Many people see the label as “contradicting” or both homophobic and biphobic. Many exclusionists (and some Inclusionists) feel that Gay isn’t an umbrella term, and that treating it like such hurts the community and contributes to gay mlm erasure.<br /> |

A Bisexual Gay (or Bi-Gay for short) is someone who uses the split attraction model, and is both bisexual and homoromantic (gay). They have sexual attraction to two or more genders but are only romantically attracted to men. They may find themselves sexually attracted to women, but could never picture themselves in a relationship with one, putting more emphasis on their attraction to men, though this varies from person to person.
The term is also sometimes use when one is bisexual, but prioritizes their attraction to men or has a preference for men, although this definition has been criticized for being reductive of the word bisexual. It perpetuates the misconception that bisexual people who prefer the same sex or are dating the same sex are "basically gay". The term achillean bisexual can be used to more accurately describe this identity.
