BISEXUAL
{ PRIDE }

A rant, on what seems to be a most appropriate place (trigger warning) : 

So, as you guys all know, I clearly run this blog, and I’m clearly bisexual. But, honestly, even I’m not totally comfortable in my own skin, regarding my sexual orientation.

I think this has to do with a lot of things. I think a lot of it is the fact that I have no support from my family. They all openly talk about bisexuals being either greedy or fake, all knowing full well that I’m out. They think it must have just been a stage, because I’ve been with the same boy for two years now. It was also because I always had to hide any girlfriends I had, because they did nothing but judge me. They found out about a girlfriend I had once and shamed me into breaking up with her.

But, in the end, no one is ever really supportive to any bisexual. My friends treat me like a novelty, because when we go out, I’ll look at girls with them. Society thinks I must just be a party girl, a slut, or looking for attention. Even the LGBTQ community is not particularly supportive of bisexuals, because we’re apparently faking or secretly in the closet.

When I first found myself out, sexually, I abhorred myself because of what my family had always said, especially my mother. I took to self harm, tried to commit suicide, and eventually was hospitalized. Every therapist said the same thing as my parents, that it was a phase.

So, when you guys submit, remember that I understand EVERYTHING you’re going through. We all have hard stories. We’ve all been put down, ignored, or chastised for being who we are. So, really, guys, I am here for you. I hate to see that I had to even make this blog, but this is how society treats people, especially people who are different. But, really, I just wanted to get that off my chest. Back to your lives :)
