My alternative explanation is that bi men stay in the closet “too long” cause they are discouraged from being open and they also kinda can stay closeted.

That makes you fly under the radar and hear and possibly even internalize the worst things straight people say about LGBT people. It also makes you spend more time with straight people instead of your fellow bi dudes, who you could best advocate for yourself with.

That’s how it was for me anyway. Mind you, I’m not blaming us for our oppression, just saying that we’re in a bit of a tricky dilemma.
