In this podcast excerpt, Dallas Bragg asks why bisexual men are often less trusted by gay men. The co‑host explains two main reasons: first, negative personal experiences—some gay men have had unfavorable encounters with bisexual men, leading them to generalize distrust toward the group. Second, deeper queer‑community dynamics around self‑acceptance and self‑worth: gay men may feel insecure or "not enough" when a bisexual partner is perceived as seeking something they cannot provide, prompting fears of being replaced or the bisexual partner dating a woman. The discussion highlights how these experiential and psychological factors intertwine to create a trust deficit between bisexual and gay men.

It seems like bisexual men are less— they're, they're not trusted as much by gay men, right? There's a lack of trust. Why do you think that is?
I think, okay, the— don't hate me, people. Just kidding. Um, so there's, I think there's a couple of reasons for it. I think the first one is experiential, right? So some people will have situations with bisexual men that do not end favorably. And therefore what ends up happening is that people will attach negative experience to this particular type of individual. And I understand that, right? I don't wanna invalidate that because if you have a really negative experience with somebody like that, of course it's gonna stick with you and you're gonna have difficulty trusting somebody else who identifies as bisexual because you immediately go to, well, the last time I was with somebody who was bisexual, this happened to me, right? So there's that part of it. I think the other part of it is as queer men, we, we have difficulty with Self-acceptance and self-value and self-worth and those kinds of things. So I think that there's always this underlying concern and threat that that person is not enough. Like if a bisexual man is with a gay man, the gay man oftentimes feels like they are not enough because they don't have all the proper appendages that would satisfy the bisexual person. I see. And they may leave and date a woman because you weren't enough.
