Bisexual stigma

posted January 24th, 2014 at 3:21 PM

Mid 20's female who has only ever had relationships with guys. I've know that I'm bisexual for about 5 years, but have always ignored it. I've heard some of my supposedly open-minded and liberal friends making comments on not believing bisexuality exists etc. so I'm not sure how to come out. I have no problem with it at all, I'm just wondering how other people in Vancouver have dealt with this.

Look, don't worry about the coming out part, just do what is best for you, you don't need to make an announcement, just be prepared to speak for yourself if you chose to.

I was afraid to accept myself for many years, and when I did, I never felt that a coming out scenario was on the table. Just keep loving yourself and make the kind of life for you the best that you can. Have fun!!

im 35 and have dated many girls in my life. The VAST majority of them have admitted to me they have either been with, or want to be with another woman. Many have had threesomes with me.

I have come to the conclusion that most (not all woman) are somewhat busexual in that they can get sexual gratification from another woman. There is nothing to "come out" about it. It would be like me going ot my guy friends and saying "i have to come out about the fact I like tits".

Have sex with another woman, or better yet date another woman.

You be as gay or bi as you want to, Dollface. I'm straight and happy that way...though I've checked out the other side. It is A-OK to love and own your sexuality and do it with grace and style. Love you extra as you go through the process. I'm a gay-rights activist. Ain't nobody's business but your own who and how ya love. xoxxo
