You believe your experience (or coming) is/was harder, but honestly you don't know that Have you ever heard of someone being beat up or kicked out their home or being fired for being bisexual? Yes. Not fired from their job, but being beat up and kicked out, yes. Not as often as a gay person only because bi's don't really have to come out as teenagers the way gays feel they have too in adolesence (sp?) | |

It's just that if I don't hear about something happening, it must not be happening at all. Keeps my mind at ease. You know, ignorance is bliss and all that. I've never heard of bisexuals being beat up or anything like that. Lance is SO a bottom | |

I've never heard of bisexuals being beat up or anything like that. Well, I've never heard of a friend, family member or parent being more at ease that someone is bi rather than gay. There attitude is pretty much the same. Just because you don;t hear about it doesn't mean it's not happening. Most bi's are in the closet because of unacceptance. If I knew you, I would be afraid to tell you about my bi experience because of your comments on this thread | |

If you ask around, a lot of parents would tell you that they'd rather their child be bisexual than gay. Hell, the night I came out to my mom, that's the first thing she asked me, and I gave her a quick and prompt "NO." Lance is SO a bottom | |

Everyone's experience is different and unless you are in their exact shoes, you really have no idea how it is for them. It's best to just talk about your own experiences. Yup  | |

Oh yeah because it's SOOOOO hard being bisexual. Well...when you have people assuming that because you are bi, it means that you automaticly think you can have "one of each" and thus are a petri dish for whatever is out there, and you have parents who just assume that because you are bi, you can "act str8" when they want you too, and you have gay people allways telling you that you just need to make up your damn mind one way or the other (when you already HAVE, duh), and there are people who still wanna beat the shit outta you just cuz you're queer in general. Then, yeah...it is hard. | |
