: From what I've seen they're seems to be a certain disdain, both from people gay and straight, for bi-sexuals. So maybe she was trying to shape people's impression of her so as not to be constantly told, "Oh you're not gay, you're bisexual." (imagine the snotty tone for yourself).
I have experience this sort of prejudice myself. I am bi, my friends are lesbian and even thought they KNOW that I'm bi, they refer to me as lesbian.
There can be a stigma against bi people. Although I though I think it is utterly ridiculous that a group who complains about being judged based on sexuality, judges another group based on sexuality.
