@@unicornsanddinosaurs3681 well with me my WHOLE family dosent approve of gays or anyone lgbtq+ bc theyve all complained about lgbtq+ people to me without knowing im bi
My best friend was the first person I came out to, her immediate reaction? “You don’t have a crush on me right?” “No! You’re like my sister!” She accepted that real quick her mom on the other hand? Her mom doesn’t know my sexuality nor does she need to but she is 90% sure I’m gay her daughters gay and that means we’re dating??? Like no??
"you're just doing it for attention" I have social anxiety. I do nothing for attention. That's why I didn't come out until 10 years after I realized I was not Heterosexual
I told my Friends and they reacted normal and they asked normal questions. Since I came out to my friends, one of them are confused about her sexuality and I'm helping her with ir
I came out as bi just a couple weeks ago, and the weirdest thing was that no one really reacted. Like sure, my mom said a joke about it but that was?? All?? None of the other people (my dad, sister & a couple friends) even said a word.. My best friend's reaction was "aha" before she went on about her ex.. Like, isn't there supposed to be at least something like a "we accept you" or even just an "ok cool"? Am I doing this for attention? Now i feel like I am. Feck 😳😳
I had a girl next to me in English, after me telling her about my girlfriend, say "I had too much drama with girls, that's why I stopped being bi." And I, a bi person, was like "that's???? Not How It Works?????"
Omgsh the same kinda tjing happened to me !! I came out to my friend and she was so serious whenn she said this "*deep breath* yknow i used be bi" i was like "girl, you cant walk away from you sexuality dude" bruh how can you just STOP being bi like ???????
I'm a closeted bisexual. One day my mom made a cake where one half was chocolate and the other half was cream. And cut this cake in pieces. I asked myself for a piece with both parts saying "I take the best from both sides" Looks like coming out failed.
Пепе Килджой you could made a pink, blue and purple cake. Or put those color toppings, and choose a slice of each of them, or checkered bi colors I dunno, your choice
Awesome Pet even tho I'm gay I wish people would stop labeling people and make them choose sides or descriminate because it's wrong to do that to other human beings and I think everything that is good should be respected and people in the LGBT+ should stop descriminating other LGBT people because we as a community sometimes get hate, so why should we hate on each other, I'm sorry if I'm ranting I just hate, hate in general.
When you say you're whatever and then they think you're attracted to them, especially the more bigoted people. I now just respond with, "I wouldn't date you. I have standards and self-respect."
To put it bluntly with that last question: it doesn’t suck being bi, it sucks being surrounded by people who are biphobic and won’t bother to understand it.
@@randomk7198 You'd really be surprised how little people can understand it. Even when its explained there's still morons who say "its just a faze" ext, people in the LGBTQ still don't accept us, christ one of my dad's friends think its the same as gender fluidity.
Oh I understand it. I just think it is gross. Like how I think people who are into bestiality are gross. You can't help who or what you like...but we dont have to accept your views.
@@depurasangre86 false equivalence you got there. You yourself are more perverted than you're insinuating bisexuality itself is with that mindset..Via ignorance..I'm not even Bi myself and it doesn't confuse or disgust me. Educate yourself & grow up.
i had a crush on this guy and he wouldn’t date me cause i was “too gay” because i also liked girls. a couple years later i had a crush on this girl who wouldn’t date me because she thought i was “a wannabe gay”. it sucks.
One girl from my class once told me, that I can't change in the girls locker room, beacause I like girls. So I asked "Where should I change then?" And she was like "In the boys locker room" And I was like "But I like boys as well" And then she was like "But you can't like both" And I was so done with that shit, that I didn't change at all for the next year, and got bad grade from PE.
Yo! I came out to my PE class and they started getting super paranoid, and anytime I would glance at the for a second, they would literally say, "stop staring at me! Lesbo!" I'm like: "I'm not a lesbo, I like boys to ya know, and just because I like girls doesn't mean I like you. You don't like every guy in this school, why would I like every girl?"
Natasha Longley when you've been denied the other set of genitals for years and years. You'll eventually cheat. Bisexuality means you are attracted to #crave sex with both sets of genitals eventuality you will want the other. And most people are not ok with having a third person on the bedroom so you'll eventually cheat out of sheer sexual frustration.
Ruhe1986 Your argument can apply for straight or gay people as well. Eventually you can get tired of the same pair of genitals you've been having sex with and you'll desire someone else of the same gender. But that's not the case necessarily, why? Because most people respect themselves and have morals and aren't driven by sex ffs. Being bisexual means you like both men and women, it makes you openminded not hornier.
soraji- and unfortunately there are more that are driven by sex than you think. And it's an unfortunate reality that there are body parts I don't have that a bisexual person will eventually crave and not be able to get in any way shape or form other than cheating with me.
