* drop the b lgbt *
Bary views of genr (men/women) and sexualy (gay/straight) ntribute to the sense that sexualy nnot fall “-between, ” spe nsistent pollg showg that bisexualy is one of the most mon sexual inti. The stereotype that bisexual men are simply "on their way" to beg gay remas prevalent, even LGBTQ muni. ” Terms like “LUG: lbian until graduatn, ” and “bar sexual” are ed to characterize and dimish the inti of bisexual women, while bisexual men are often perceived to be on a “steppg stone” to their “te” gay inty.
Ford stated that he was “qutned by the gay muny and fetishized [by women], ” and Storrs had siar experienc wh “people [suggtg] he was on his way to intifyg as gay. The rearchers terpreted the tenncy of participants to perceive a preference for one genr over the other as a form of bisexual erasure, as the participants were sentially ascribg a "leang" towards a gay or lbian inty, spe the open intifitn as bisexual both versns of Sam’s profile.
While the rults for bisexual men were le wh mon stereotyp of bisexual men “tly beg gay, ” the fdgs for bisexual women were somewhat surprisg, as when a preference for one genr or another was perceived, was the directn of a same-sex attractn, which ns unter to the mon stereotyp that ny women’s bisexualy favour of assumg a "te" attractn to men. Participants rated their agreement wh the followg statements: “Most bisexual women will end up a heterosexual marriage” and, “Most bisexual men jt haven’t e out as gay yet. Dpe a slight change the acceptance of bisexual women, bisexual men are still overwhelmgly thought of as “bi now, gay later —and this is echoed by bisexual dividuals themselv, like Andrew Ford and Jack Storrs, who nstantly feel the visibily of their inty.
