"It Gets Better" - American Institute of Bisexuality

[000rosarium000]

Thanks for uploading this vid, it's very inspiring.

And I must say; THE 2ND GIRL IS THE PRETTIEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[fuzzyone91]

Im bisexual I was fighting it for years then just one day I came out and said i was bi known of my family knows and I want to keep it that way because I know they will reject me

[777FairyQueen]

I've been struggling with coming to terms with my sexual identity... This made me sob in relief. Thank you.

[TheFeminista]

We need a new term for our orientation (& not just the shortened, cutesy "bi"), like "homosexuals" did with "gay," a term that does not immediately conjure up explicit sexual connotations by having SEX right in the middle of the damn word & instead moves towards a more complete view of love & our humanity overall. Homosexual/bisexual is too closely associated with hateful bigots. When was the last time you heard a gay man or woman refer to themselves as homosexual? Yeah, that's what I thought...

[favm360]

@TheFeminista I agree, that's why I say "I'm open minded or fluid" when people ask me about my sexuality. I wish there was an official word though.

[KarateFatts]

@favm360 Don't worry about it. You know what you like and you know you got your head on straight. I'm sure they'll come to see that eventually.

[VincentTremayne]

OMGGGGGGG the first girl's hair is AMAZING

[319am1]

hollaaaa lol

[favm360]

I came out as gay 5 years ago because men are the ones who catch my attention the most. Still, I would meet a girl once in a while that would drive me horny and I would develop crushes on her. I tried talking about with friends, and they said "it's just society telling you, you have to be straight." Fuck them. Now I know I am bisexual, but every one thinks I'm having an identity crisis. I feel so alone.

[metalkevkdog]

thank you for this vid

[Killerjosh89]

im just realizing i mayb bi....its really confusing (plus i have a girlfriend)....idk wat the hell to do or think. i know my family n friends wouldnt care (gf obviously would) but idk...this just really messes with my head. i wish i was asexual sometimes lol...

[Touchdown470]

My name is Trevor. I feel happy =D

[favm360]

I'm in tears. This is how I feel like.

[MrWorldwideCitizen]

i love being bi i think we're the most open minded free people in this world

[desimc7]

just because people are attracted to other genders does not make a big deal at all....I would love to do a lot of things but it is moral for me to be loyal to my wife. Since their is other people I want to have sex with but I dont....boo hoo..I hope it doesn't get better.My god people grow up and quit acting like your problems are so special. Life is hard, it is hard to just stick with who you are even if you get turned on by someone else (even if it is a different gender).

[Tubzbuster]

I'm bisexual and I'm afraid of coming out. Because I'm afraid of how different people will treat me knowing who the different me is.

[chillpandas]

@Tubzbuster I'm sorta the same way. except I'm still trying to come to terms with being bisexual. I mean I'm pretty damn sure i am. like 95% sure. its just saying "i am" is really fricken hard for me. It's like once i admit it, there's no turning back. I'm afraid & it is the worst possible feeling.

[LoliLoli83]

My favorite video ;-)

[MultiOtherMe]

@ailingequation Well, if that's your view, please, don't spread it, because it's nothing but prejudiced rubbish

[MultiOtherMe]

@ailingequation I'm bisexual and I suffer a lot, everyday of my f*cking bisexual life. i DON'T WANT to assimilate into heteronormative society even if i'm with a person of the opposite sex. I just want to be who I am: I WILL NEVER be straight, I WILL NEVER be gay. I'm bisexual, or queer if you like, and if I ever hear someone saying again that everything's easier for me because i'm bi, I'll hit hard that person's face withouth even thinking about it. I'm sick of people like you

[willieramsey21]

@MultiOtherMe agreed!

[desimc7]

@MultiOtherMe

so!.whats your point.would this sound like a big deal to you

".my god I am straight.I am never going to be like you I am straight! I live a life e of being straight! you can never make me be gay.or bisexual.you can never make me like woman a little more than men.or men a little more than a woman..because I am straight!.do you see how this can get old. I was taught to work and have morals and i was taught to worry about right and wrong be loyal to whom your with and that is all

[desimc7]

@desimc7 so stop people..no body cares about who you like, people care about if you promised loyalty and can not own up because of your wants!!.....Real people who work until they are going to drop to take care of people like you do not even have enough time to wonder about this or that. They are to busy taking care of their obligations and promises to people they might even be a little bored with...but does that matter NO!! it doesn't because life is not easy that is what makes it special!!

