People often feel more comfortable using the term “bisexual” because it acknowledges attraction to the opposite sex, which aligns with societal norms about heterosexual relationships. This contrasts with “gay,” which some perceive as more polarizing or less accepted due to its exclusive same-sex focus. Bisexuality is sometimes viewed as less “threatening” because it plays into both worlds, but this can also lead to harmful stereotypes about bisexual people “choosing sides” or being less committed to their identity.
