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.

People who pick apart my bisexuality make me feel like a fraud too sometimes. It doesn't help that I have OCD and mull over those accusations far more than they deserve.

I think I'm just a lot better at not giving a toss than you. I wish it was a teachable skill.

I used to not give a toss a lot more when I was younger. I sometimes wonder what happened...

[miss_s_b]

People happened. They do that.
