Oh, wow! I really really apologize for my prickly response. I’m just kind of defensive about it because i have gotten a lot of heat for it.

It’s hard. Especially being in a heterosexual relationship. Thankfully, my boyfriend right now is extremely supportive and open minded. But I’ve received flack from both genders about being bisexual and it’s really frustrating. A lot of people discount me because of my relationship with a guy. The worst is the idea that some people have that since I’m with a guy my feelings for women or about women don’t count anymore, or that I’m suddenly straight.

As easy as it would be for me to fall under the radar and quietly feign straightness, I’m open and proud about it. It’s very painful to keep your feelings inside, especially when you’re hiding them from someone you’re dating. I’m sorry to hear that you’ve lost someone, especially because of something like that.

I hope some of these words resonate. Thank you for your compliments, and I really hope that you find the courage to figure out your feelings and hopefully find a partner that will respect you as well. :)

Yes, quite a few times. Until I moved to college, I had slept with more girls than guys. I kind of get the feeling you’re insinuating I’m pretending to like girls to be cool which is really insulting. Even if I’ve never slept with anyone, I think I know my own sexuality better than you.
