View Full Version : Biphobia on Gay Forums

I wish there were more sites like this one. Seriously. Because there is not, I go to some gay message boards. Most are okay and the bisexual themed topics are not that bad, but theres one gay site that is just awful!
I'm so sick of biphobia! I go to another message board/forum that is 99% gay.Even though there are alot of gays there who hate me, alot who use to hate bisexuals have come around. I think they know I am a fighter for gay rights and consider the gay community my family just as much as they do. Alot have put aside differences and I have made some surprising friends.
What pisses me off is the moderators. I have had posts edited,deleted, and so on. When I have asked for reasons, I get nothing. I have sent Pm's and asked on the boards and get no reason as to why. I have been civil and kind and I don't even swear. I think when ever I make a sensible case for bisexuals that gets people to think, they edit them or remove them. I know that sounds crazy,but what else am I to think?
So, I filed a complaint with the mods. I took it up with the owners of the website. They dragged on and on about proof. I posted links and actual posts and gave several examples. Several days went by and so on. I then composed a PM asking the status. I was prepared to let them know I was not backing down. I informed them I recieved several PM's from others who have agreed with me and said they refuse to post because they are aware that the mods look the other way if there is anything negative posted about bisexuals. So, I did something that got some attention.
Over the summer I joined a porn site who advertises on this site. Last week I canceled my services and gave them the reason why I canceled. I told them the name of the site,moderator, and I can't support a site who advertises on a site that advocates discrimination against sexual orientation. I got a concerend reply back and a special offer to renew. I also told them I was encouraging others to do the same. I got a PM back today from the mods telling me they WERE gonna look into my claim(after about 2 weeks of course,thats how serious they took it) but now that I'm threatning and hurting them, they are dismissing it. I don't think they had any intentions on investigating my claim.Translation: Word got back to them and they are embarassed by one of their advertisers and they were called out by name. An unhappy member on a gay website who takes the time to cancel and compose a letter as to the reasons does hold up some.
Whats sad is, other mods on some other sites who I've shown the threads to all say they are drunk with power and very unproffesional.They feel a moderator who doesn't have to step in is a good moderator and one doing their job. On this site its like if the mods are not starting trouble, they feel useless. DRAMA QUEENS looking for drama. If its not there, they create it! One person said they act like Cops with tazer guns. They just can't help themsleves.They are drunk with power and out of control. Whats sad is, the gay related threads that can get bitchy and just nasty are all tolerated but if someone says soemthing like "Bisexuality does not exist" and I or another bisexual responds and its rather harsh, the mods give warnings and shake their fingers to be nice and will even delete posts and edit threads. God, its disgusting to see that kind of hatred. I make sure no matter how pissed I am I always remain calm. I try not to swear and I try to be civil. I find sending a poster a PM telling them I respect their opinion, but don't fall into their sterotype of bisexual usually gets a honest and riendly reply back.Things on the boards can get heated,but they never get mean spiritied or out of control. I told a guy that said Bisexuals are 99% gays not reay to come out, that his post was mean and I was disgusted by it. I got a response on the message board rom the moderator that I had better be careful and play by the rules. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and it was wrong of me to say I was disgusted. When I asked why he was allowed to give his opinion and I was not allowed to give mine,I got no response from the mods. Just more insults from the same poster who got no such warning. This is just one of numerous examples. I have sent PM's to the some of the other bisexuals on the board and asked them to file a complaint and ask questions about the bi bias. Most just don't want to get involved or be bothered by it.Anyway, if anyone is interested and wants to witness for themselves heres the site. I post under the name of Romantico.

The bisexual forum seems to be the most heavily policed section on the board. They gotta keep "Our Kind" in line I suppose.
I also go to the askmen.com message boards and they seem to have no problem with gays, but they REALLY hate us bisexuals. Bisexual women are cool and hot okay, but guys who are bosexuals are losers and scum according to their site! Thanks for listening to me rant!

