A group of multi-ethnic young adults explore and walk around downtown Los Angeles, California on a summer evening, checking out the city night life. They walk casually down a city street lined with cars and tall buildings, talking and enjoying the night. Horizontal image.

“When’s the last time you dated a woman?” I get asked this all the time, and it’s probably my least favorite question regarding my (bi)sexuality.

There are a couple of reasons why the question bothers me so much. First, it’s a loaded question, based on the false premise that you have to date men and women equally in order to be “truly” bisexual. With this question, people are implying that I’m gay because I’ve only dated men for the past few years.
