Let's face it, the world wasn't made for bisexuals. All LGBT people face setbacks, but I feel like it's harder for bisexuals. For me, it seems that people either want to believe you're heterosexual and looking for attention or gay and in denial.
Since I was young I have known that there's something very different about me. When I was 11 I realized I liked girls, but I denied it for years. One thing that bothers me is how much this has become a fad. It seems like every teenage girl in existence has churned out a confession to being bisexual. I feel that very few of these are genuine. Another thing that doesn't help is the celebrity hype. How am I supposed to present myself when Angelina Jolie and Megan Fox are standing around talking about how bisexual they are? It's not that I don't respect that, it's just that it seems so glamorized, like something people are going to gravitate toward to make them more popular or interesting. I try my best to just stay true to myself and not let these things bother me, but in a way they undermine everything that I am. Any thoughts? Posted on 09/25/09, 10:09 am |

i understand exactly where you're comming from. just bc someone confesses being bisexual w their mouth doesnt mean that they're biseual. yes u r rite, there are so many fake ppl wanting to be bisexual. i consider myself as being a genune bisexual person. i truly like girls. in all honesty i really dont wanna be bisexual but i cant help it. i dont wanna b bi bc i am in church and i know itz not ritet to do. i am trying to do rite by god but me being myself is not allowing me to do so. what do u think about this?

Oh there have been many a discussion on this topic. Adding the Church... well, that makes it all that much more difficult. I believe in God, but I don't believe in the Church or the Bible. Why? Because these two things are man made, and man gets things wrong constantly. I trust my heart, and how God speaks to me there.
As far as I'm concerned, you have to be true to yourself. The morals you need to concern yourself with include monogamy. If you fall in love with and want to spend the rest of your life with, a same sex partner, then that's where the real life change and further issues come in. Otherwise, it's simply another part of you, and you should cherish it. You don't necessarily need to announce it to the world.

Thank you :)
I know honesty with myself is the most important thing. I will never compromise myself for what others want, in any part of life. I'm not really concerned as far as religion goes, I know God would never do something to me that I have no control over and then tell me it's wrong. At the same time, there are instances when I feel like it defines me. Yes, it's an important part of who I am, but it's not ALL that I am. I think that's what frustrates me most.

its interesting that you speak of yourself as a "genuine bisexual" and find it difficult to come out when youre doing the same--criticizing other's and not validating their self-identification as a bisexual. im proud that Anjelina Jolie and Megan Fox identify as bisexual, its true that is seems glamourized cause not all individuals have the privilege to be fully accepted from others. Yet we should be proud that the media is beginning to recognize bisexuality, it'll make it less harder for other to come out.

I agree with greetreepeace that at least now we are getting some attention. Yes, there are few people who define themselves as bi as part of a trend, but I think things are at least moving forward. There will be hardship, but that's what we should expect.

I know what you're talking about and find it equally frustrating. go to any club and watch the little straight girls kissing each other so their guys will like them more--makes me sick. Sorry, but it's just so fake. I suffered so much with my beliefs and with coming out to myself and my friends and I still struggle with family members so I don't even say anything. I think it's interesting that celebrities can proudly announce their bi and all the men who slobber over them can clap their hands--where does that leave us day-to-day weirdos, eh? LOL In real life, it's not glamorous at all--its confusing and hard and people judge you for it. Just saying...

It aint cool that its chic and cool for chicks to kiss and hang all over each other in public but let two guys hold hands and people wanna bash the hell out of them.

I am not part of your support group I think bisexually is fad myself... I don't believe in labels thoughs.. I believe you love who you love, and if fate think you should together it will happen.. BUT I am also non religious. I just don't see how love can ever be wrong if it makes you happy.. But I do think it shame for people pretend to be something when they are not.. I never had a true encounter with a woman, if I wasn't married I love to try it.. But to many people are committing to things just cause the movies stars are doing it this week.
