Should the 'B' Be Removed from 'LGBTQ'?
I recently saw an online post stating that the B should be removed from LGBTQ. As a bisexual myself, this really made me think. The argument was that bisexual individuals have it "easier" than gay people—the reason being that it's easier to hide your sexuality as a bisexual person. Which is mostly true, a gay person may enter a heterosexual relationship in order to hide their true sexual preferences, thus entirely denying who they are—whilst a bisexual would be able to quite happily live in a relationship with someone of the opposite sex. I agreed with this until someone said to me, "But what if you're a bisexual who's in love with someone of the same gender. You'd still be unhappy with your heterosexual relationship, even if you are still attracted to members of the opposite sex." Again, this is true. A gay person would be unhappy hiding who they really are, but being bisexual doesn't automatically mean you're not unhappy about hiding your feelings.
