I do think there's a difference between "politically queer" heterosexuals and people who actually engage in same-sex relationships before settling down with the opposite sex. There are a number of practical reasons why that tends to happen -- there's less risk of being judged by family, it's easier to start a family of your own, plus the dating pool is larger to begin with. It doesn't mean they were never bisexual to begin with.
Although, I do find it cringe when people in long-term monogamous hetero relationships make a big deal about being bisexual or act like it makes their hetero relationships "more queer". That seems like a straightforward consequence of progressives treating "heterosexual" as a synonym for "evil oppressor" and "queer" as a synonym for "virtuous and special".
I figured that out from context clues :)
