    “A copy of the UN application says his refugee claim was denied because the adjudicator did not find Mwangi, who is married and has two children, to be a credible bisexual man“

    Bi erasure strikes yet again. Bi and pan folks in supposedly “straight” relationships are still LGBTQ+, the letter “B” is right effing there. Bi and pan folks absolutely face discrimination and oppression, even if it doesn’t necessarily manifest in the same ways other queer folks experience.

    I’m glad he has a temporary reprieve from deportation, at least.

    Do they expect him to be fully gay, even when it’s right there in the word bi-sexual…? Like his options are majority women, minority men. (self-admitting bisexual and gay men are a minority, even if -and I do mean if; this is not a statement of fact- actually most people are more fluid than they’d otherwise believe or admit, if they were raised to be just chill with whatever) especially for having a family…? That’s just statistics.
