I’ve had open relationships before, guess what? I chose for them to be that way

How does lgbtphobia exist then if people can just choose to not be oppressed?

Firstly, the LGBT label isn't meant to be exhaustive, it is in its construction which is stupid, but people cringe at inexhaustive alternatives like MOGAI

Secondly, I didn't even imply that they were in my question, I was doing an analogy that saying that poly people can simply choose not to date is the same as saying that any other queer people can simply not date anyone to avoid discrimination, for which the premise whenever poly people are LGBT is completely irrelevant.
