A youtube video
I found a youtube video about the subject of discrimination agaisnt the Bi- sexuals. The proper term is Bi- phobia. I went to look up this video because its it good to see from actual videos reasons as to why people of the LGBT community are bi- phobic, also it was good to see the opinions of other people in the community expound on their resons as to why bi- sexuals are indeed a part of their community. Here is what I learned. From the point of view of bi-sexuals, i learned that their reason is that they do not label themselves "bi-sexual" at times because they believe that love does not have any limit. I also came across that they label themselves as "us". It seems that they believe that whoever discriminates agaisnt them has a level of ignorance because they are genralyzing something about their sexuality. However, from the point of view of the bi- phobic some believe that it is bogus, and there is no such thing as loving both genders. Also a health issue was raised agaisnt the bi-sexual people. It is sought that many lesbians, and gay people do not want diseases carried to them. For Ex: when a lesbian is dating a bi-sexual and she so happenly cheat on the lesbian with a guy, there is a chance that the disease can be brought back to the lesbian from the bi- sexual. In the LGBT community there is this understanding that the highest rate in AIDS is in African Americans that are found in the LGBT community. Many people believes that it is passed through the community by the bi- sexuals, thus the fear and discrimination of Bi- phobia was brought. It is noticed that indeed the term and discrimination was socially constructed amongst the group, and the idea was spreaded and influenced to other people.
