Bisexual Male Celebrities: from Alan Cumming to Karan Brar

The voices and stories of bisexual people are often ignored or misunderstood in the LGBTQ+ community, especially when talking about famous bisexual men whose sexual orientation is often erased or ignored. Bisexuality is often misunderstood as an attraction to only two genders, but in reality, bisexuality is an attraction to many genders. Nevertheless, biphobia is still prevalent in modern society, and bisexual men may also face particular patriarchal pressures that require them to choose between heterosexual and homosexual relationships. Therefore, the importance of raising the voices and stories of bisexuals, especially those of underrepresented individuals, cannot be overstated.
