Hey Pandas, Which Sexuality Do You Think Gets Discriminated Against The Most?
I’m not trying to start any arguments about who has it worst, but I would like the know what people think.

I’m not going to say it’s the most discriminated against as this isn’t a competition but bisexuals, aromantics, and asexuals tend to get discriminated against a lot even within the lgbt+ community.
From what I’ve seen of asexuals and aromantics, folks simply assume that they’re all either traumatised people who need to be freed by the right one or they’re cold psychopaths who don’t even love their own family. Plus, people often conflate them together and assume that all asexuals are aromantic and vice versa when in reality you can be something like a gay ace, bisexual aromantic etc (not denying the existence of aroaces but they’re not the only type of aspec individuals).
For bisexuals, they get discriminated against by both homophobes and the lgbt community for the same reason as bi’s are viewed as either “half gays” or “half straights” and people will even assume that bisexual people are “just confused” and “need to pick a side”. God forbid a bisexual person has a partner of the opposite s*x and suddenly they’re viewed as straight and no longer welcome to the community or if they have a partner of the same s*x and they’re viewed as gay as they’ve “finally chosen a side”. Sometimes bisexual people are thought to be unfaithful or polyamorous since they play for both teams because of which nobody on either side would want to date them(not denying the existence of such bi folks but they’re not the only type of bi and aren’t as common as everyone thinks).
Everyone in the lgbt+ community has faced discrimination in some form but these sexualities specifically tend to get either overlooked more or are looked down upon
Currently, heterosexuality seems to be the least fashionable. People will say it's payback for years of dominance, but I don't think we'll ever reach equality by eliminating straight white able-bodied males from all the advertising and media. Society is still coming to terms with the trans issue, it's very early days, and I don't think that will ever be completely settled until someone comes up with a definition of a "woman" that doesn't rely on biology (if that's possible) and is acceptable to both biological and trans women.
