Patti Stanger, the host of cabler
Bravo's Millionaire Matchmaker, doesn't believe bisexual men
exist.
Appearing Tuesday on Bethenney,
Bethenny Frankel's new syndicated talk show, Stanger said she would
never marry a bisexual man.
“Uh, never! Never. Never. And if
they're bisexual, they're gay!” Stanger
said. (The video is embedded on this page. Visit
our video library for more videos.)
Out's Matthew Breen pointed out
that Stanger has also criticized bisexual women in the past, telling
a client on her show that bisexual women “are not the women you
want to be the mother of your children.”
“Setting aside the fact that she's
factually wrong on both accounts, Stanger herself was in a same-sex
relationship for a year!” Breen
wrote. “She dates men now, but dated women in the past. Would
that make her bisexual as well – or at least at one point? Or is
she asserting a right to label her orientation however she chooses?
If the latter, why wouldn't a bisexual man be able to do the same?”
