ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Biphobia

Okay kiddo, so you know how some people like boys and some people like girls, right? Well, some people actually like both boys and girls! That’s called being bisexual.

Now, sometimes people are mean to bisexuals and don’t like them just because they like both boys and girls. That’s called biphobia. It’s kind of like when someone doesn’t like you just because of something you can’t change, like the color of your hair or the size of your nose.

But just like it’s not okay to judge someone based on things they can’t change, it’s not okay to judge someone based on who they love. Everyone deserves to be respected and loved for who they are, no matter who they love.
