When I told my mom I was bisexual, she cried her eyes out, told me I was gay, and then told my whole family despite my protests. A year later today, she still asks me if I’m bi, saying “it’s just a phase.” She also plays up the stereotype of I’m interested in any guy friend I have. It’s so fucking annoying. You can’t treat human beings’ feelings like they’re something trivial, they do have an effect.
