Added DiffLines:

** Alice has been in many relationships with men, yet the second she kisses ''one'' woman, people assume she's a lesbian from that point onwards (and every ex-boyfriend of hers wonders if she was gay the whole time and that she never loved any of them).
** Alice is in a long-term relationship with someone both before and after their [[UsefulNotes/{{Transgender}} transition]]. People think that her partner transitioning changed Alice from a straight woman to a lesbian or vice-versa, despite Alice not caring about her partner's gender one bit.
** Alice is in a relationship with a ''non-binary and/or intersex person'', and people STILL refuse to believe she could be anything other than gay or straight.

* '''Deconstructed''': The lack of bisexual people spawns an investigation by the police.

* '''Deconstructed''': The lack of bisexual people spawns an investigation by the police.
Because nobody believes bisexuality exists and because even homosexuals and lesbians reject anyone who labels themselves as "bi", bisexuals must live a very discreet life if they want to avoid being outed as "two-timers" and as "homewreckers".
