This is actually a classic way in which bisexuality gets ignored (some would say erased). There is a strong narrative of "so which are you, gay or straight?". People also apply it to themselves, "well, I'm dating someone of the same gender now so I guess I'm gay now".
All the LGBT letters have their own battles, but this one seems rather unique to bisexual people. I think there are a number of reasons for this which I could go an about at length if anyone is interested.
I think this was rather hilariously (IMHO) demonstrated recently by Kevin Spacey's coming out letter (if we can look at it in isolation from everything else going on in that department)[1].
