“I can’t understand why more people aren’t bisexual. It would double your chances for a date on Saturday night”– Woody Allen.
Bisexuals do not have twice the chance of a date on Saturday night. Believe me when I tell you that for many of us, we have twice the chance of being isolated and lonely when the weekend comes around. We have twice the chance of being written off and ignored by both queers and straights. When I tell someone that I’m bisexual I will generally not be believed. I have more than twice the chance of being told that it is just a phase. As a black bisexual woman I stand a strong chance of having unwanted sexual advances made on me; of others assuming I’m up for anything because I’m twice as exotic. As a bisexual woman with a disability, the odds are I won’t get what I need when I try to get some help. I’ll be unwelcome in support groups, invisible in resources that others can access. I’ll be the odd one out in the room full of assorted freaks. I’ll have to explain myself more than twice. I’ll have to dodge hate and threats and outright violence more than twice as much as you, Mister Allen. Personally, I can’t understand why people have to be so bigoted. I can’t understand why there’s so much hate.
