also, i didn't include alot of aspects that were covered in what i read. too bad i couldn't find it again. but really, i was just challenging people to try to understand what causes you to have these feelings toward the opposite sex or the same sex. i'm to understand biologically what makes it... its not at all negative. i think its absolutely beautiful.
My mother thought that my sexuality was a phase, also. Well after three years, I think she's given up on that idea! Its completely idiotic for people to think that it is a choice for someone to be gay or bisexual...some people spend their entire lives trying to hide who they are or pretend to be straight - if it was a choice, why would they do that? If it was a choice - why would so many gay and bisexual people commit suicide to end the intolerance and violence they experienced in their lives? Rediculous, I tell you...sheesh. Anyways...'fake bisexuals' have infected my high school. Its quite sad, really...they think that making out in front of half of the football team makes them uber cool, but they're morons. Being bi means that you are cabable of LOVING either sex equally (or moreso one than the other)...not kissing your best friend so a bunch of drooling dudes will think you're sexy. Anyways! lol...to the point...You'll have to give your parents, friends, and/or family time to realize that your sexual preferences aren't going to magically go away. Patience is the key, really; you'll just have to wait it out. (And if that doesn't work, flaunt your girlfriend in their faces someday! Thats how my best friend's parents finally gave up. lol) Either way, good luck and much love.
someone said everyone outgrows it... what are you talking about? how do you outgrow a natural 'instinct'? I'll outgrow my attraction to a good looking guy or girl eventually? I'll outgrow my emotional draw towards guys or girls eventually? How will i do that? someday i'll wake up completely gay or straight? i think not. I think i simply am above 'gender' and simply want someone im attracted to and have a connection with taht. the genetalia isnt the important part in the relationship. c'mon now
I read that "you'll outgrow it thing" too, and I am outraged. I know that absolutely everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but bisexuality is a genuine sexuality that many people... okay, lost my train of though. But anyway, I understand the whole "switcheroo" thing. My ex-g/f did that on me. Long story. She just "turned straight" in like, a week. Being bisexual is completely normal. I'm not saying everyone is (duh), but people need to realise that it is a genuine sexuality. People can and do love both sexes. There's not just black-and-white sexuality in the world. My parents found out two years ago and just got used to it. Very few people gave me shit about it. It's very unfortunate when people do harrass you, etc. because you're bi. I'm sorry that your family is acting so ridiculously. They should accept you and your sexuality without pushing just one sex on you.
