I don't know why it took me so long to write my opinions about this, but here they are...
I’ve been having a few problems with how I should start this out. I don’t want to jump to attacking anyone for feeling the way that they do and I don’t want to start assuming things. So, I decided the best way I can start this out is by saying I am bisexual.
Yes, that’s right folks. If my half-gay hasn’t shown up on your gaydar yet, it’s official. I do fancy girls and boys. With that said, the rest might be a little easier to type out.
Obviously, I believe it exists and it’s not a phase. However, I think it’s a phase for those who are only looking for attention. A lot of girls I used to go to high school with would claim to be bisexual to get attention from the guys. They had low self-esteem and they didn’t know how else to get attention from the opposite sex without saying something that would catch their attention.
I think what gets a lot of people hung up on the topic of bisexuality and homosexuality is the sex. Just about anyone you talk to about homo/bisexuality will automatically jump to the sex. This is one of my biggest frustrations. I understand that sex is huge in everyday life; however, it’s not what being gay is all about. Personally, it’s more of who I have the best bond with. I’m open to the possibility of falling in love with another woman. If I fall in love with a man, great… if I fall in love with a woman... okay. Why does this bother people? You find the person for you and then worry about sex. (But this could be a perspective of the old fashioned and ill-experienced)
As for whether or not you’re born gay - I have no idea. I can say it’s just who I am. It’s part of me. If I want to be obnoxious I would ask, where you born straight? Well, of course! It’s only natural to be attracted to the opposite sex. Well, for me it’s natural to be bisexual. I’m not confused and I’m pretty sure I know who I am. I’m not claiming I know everything about myself and that my opinions on myself are how they’re going to be for the rest of my life, but I know my sexuality isn’t a question that bothers me anymore. I’m positive that this is who I am. When I find the person for me, my sexuality isn’t going to change. If I end up with a man, I’m still going to be bisexual. And if I end up with a woman, still a bisexual.
On the topic of acceptance; living in liberal California, I don’t see as much discrimination as bisexuals or homosexuals in other parts of the US might see. I still see discrimination, but at the same time I see a lot of people stepping up and fighting for the rights of the gay community. Last year there were churches and different organizations at the gay pride parade, just showing their support.
I can understand how it would be hard for someone with a religious background to accept bi/homosexuality, with the whole bible thing - but at the same time we’re all people, who we chose to spend the rest of our lives with shouldn’t be an issue with anyone.
And this is where I stop because my brain is rebelling.
