I draw, sing and write! :D
My last 2 relationships didn’t end well, but someone can make me forget! (:
Come say hi and follow if you like!~
My name’s Jenn and Im bisexual. This is a pic of my gay best friend and I. Truly representing the LGBT community c; hit me up?
As a bisexual person, I go through a lot of daily grievances with stupid people. I’m about to say some things that they need to get through their heads (warning: it’s pretty long lol)
Every time someone asks me for my coming out story, I say this-
I had a crush on another girl. I was attracted to her. I was pretty sure I was a lesbian at that point. Then I went on a date with a guy and was attracted to him. Then I realized I was bisexual. they are just like “That’s it? That’s all that happened?”
Yeah, that’s it. I wasn’t bullied or tortured. I wasn’t judged or kicked out of the house by my parents. I wasn’t told to go seek God. It was simple as that. That doesn’t make my story and sexuality any less valid. I’m sorry that I don’t have this huge saga of how I was bullied or how I spent forever coming to terms with my sexuality, it was simple. I understand that happens to a lot of other members of the LGBT community, but just because that wasn’t my experience, that doesn’t make it less valid.
Currently, I’m dating a guy, and I get questions like “So, you’re straight now?”
It pisses me off, because people can’t recognize that dating a guy doesn’t make me any less bisexual. It doesn’t mean that I’m straight and that I’m quitting off women forever, it means that I am dating a guy.
Last thing I’m gonna say. We went on a class trip to another country and we visited one of the high schools in that country. My bf tells me that if I hook up with one of the high school girls, it’s okay and it’s not cheating. I was very annoyed and pissed off by this, and when I told my guy friend about it, he said-
“He’s right, you know. I would’ve said the same thing. In fact, I would’ve asked for a video”
I didn’t talk to him for a week after that.
I don’t know why society casts us as flip-floppy, emotionally damaged sex toys made for straight men’s entertainment. But all I know is that this needs to stop. I’m only 17 and it didn’t take me long to notice/get angry. Things need to change.
