American singer, songwriter, and actress, Halsey, had to set some folks straight on what it means to be bisexual.
After posting a photo of herself on the cover of Paper Magazinecelebrating Pride, Halsey was disappointed some people fell back on old stereotypes that a bisexual person stops being bisexual once they get in a heteronormative relationship.
She captioned the original post with:
Happy #NationalComingOutDay! ya girl is #OutAndProud. Here's a throwback of me covering @papermagazine's PRIDE Issue! One of the 🏳️🌈proudest🏳️🌈 moments of my life!

It didn't take long for people to start questioning her sexuality because she is dating rapper G-Eazy.

Luckily, many more people showed Halsey love rather than ignorance or hate.

It would seem the majority gets it. Bisexuality doesn't "go away" based on the gender of the person you are with.
Here's to Halsey and an end to the erasure of people's sexualities.
