Rawr, moan, complain, rant.
Man, am I ever tired of people's reactions to finding out I'm bi.
"Um... did I just hear you right?" A legit answer from one of my family members upon hearing me say I'm bi. Okay, I know that not everyone is going to react the way I want them to. I get that it's a hard concept for some people to grasp. I guess that I can't assume that my family would react like my friends did, accepting it without questioning me...
But I DON'T GET IT!
I mean, my mother doesn't believe me, and assumes I'm just in my experimental phase. OK, how come it is that straight people don't have to experiment to assure others that they are straight, but when it comes to the LGBT community, if you haven't experimented yet, people assume it isn't true. Um, hi, it's just something that some people know.
Also, isn't five years a bit long for a phase? Come on guys.
It's not like I treat my sexuality as the whole of who I am. It's only part of who I am, and I don't go around shouting to the world, "HEY, I LIKE THE LADIES AND MEN!" Really, I don't see why my family is so dead-set on not believing me. It's like not believing that I'm a bookworm or that I need glasses.
Yeah, I'm in a bit of a bad mood about that.
