National Coming Out Day

[miss_s_b]

I don't think I have ever officially come out as bi. There ought to be some sort of ceremony or something, with respect to David's eloquent opinions. Instead it's just been casually dropped into enough conversations that word got around and now everyone knows. To be honest, I feel like kind of a fraud even typing this. I'm cisgendered, I'm in a very happy and committed (albeit open) heterosexual relationship, both of which facts allow me to pass for normal to anyone who doesn't want to scratch below the surface (and most people don't). Therefore I have never faced the kind of bald prejudice that a lot of my gay, or bi-but-in-same-sex-relationship, or trans friends have. I am comfortable in my sexuality, and most people who I spend time with (including customers in the pub, to my somewhat-surprise) don't seem bothered at all; or at least, if they are, they don't show it in front of me.

If only everyone had it as easy as I have.

I'll continue to try to do my bit to make sure that one day, everyone will.

If anyone is surprised at you coming out as bi, well, was it not THAT bloody obvious XD

I'm a 'haven't a clue' - I like the men, but have crushed on a few girls in my time (subsconsciously as well it seems - long story) yet I can't really deem my self as 'straight' or 'bi' - I', just 'me'

For the record, I rank myself at 2 on the Kinsey scale. I fancy lots more men than girls. But being comfortable being yourself is the best that any of us can hope for, I think.

I couldn't agree more. Sadly some people just love to make it their business of making you uncomfortable.
