Bisexuality Support Group
Bisexuality is a sexual orientation which refers to the aesthetic, romantic, and/or sexual attraction of individuals to other individuals of both their own and the opposite gender or sex. Most bisexuals are not equally attracted to men and women, and may even shift between states of finding either sex exclusively attractive over the course of time.
I have only known I was bisexual for about 8 years. Before that I was certain I was a lesbian. I think, sometimes, that I am only attracked to men because of my upbringing.
When I was 19 i told my parents about a girl I was dating. I am very close with my parents, so I thought it would be okay. My mother didn't speak to me for two weeks, and when she finally did she said she had thought about it and realised it was just a faze.
Since then I haven't told them about any girl I have been with, and have stuck mostly to men. But I am tired of living a conformity. I don't have any lesbian friends. I have a few gay friends who are males, but no females. I want to meet more lesbians - not just for romance, but to be comfortable in my own skin. But I live in a society and a world that doesn't accept it, and so I don't know where to start. Only a few of my friends know, and I have lost some because they found out, so I'm scared but at the same time, determined to find myself. To be true to myself. But I don't know how - literally and emotionally.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
It's wonderful that you're here on this site and I hope that someday you'll be able to live in a community that is open-minded about all sexual orientations. It can be such a challenge to be true to ourselves in the face of rejection and judgement, but I do believe that it is more painful to pull away from who we really are.
I only recently discovered the part of myself that is attracted to women, and the part has announced itself loudly, which has made my life very difficult. My friends have been supportive, and my boyfriend was understanding, too, but I feel so much turmoil inside.
All my best to you, Ave
Question, are you completely out of the closet and openly gay? if so you shouldn't worry too much about finding lesbian friends, they will eventually flock to you for the same reasons you want to have lesbian friends
and if not it is kinda like the quote "build it and they will come" but instead "come out and they will come"
and i know that will not be the easiest thing to do, do do that when you are ready.
