 Bisexual erasure may stem from a belief that the bisexual community does not deserve equal status or inclusion within gay and lesbian communities.This can take the form of omitting the word "bisexual" in the name of an organization or event that serves the whole LGBT community, including it as "bi-sexual", implying that there are only two authentic sexual orientations, or treating the subject of bisexuality in a derogatory way.Historically, bisexual women have had their sexuality labeled by lesbian feminist circles as an "apolitical cop-out".
