Monosexism is the belief that monoromanticism (either exclusive heterosexuality and/or homosexuality) is superior to or more legitimate than multisexuality. |

Homophobes see non-monoromanticism as morally wrong, as sinful, dangerous, or deviant. Some gay people dismiss bisexuals as lacking in self-acceptance, and claim that m-specs are actually gay but are in denial. Others see see m-specs as trying to maintaining straight privilege while simultaneously trying to get into LGBT spaces. |

Another common attitudes toward bisexuality, especially among heterosexual people, is the fear that their m-spec partner will leave them for a member of the same sex. Similar fears exist among gay people as well, leading to the stereotype that m-specs are more likely to cheat. There is a belief that multi-specs will eventually get married |

and "choose a side", dismissing the fact that multiromantics are still |

attracted to multiple genders after they are married. |
