I was Just Gay, "What if I am Bi?" and I thought, and said well, "It gives you so much choice.".....Of course it is a sexual identity. Which, frankly, being hopelessly heterosexual, I envy in many ways .... I wonder, at times, if it isn't something many of us are "capable" of but fear....more than being gay...or even transgender...
Perhaps the fear causes rejection...abhorrence, intolerance...
I remember wondering why this bothered her so, when all else was okay.

I was in my late teens/early twenties when I found out some people thought bisexuality wasn't real, and I was baffled. I don't doubt that a few people, mainly girls I should think, have used it for attention, but to deny the legitimacy of the entire orientation is just... dumb.
