He is not saying anything about it being weird there are gay or bisexual relationships. Just that every instance of a homosexual relationship is also bisexual.

Like its interesting there are no purely homosexual relationships as you would expect from an accurate sampling

You misunderstood:

I didn't imply that he is homophobic or biphobic
I think it's possible that this is a more accurate sampling, as I think that bi people are underrepresented in common statistics.

That's why this was interesting to me. I myself am bi and that has not been my experience. Most gay men I encounter are fully gay, and I've only ever met 2 other bi people in my life.

Are they fully gay, or did they embrace the acceptance of a biphobic culture by leaning into their gay side?

I'm not devaluing their choices, I'm just saying that people sometimes shut doors out of choice, not because there's no world in which they'd take them.
