MYTH: Bisexuality isn’t real: people are either just straight and experimenting, or actually just gay or lesbian.
Whew! Talk about erasure!
This myth about bisexuality may sound archaic, but it’s a stigma that still persists in public discourse today. Did you know that only 12% of bisexual men have come out,