[gaiboi67]

Im bisexual and this video was just so good. I am a senior in college and am still growing to love myself through some of my friends who know i am and through my christian faith. Thank you so much for this. It means a lot to know there are other people who are not specifically gay or lesbian!!!!

[OptimisticMisanthrop]

i needed this . . .i feel like bisexuality/pansexual and fluid is impossible to explain to family or friends. its really hard when even your gay friends don't get it. you just find yourself giving up sometimes and its nice to see this out there. . .THANK YOU

[Tubzbuster]

@OptimisticMisanthrop Fuck, You started me off crying again ;___;

[MsTwihard11]

(,: i needed this. STAYSTRONG.<3

[mijreed]

@ailingequation And you know this because you're bisexual and you've lived through it?

Don't be an idiot. It's like someone saying you have black friends so you know what it's like to be black.

[MetalAnimeSword]

I really hate being bisexual at times, it is like come Mario pick a team already... and I am like I so wish I could and then say wow I am this way or that way but that would make me even hate myself more because I would be a liar. I cannot take it anymore. But maybe I feeling this way because my own mom does not accept me for me. I cannot take this anymore OMG Help and she is waiting for me to get kicked out and I am now scared.

[33vampires33]

@MetalAnimeSword If your mother cannot accept you then its her loss. And you don't have to pick a damn team...and if you do pick Team Switzerland! That way your neutral. Just understand that you don't have to accept or even listen to what other people think about you. Anyway its your own opinion that counts in the end. Just don't give up...good things happen to good people.

[MegaDanie88]

i love this <33

[shaunitad]

this is beautiful..now this brought me to tears...i cant even describe the feeling i feel from seeing this..they are right..it does get better for bisexuals..i am glad we had so many examples on this video to see..i am proud to be out. thank you

[theangelkat]

"Because you feel like you have to pick a team" extremely well put. It makes me feel better to see more and more people like me and understand i am not alone :D i wish i had access to this videos 10 years behind. I know they will be a source for all new generations!

[BusbysChair17]

I'm gladt that someone finally did a bisexual version of "It gets Better".

[Sashabear40]

hey first chick, CALL ME! SOY Mujer <3 your beautiful :)

[20thPaul]

Good video!

[Patrick8200]

@ailingequation: You can hide in a hetero society, if you are in a opposite sex relationship, but you still can't be yourself without being treated worse than gays. The gay community treats us bad because they think we don't exist. Before you pass judgement, walk in my shoes

[luvbites23]

for me, it got better the day I admitted it to myself. Im so lucky to have such supportive friends and family. Except some who don't understand. "Those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind."

[Skies31]

First one is beautiful <33

[MegaNerd19]

@Skies31 yeah i agree with you on that.



[gta1halo]

what gets better? 1:39 to 1:52 xD

[MegaNerd19]

@gta1halo your life. if you come out and everyone treats you like shit and you feel suicidal they want you to know that it gets better. That's the campaign basically.

[sillykatz]

i also love how these people look like me, they are normal, they break stereotypes and i love that!

[sillykatz]

i've probably said this before, but seriously i love this video! i've been attracted to both since i was really young, i was in love with Lucy Lawless & Kevin Sorbo both! this past few days have been hard, & i've been questioning myself. i'm still bi, but i now know i'm a 4 on the Kinsey scale, at first i thought i may be lesbian (which is great for others) but i now know i was just trying to make myself fit into a box and really i don't fit in that particular one! thank you for your video!

[Majoeze]

@ailingequation it's never okay to marginalize someone's else's suffering. you don't know their lives and you don't know what they've experienced. just a statement such as "bisexuals don't need as much support as gays or lesbians" hurts me and makes me angry that you can be so presumptuous to pretend to know what it's like being bisexual if you are not and even if you are, that you have the gall to presume other people's experiences is sickening.

[MyAlice109]

Hey, my dear friends, I found a good bisexual website to share with you- datebi,com where make you feel at home.

[richardb2837]

Pshhh bi ppl

[0SimplyUnperfect0]

This was beautiful. It's so great to see a video for the B in LGBTQ. Thank you so much for this!

