Bisexual IDs Up, Male Partners Persist

The share of women identifying as bisexual has risen sharply in the last decade, especially among young, liberal, highly educated women. Yet surveys Bloom cites say over 90% of such women are currently partnered with men, and most report only male partners in recent years. This suggests a divergence between online‑amplified identity labels and stable underlying sexual preferences. — It reframes headline LGBTQ growth as an identity/behavior shift rather than a wholesale rewiring of desire, affecting media narratives, policy interpretation, and claims about social media’s power.
