Terms only lose their meaning for those with no discernment... or at least a capacity to discern between nonsense and substance.

I think a perfect example is the word woke, which while abused and misused can still have value when applied correctly. Although some dismiss it out of hand too. Same goes for any other buzzword. Things are still racist or anti semitic or misogynistic etc despite these words being weaponized and bastardized on a regular basis.

Again by your logic. Maybe other useful words would need to be discarded since they are used "frequently and with such vagueness". It's just silly.

And it's very ironic you would say any of this given your dogmatic stance on race play. Interesting.

I like your observations and agree with your points on the word "woke" and certain applications of the invective, "racist" or "racism." I also agree the difference is substance. And, in the case of the post to which I responded, the use of the term, "anti-bisexual" lacked any substance, and I equated its use in that context to slurring someone as "anti-gay." And, yes, I think the term "homophobic" falls into the category of invective for its overuse.

Not really. For audiences it would be easier to swallow / accept him if he had an attraction to women instead of just men.

Most research doesn't support the idea that bisexual men are more accepted than gay or straight men. Below are a couple of examples.

69.1% of bisexual men and 82.6% of bisexual women felt that they were at least “mostly accepted” in the community. This is in contrast to the 90.8% of gay men and 92.7% of lesbian women who indicated that their own subgroup (i.e., gay men or lesbian women, respectively) was at least “mostly accepted.

bisexuality is often perceived as an invalid and unstable sexual orientation, with bisexual people being stereotyped as being uncertain about their sexual orientation, sexually promiscuous, and unfaithful in relationships (Burke & LaFrance, 2018).

I'm bi, and it so happened that I got together with a guy, besides, he's much younger than me

The personal attack was unnecessary and unprovoked.

Both of my responses to your posts are relevant and have a direct relationship to your comments.

The first response was related to your claim that even though someone has publicly declared themselves bisexual and your claim that a a private event that person did not present as bisexual or expressed the "same sentiment" but rather as gay, therefore is not bisexual is bi-erasure.

Second comment was to your position that said person claimed to be bisexual for professional acceptance. The research does not support that that bisexual men are more accepted.. Gay men and straight men are more accepted than bisexual men.

I hope that helps clarify my comments.
