Why are there so many misconceptions about gay people? -rant-

Well, I'm not hiding the fact I have my girlfriend anymore. I don't go around and announce it but it can be obvious to others sometimes, and they ask me mostly about it.

It's just...to non-LGBT people who aren't in my friend group have so many weird ideas about it.

"So, do you check out everybody you see cause you like both genders?"

I identify as bi to most people.
No, I have a type. I like certain people. I am not poly, bi doesn't mean being polyamorous, though both are perfectly fine.

"Are you a stalker?"
What?? I'm bi but I'm not a creep. I like my girlfriend very much and I do not stalk people.

"So do you cheat on her with a guy because you're busexual?"
Uh...no? I don't cheat on people. I think it's terrible. Do you cheat on your girlfriend with a girl? Cause, you're like, straight?

"Are you the cheater type because you're bi?"

I don't cheat, no. Sexuality doesn't correlate with cheating.

"Do you like every girl you see cause you're gay?"
Do you like every boy you see cause you're straight?

"You've been with her *le gasp* six whole months? You never wanted to cheat? But I thought you liked boys and girls."

I am very much committed to her, yeah. I never wanted to cheat, I'm a normal person with a normal relationship and I don't like cheating.

"I'm a little scared now. Do you beat people up and have sex a lot?"

What the actual fuck!? I'm thirteen and not ready for sex, though there's nothing wrong with having sex.
So I'm bi, that means I bully people? I've been nothing but nice to you!!!



-end of rant-

I hate when gay/bi, pan...etc. people are treated differently and like they're abnormal. We are normal people with normal relationships and lives.