There are drama queens everywhere.
Even ones here on bisexual.com like the mage that cry wolf about being "raped" and then after they've gotten the attention they need from others to feed their ego and cause drama, they admit how it was all a consensual "rape" scene and not really rape at all.
I post at the site and I wouldn't say that it's 99% gay men and the forums are a lot less biphobic than they were in years past and in the bi section they will ban people who are being assholes or who spam the phobic shit.
As far as supporting the site goes, why would you support a porn site? I don't support Drew's pet project 3pillows.com since he cares more about it and the money it generates more than this free site bisexual.com.
I've posted examples of the phobic attitudes there many times. Most people just post that shit to get a rise out of people and I just ignore it.
Bigots never change their perspective, they just re-word it.

Ah'wjeezysuckwipe thanks a lot!
Whoever pulled that one out of the hat! "Biphobia".
Bi-phobia = "fear of two."
Sure I'm really looking forward to Googling "homosexual extremist militants" and finding a video of a bunch of hooded boyscouts slicing a dude in half with a buzzsaw after a lengthy diatribe about playing the fence and chanting "pick a sex either way! can't be both straight and gay! While some poor screaming slob who's probably just a stupid crackhead off the street is bisected with a power-tool on camera.GET IM GIRLS!QUEERPOWERQUEERPOWERQUEERPOWER!
And this dude is gettin all sliced in half n shit.
This is crazy shit.
LOL for days!!!
Too funny.

I've never posted on there but I read a little of it recently when you complained about the biphobia on here about it before.
I used to lurk on the LGBT section of Yahoo! Answers. I never did anything more than lurk. The biphobia on there was so frustrating. Most people were good, many people were great, some people were a little confused about what bisexuality is and would be nicer to us soon enough when they learnt and some were outright bigots that didn't seem to have any hope.
What was annoying is that people, including well-respected people who posted often on there, would answer to a question from a bisexual and/or transgendered person about men who like women or women who like men by writing things like "This is the LGBT section. You won't find any of those people here." :banghead:
The arrogance of some when replying to questions about asexuality was annoying too. "Haha, do you even know what asexuality is? Humans can't be asexual."
Those aren't actual quotes, by the way.

What I find so hilarious is the number of overtly gay men getting their backs blown out by men WHO ARE IN RELATIONSHIPS OR MARRIAGES WITH WOMEN.
And tend to prefer it!
Why not- If you can get her to hollar like that I KNOW Imma holla!
Serious this shit is too "Old Black-Michael-Jackson nose" funny.

Maybe that's why some of them want to deny the existence of bisexuality. They want to convince themselves that they've fulfilled their fantasy of banging a straight guy (:cool:) when they had really just slept with a damn fence-sitter (:eek:).

And BY GOLLY Bipho say he what more!
That's the whole damned problem is people trying live fantasies. Fantasies of being this or being that, and putting on whatever it takes to get there. Bisexuality is not pompous or predisposed to anything but what is right there up front.

biphobia like any other sexual phobia is mainly fueled by the people that bitch about it
its like a fire.....we know its a fire, and that it needs water...... but then we have people that feel that people in other towns * sites * need to know about this fire, so they take a burning branch to another town......
so I am curious.... how is dragging the attitudes of another site into bisexual.com, helping people combat biphoiba
its a bit like preventing the spread of aids / hiv by sleeping around while warning people about the dangers

Wasn't sure so I thought I'd clear something up. I'm not saying I'm seeing biphobia here on this forum, I'm talking about Justusboys and Askmen.com. Askmen,isn't surprising.But JustusBoys is. Heterosexuals in my opinion are less tolerant over gays,lesbians,bisexuals, and transgendered people. I have this naieve assumption that all gay people don't discriminate against anyone over sexual discrimination.
Azrael, do you really think I'm looking for drama? You think I am being hypocriticial? I don't see how getting pissy over discrimination over sexual orientiation translates to hypocrisy or drama. Perhaps Martin Luther King was just 'whinning' and Rosa Parks was just being 'difficult'.My point is, if you see something you feel is wrong I say speak out.

........................once again the sick little puppy throws a bit of my life out there for all to see. In a completely unrelated topic he find a way to squeeze just one more reminder about a very real event in my life. Once again in his total god like omnipotence proclaims it to be what it was not.
His sick little boy brain turns it into what he seems to cry out for.. some sort of bondage rape fantasy encounter.. with somebody just any body..
This disgusting behavior shows a child like lack of judgment.
you remain a sick sad little boy.
No these responses as of now will not stop....diamond dog is a sick dangerous boy. He should be the one banned not me.