[midgysamurai15]

All my love to these people. To the the B in LGBT- ignore those that say bisexuality isn't real or not valid. Pity those who categorize you for their own convenience. It's a tough world out there but we have to keep fighting so we say "yes we are visible". Because we are- and we aren't going away.

[Tatsuyoujo]

Yay BI it gets better! Thank you, for this! We need more BI it gets better, for real!

[TheTray89]

from early in elementary school i was bullied (even tortured at points where i would vomit at the thought of going to school it terrified me) and called Gay and many many homophobic slurs because i never really wanted to play sports loved being around girls (irony there is delicious) thing is ive only had 2 people in my life actually ask if i was Bi everyone else suspected or asked if i was gay. which normally i replied no although in highschool i started saying well your half right. :) bi pride

[harungaga]

You know, sometimes in life, you just have to keep things to yourself. Feel no need to tell EVERYONE, maybe a close friend or something but just let everything pass by smoothly. It will all fall into place someday :)

[sillykatz]

i got up to 380 pounds had an eating disorder because i couldn't deal with my sexual feelings for both men and women, which i have equal feelings for. its nice to see people who look and act like me, i'm a normal person, and i had these gross stereotypes of what being bisexual was; all swingers, attention seekers, closet freaks! you know the drill! when i learned that this isn't true, that you can be monogamous and normal as a bisexual, i after losing 115 pds, i came out and i'm so glad i did!

[Poshmarmalade]

I'm only a young girl and no one knows I think I'm bi, not even my mum, I'm scared of what people will say or think and although this campaign is helping me to get used to the fact it isn't a fais, I still don't think that people at my school will have the level of maturity to except me for who I am, I get bullied for having short hair and if i tell people im bi too, what will people say?

[vexasaurus]

@ailingequation gays and lesbians get hate from the straight community, bisexuals get hate from both the straight AND gay communities. We have it no more or no less as hard as gay people. So that is utter bullshit.

[NotSoStraightGirl]

@ailingequation Fair enoughh :)

[NotSoStraightGirl]

@ailingequation I never said that you have no sympathy I'm just saying some of us really do need support and you make it sound like we don't and It's not any easier for us we still have to deal with the whole coming out thing even worse people think were just curious most of the time or think were faking it or think we fuck anything that moves So I find what you said was simply not true and By the way I live in canada... Thanks for hearing me out :)

[NotSoStraightGirl]

@ailingequation That is such a lie..

[sillykatz]

its nice to see people who are just like me and bisexual. a lot of people think bisexual means promiscuous or non monogamous and that is not true. we are normal people, we are just like you, we just happen to know that we can love a man or a woman, that does not mean we can or do love them at the same time!

[MYheroMJrip]

after a while it sounds like they are saying "eat guess butter" 

[chrystalxxxoella]

im bisexual, and im proud of it, it my life, not theres.

the hardest part of it is, they dont understand wat it means to be bi.

[HumanDichotomy]

This is a great video. I'm bi, and I struggle with it a lot sometimes, because I feel like I don't fit in either the gay or straight communities. Stories like this make me feel much less alone. Thank you! :D

[hardToSignUpHere]

is it me just me - the first girl talking is quite cute

[disney1nickjluvr45]

@hardToSignUpHere it's not just you!

[MetalAnimeSword]

@hardToSignUpHere I think we are all cute!!!

[lonelygurl8305]

Great video! Bisexuality is something that people are still trying to understand.

[shmarie15]

Thanks for the video.. I am finally coming out to people at school and work that i'm bi. and my life is already changing for the better.. besides my home situation; i'm still not able to tell my family... but like you all said, "it gets better" so that is what i am hoping for my life. Taking every step at a time. Thanks alot!

[richardb2837]

I dont think there is a "bi". Just straight or gay....

[goldenxspirit]

@richardb2837 Then why do I like men and women?

[hardToSignUpHere]

@richardb2837 there are people anywhere in between in the spectrum between gay and straight. most people a closer to one pole…

also having said that i knew people who said they were bi but in fact they were just scared to come out!

[hardToSignUpHere]

@richardb2837 there are people anywhere in between in the gay/straight spectrum; most people closer to one of the pole…

also having said that i knew people who said they were bi but weren't, perhaps just were scared to come out!

