I probably shouldn't have watched this video today as I was already feeling a bit down. Whoops.
My worst experience re this problem... was on a date with a woman, it was going really well, we were in a pub after the meal and ended up kissing. She pulls back, takes a deep breath, confides in me that she has experimented with women and asks if that's a problem? I breathe a sigh of relief, say it's no problem and that I'm pan. She immediately pulls back further with a look of pure revulsion on her face, and says "Sorry but that's just a huge turn-off. I know it's hypocritical but I can't help how I feel"
She was a therapist too. I'm putting myself out there again as of the last month or so, but I didn't date for a long time after that. I kinda feel like I don't want to even bother trying to date someone who isn't also LGBT but it seems the prejudice is also high in our own community!
Biphobia is a pretty big turn-off ngl
For real. She asked me if I'd like to stay for another drink, I said no thanks and went home.
