Give It To Me Bi

"Gay Passing" Bisexuals in Same Gender Relationships


Listen Later

In this episode of Give It To Me Bi, we tackle the nuanced experiences of bisexual people in same-gender relationships. Have you ever felt "not straight enough to be bi"? For many bi+ individuals, being in a queer-presenting or same-gender relationship often leads to being mistaken as gay or lesbian, resulting in unique challenges and privileges.


We unpack what it means to navigate the world as a bi person in a same-gender relationship, the dynamics of "gay-passing" privilege, and how these intersections shape identity, community, and visibility. We also explore how to embrace your bisexuality fully, foster meaningful connections, and address feelings of imposter syndrome within the LGBTQIA+ community.


Highlights include:

  • Navigating "gay-passing" privilege and the visibility struggle in same-gender relationships
  • Overcoming internalised biphobia and toxic masculinity in forming same-sex platonic friendships
  • Dating in same-sex circles as a bisexual person—unique joys, challenges, and navigating spaces
  • How your partner can support your visibility and identity


Plus, we dive into listener questions and comments, including a video submission on why it's important to clarify "gay-passing" relationships, and explore how to find pride in your unique place in the queer spectrum.


This is a can't-miss episode for anyone navigating identity, visibility, and community as a bisexual person in same-gender relationships.
