I recently came to terms with the fact that Im bisexual. I always knew I was, but never really labeled myself as it. I always just said "Im very open to new ideas ;)" So, I put it on my myspace profile under the orientation part and my sister (who also has myspace) happend to go to my profile and notice it and she said "Since when is my sister bi?" Well, she said it in a comment so I kinda just didnt comment her back.

See, the thing is, Im in a serious relationship with a guy. I have been with him for about 7-8 months. And I dont really see the point in telling my family that Im Bi until I need to (ie. when/if I happen to get a girlfriend in the future) but I kinda feel like that is wrong in a way. Almost like Im lying to them.

What do you think..?

i dont think there is anything wrong with it...have they ever asked you if you were gay/bi? it really shouldnt be any of their buisness, and they should accept who you are with, weither it be female or male.



if they do ask if your bi, just tell them the truth. they should respect your right to love whom ever you choose to love

I'm pretty much in the same boat as you. I feel really bad, like I'm hiding myself from people, but then I think, "You know, it doesn't matter." The more I think about it, the crazier it drives me. I don't find it particularly appealing to scream my sexual orientation from the rooftops. In fact, I find that obnoxious. So it'll be known by only a few until further thought.

Exactly. I'm not 'in the closet,' or hiding it, it's there for anyone who wants to know. But I'm not going to put rainbow posters with QUEER written in shimmery letters on my wall...

A lot of my straight friends haven't come out of the closet as such, either :P

I haven't really told many people that I'm bi, even though I label myself as that. If people wanna know, I'll tell them. If there's someone that I want to know about it, I'll tell them. But I don't want to like publically broadcast my sexual preference. It's just not everyone's business. I haven't told anyone in my family either... I mean they'd want to know, but I know I'd just get a lot of concern and to be perfectly honest, I don't need concern, and I'm capable of being myself without support.

hmm. well im glad im not the only person who is leavin this til they ask. cuz the way i see it, if they dont ask, i dont needa tell them :p but if they ask, its not like Im going to lie to them cuz its not like Im ashamed at all.

I don't think there is anything wrong with that. At least you are being yourself. And I think it's a good idea to wait to tell your parents til you actually get into a serious relationship with a girl.