[blainebill39]

@AIBvideos

Ciao!

It's remarkably encouraging to view authentic testimonials from LGBT people! I just cannot help but be struck at what a different world it is, from the one a boy I once loved(Bobby Griffith/Prayers for Bobby)and I , tried desperately to navigate through!

Grazie!

Blaine

[igoralbrechtiii]

Im gay myself, but THANKS :)

[SilviaDee77]

Hey there! Thanks from spain! I still feel quite lonely sometimes, like playing to different roles and showing just half of myself depending on the "social team" of friends i spend my time with, i felt "double" discriminated if thats even possible. Its nice to feel somebody is out there feeling the sane. Gracias

[mayerbrandon24]

thank you, thank you * 1000000000.......... there could never be a better timing for me to watch this video. even though my gay and straight friends know Im bi they just dont understand when I tell them i feel lonely. or I struggle. this video helps. it does get better. but we need to do something about it. specially us bisexuals.

[luckypapi87]

@mayerbrandon24 why do u feel lonely?..if they are still ur friends and havent abandoned u then ur not that alone as u think..u may feel alone..but theres plenty of bi people out there theres a community of them.. u can reach out...plus if the staright/gay ppl u meet arent against u harshly...then no need to fear..

[Edward80109]

I've been attracted to both sexes since 7th but I didin't come to terms with it until I was 20 because I always heard that bisexuals just couldn't make up their minds and needed to pick a side so I pushed my attraction towards women out of my mind but recently I realized it's ok that I like both and that it isn't a phase. Thank you for this video I love that bisexuals are becoming more visible now!!

[xputonahappyfacex]

I love this video <3 :]



[drummerchick435]

Thank you for this! I'm bisexual, and, although I have a decent support group of friends, my family doesn't understand it. Bisexuality exists!

[drummerchick435]

Thank you for this! I'm bisexual, and, although I have a decent support group of friends, my family doesn't understand it. Bisexuality exists!

[trumpetergoat]

Thank you for this. A don't care how many hate comments I get. This made me cry. It is just what I needed to hear because right now as a teenager I have a hard time seeing it getting better. Thank you.

[luckypapi87]

@trumpetergoat why?..r u bi urself?

[trumpetergoat]

@luckypapi87 Yes I am. And at that point in my life when I wrote this I had felt that I would never be accepted by any male or female and that there was no hope. I had started being rejected by my friends and started going into a very dark place in my life. Seeing this video was one of major events in my life that actually stopped me from taking my own life by giving me a little bit of hope and making me realize that there was a chance for my own happiness.

[luckypapi87]

@trumpetergoat i guess those friends of urs werent really ur friends..so forget them and let them go..if they cant accept u its their loss..not urs..and dont ever take ur life..the afterlife will be 100 times worse and the pain will be even worse..dont quit or give up..just be u..are u a male or female bisexual person?..i love bi girls lmao..my dream is to have two bi gfs..so if u think that theres plenty of people out the4re that hate the bisexual community.theres the opposite side too

[woodelf5]

I'm so happy that they finally acknowledged bisexuals. Thank you! :)

[macflecknow]

Great way to fill a shameful gap in Savage's proposal of aspirational white middle class gay maleness modeled after normativized conventional heterosexuality.

[psushgirl]

i love this video! thanks for posting it!

fave quote: "it takes courage to grow up to be the person you were meant to be."

def worth sharing EVERYWHERE :)

[ILUSMProductions]

Great PSA! So excited to be in it and a part of this!

[rayschielphotography]

Well done. Nice job everyone.

[christopher631]

Thank you all who participated in this video, it made me cry! I feel better :)

[cocodivinediva]

Thank you AIB for this video! I, too (at 31 years old) still feel misunderstood by members of the lesbian and gay community and the straight community. Outreach like this for us and by us, unfortunately, is still necessary. Great video and keep up the great work :)

[Schmurxzl]

It is an excellent thing that bisexuals get a video in this "It Gets Better" campaign. Kudos to the AIB and to all people that got involved in the making of this clip !

[MageIanBorthwick]

This is a really necessary video. I hope one day people understand us better.

[MediaETurner]

@MageIanBorthwick completely agree with you!

[lordlnyc]

wonderful!
