    I mean, saying “I’m gay” takes less than half the syllables of “I’m bisexual”, I prefer the former whenever I’m pressed for time.

      Do people not just shorten it to “I’m bi”? I don’t think I’ve ever encountered anyone who didn’t know what I was talking about.

        That’s a fair point for sure, but there’s also just something about the way saying “gay” feels, versus “bi”. Not necessarily an emotional impact so much as, I guess, mouth feel?

      Also, ruins the joke “hi bisexual, I’m dad”. It doesn’t roll off the tongue as nicely as the “hi gay, I’m dad”.
