"Hi, Mom." -- National Coming Out Day 2009

It's National Coming Out Week, since National Coming Out Day was Sunday. I had a talk with my mom yesterday. This is just to say, "Hey... this happened."

I have a question for you. Have you ever gotten people saying you were just "faking" being bi just for attention? I've known I was bi sexual since 7th grade and when I told my mom in my sophomore year she kicked me out =[ But there was a gay kid in my school who found out I was bi and he came up to me and said that bi was just an act, and it really isn't. I just always wonder what the gays and lesbians feel towards bi sexuals. Thanks for reading this if you did, and blessed be! <3 Luna

@MsLunaSpirit Hah, yeah, there are still some people who think bisexuality is just a stepping stone to coming out as gay. But I'm romantically and sexually attracted to both binary genders, so I'd say that makes me bi. Most people I know in person say it's a phase, but I have seen people posting online about how they think it's fake. I've never had that said to my face or to me directly online, thank goodness.

But I sometimes like thinking we are mythical creatures. Like unicorns.

Wow thats amazing that you were able to do that Im wiccan and bisexual too and I came out with both on the same day and unfortunially when I did come out that to my parents my step dad didnt even say anything and my mom held a cross to my forehead and commanded the demons out of me so ya mine not so good but ya now we dont really talk about it anymore and we are not close as we were at one point so ya but now everyone acts like nothing happened so gl to everyone else

[cutewitch772]

@hiscelticprincess Wow, that's intense. My mom also doesn't like to talk about it to this day. She says she's okay with it but she still doesn't really believe it and harbors all sorts of stereotypes and assumptions about it. Meh. What can we do, right?

[hiscelticprincess]

@cutewitch772 exactly not much you can do it is what it is and you feel the way you feel
