It unfortunately doesn't surprise me.

He was not referring to children, but to young adults. The Moroccans he was
referring to were the first generation who arrived in the Netherlands, and
whose children are now young adults.

They discriminate bisexuals because they don't believe that bisexuality is
an option. They consider that there are only two options: pure
homosexuality and pure heterosexuality, and anyone claiming to be in
between is a gay guy who doesn't assume, and thus deserve nothing but
contempt. Being part of a discriminated minority doesn't automatically make
people open-minded unfortunately...