You're the one that posted about how you had NSA bondage and a totally consensual "rape" scene with a total stranger, claiming that it was real rape when in reality it was a consensual "rape" scene set up, and you posted about how everything is fine between you and that guy.
You didn't mention that it was a totally consensual "rape" scene until AFTER you'd gotten the attention and real sympathy from people to boost your pathetic ego that always needs feeding and attention.
Yet again you're bringing my age into this when you've claimed tons of times that you never do this at all.
At least I'm not old, paranoid, drug addicted, highly immature, consumerist driven, have values based on heteronormativity, and I don't have a jaded outlook on life like you have.
If Drew actually cared about this site and not the porn site 3pillows where he makes money you'd actually still be banned from here since you're a troll.
You're the sick and twisted one since you threatened me with physical violence and abusive language when I simply disagreed with your false, 20 year old outdated and biphobic information when you said that when hetero women get HIV, they ALL get it from bi men who are of course cheating on them with other men.
Let's not forget about how you posted that heterosexual men and women don't need to worry about HIV/AIDS.
Being cut reduces HIV transmission only in female to male sex transmission during vaginal sex, which is rare in the first world anyway so its a non issue here.
Actually Brian, I'm not into NSA with strangers, unlike you are and you've posted a lot about this topic before. You're even very vocal about how much you love being fucked and being the bottom for anal sex when it comes to consensual "rape" scenes that you set up with total strangers.
It's not my fault that this site sucks, the owner/administrator is never around, and you can easily get unbanned when you change your IP address, as you yourself have proven, which is very easy to do.

There are phobic people everywhere.
I've written countless times about how people on this site are biphobic and homophobic and I wrote about an example of biphobia in my last post when I was writing about how the mage assumes that when a heterosexual woman gets HIV she had to of course get it from a bisexual man who had to be cheating on her with men.

I'm free of all prejudices. I hate everyone equally.

Yes, but since "Stupidity is the basic building block of the universe. (Frank Zappa)" we will always have prejudice. :)
Everyone wants to think "We are the good guys, those losers different than us are the bad guys."; thus prejudice.:)

You shouldn't project YOURSELF onto OTHER people.
My information isn't wrong and I'm not into doing bondage or consensual "rape" scenes with complete strangers like you are.
Even if I were into consensual "rape" scenes with other consenting adults (I'm actually not though), why would it actually matter?
You constantly ramble on about how people should be free to do whatever they want sexually as long as there is consent but yet your flames in this post here show that you're a hypocrite and that you somehow think that doing bondage, having NSA consensual sex with a stranger, or doing a consensual "rape" scene are somehow "bad" or "wrong". :rolleyes:
Brian, you're the one who said that you weren't raped by that man from this site who was a total stranger who you had NSA sex with and who you did a consensual "rape" scene with.
OK, so you're jealous that you didn't figure out your sexuality until you were older and you didn't do consensual rape scenes with men in your youth.
I go hunt for me at age 17 and slap me upside the head and tell me to smarten up. Then I'd take me [my past youthful self, if there was time travel] to a strip club and get me drunk and ravage me.
Quit taking it out on myself and other people here who are young who have discovered our sexuality in our youth acted upon it and figured out what we like unlike you did.
I've posted about HIV and other STDs with valid sources and info before, long before your troll ass started posting here.

................he he he.. yes do go on posting snippets if out of context out of chronological order and call it valid...
you are a good propagandist I'll give you that... That is how you pissed me off before but it aint so no more..
Its a classic attack you see, you never respond with fact based info, You heap on and on the list of accusations the list of supposed perversions, and oh yes of course you have added the list of drugs you suppose I'm on now too..
Heres a thought for the still reading lover of gossip (I know you're out there he he;) ) I know nothing of the zirconium puppy other than from his postings. I dont pretend to know his chronological age or whether he fucks his fathers deads aunts cat and eats it for breakfast, I dont care. His pitiful posting makes him unworthy of of looking up. He is an amusing annoyance at this point. Still dangerous in his willingness to throw out for play his sick attempt at psychological dissertation on other lives though, so I will still respond.....
