I don't really understand. Do you mean other LGBT members have those, or someone else?

^Some people within the LGBT community- excluding the B and T anyway.

Oh, then no. At least I don't think so. Gays/Lesbians (or any others) would probably know what it's like to be different than most people. I'm not LGBT so I wouldn't really know. It could happen, I guess.

Oh yes ! I don't really for trans actually, but i know some gay/lesbian who are very disrespectful with bi and i really don't understand why. They also say stuff like "pick a side !" but the point is, they don't have a side, so that's a stupid thing to say !

They say 'pick a side'? That's awful! Then I'm changing my answer. Gays would understand that you can't help who you love. Homophobia, biphobia, transphobia, they're all stupid and horrible.

Yes, that's sadly not uncommon.
And i really don't understand. Straight people are sometimes rude and we are used to that and to their comments (even if they are a looooot of straight people who are really supportive, of course :) ) but to hear that from gays or lesbians, that's a shock, because they are the ones who you would think should understand you the most, whether you are gay, lesb, bi or trans. And really, all this label shit makes me sick actually. I don't understand why people need to put a label on everything. Love is love, and that should be it.

I've heard/seen a lot of lesbians saying they'd never date a girl who's bi because they'll leave them for a guy.

That's ridiculous. I mean, yes, it -could- happen, but in dating any person they could leave you for anyone. There's always a risk.

And a lot of them do say 'Pick a side, you can't choose both.' I just.. can't take ignorance.

Mostly transphobia, but I have known people to make the biphobic "pick a side" comment too.