People be like: Oh how are you bi when you havent even dated both yet? Me: Well Samantha........how did you know you were straight when you never dated a dude before?
As a bisexual I really had trouble with my friends. And dating, some gay girls refuse to date bisexual women, some guys feel they can do whatever with me just because they think ‘because I’m up for dating women as well’ Respect the B in LGBT
My mom accepted the fact I liked the same gender, but she kept asking which one, and she wouldnt accept both so I was forced to choose one so she would piss off
Me: *is a bi female* Me: *comes out as bi* Me: You know that bi means I like guys and girls, right? Friend: yes. Me: And you understand that, right? Friend: yes. Me: And you’re okay with that, right? Friend: yes. Me: *gets a boyfriend* Friend: *WaIt I tHoUgHt YoU wErE bIsExUaL*
Maybe something unlogical like in the mangas will happen and somehow you turn the straight person gay JK it wont happen in real life but I wish it did then love troubles would go away
A friend of mine thought being bisexual meant you have a girlfriend and a boyfriend at the same time. When my brother found out I was bisexual he forbid me from being alone with his girlfriend at any one time. Never mind that she wasn't my type, why do straight people assume that you fancy anything with a pulse just because you're bi?
Omg I am so lucky with my friends, after I came out to them they were super cool with it. With family, well...they are homophobic and basically everything that's not straight phobic so I didn't come out
Dee Gee no, just straight people in general - my male and female coworkers were equally confused as to how I could be bisexual and married to a man; one woman asked how women even had sex with each other (I would point out that there was more to sexual pleasure than penetration), and the men were unsurprised that my husband didn't mind me swinging both ways, though one was unsure how he would react if his missus came out as being bi. The funniest one was my best friend in college, who constantly asked "but you don't fancy me, right?" to the point where I eventually did start to fancy her.
im Kindaproblematic But the thing is many gay people come out as bi at first. Somehow they find it easier, at least in my generation it was like that. My best friend said to me she was bi even though she already knew I was gay. She even made out with some boys. A year later of so she admited she was lesbian. I dated a lot of "bi" guys in my younger years. They didn't want to put the "gay" label on themselves, but with time they ended up doing so. It came to a point that I thought that bisexuality didn't exist. One woman told me she was bisexual, and i was really wasted that night so I bluntly replied "bisexuality doesn't exist", and she got so mad lol. To this day, i've still never met a bisexual person that doesn't end up being actually gay. I don't deny the existence of bisexuality, but I think the "it's just a phase" thing is not unreasonable given the circumstances.
Legit when I came out to my mother about being bi, the first thing that came out of her mouth was "So you want to date me? So you want to date your grandmother?" And just remember crying for a long time that night because she literally thought I would just date anything that was female. She would always downplay my relationships from that point forward because "but you're dating a guy! So you're not a lesbian." Even now in my wonderful relationship, I'm apparently "straight" and have "come out of a bisexual phase." A similar thing happened with my Step-Grandmother when I gently came out to her at 17 about being bi but she instantly said "No! You're either gay or you're straight, being bi is just greedy. You're either one or the other." I didn't sleep that night because I was crying so hard. Parents and relatives of Bisexual/Biromantic children/relatives please just take them at face value. If they say how they feel, it means they trust you enough to tell you in the first place. If you love them enough, then please please please don't yell or tell them they are wrong or assume anything. If it's an experiment, they will likely tell you they are experimenting, you don't have to tell them they are. If you love them, tell them you love them. Try to learn about bisexuality and get your information straight from the bisexual community. Hell, get your information from the LGBTQ+ community, because your family member will appreciate it and will trust you more in the future. If you are a family member learning about bisexuality and LGBTQ+ through this video, thank you. Knowledge is a wonderful thing and to learn more about us will always be appreciated. Have a lovely day. :)
I am a male, and I have a girlfriend. When I'd tell people that they'd say "But I thought you were bi?" wtf? You literally just answered your own question.
That is SOOOO true! Everyone in my family is rejoiced at the fact that I am now dating a male and that I am all of a sudden "straight" sorry, but I am *still* bi, as much as you'd hate to accept that. Jeez.
OKAY SAME. Currently dating a guy, and I love him, but I have definitely had some female interests.. and since people know that, they think it's weird that I'm with a guy. l m a o
Wasteful Girl So true though!!! Like, oh, do you like everyone? No, you have a type or certain traits in a person you like not just any girl or guy walking down the street
"Just because I'm bi doesn't mean I'll sleep with literally anyone. I mean, I will, but more because of my daddy issues than my being bi" -quote from a bisexual friend
I know right! When people hear that you're bi, they're like, "So are you just attracted to everyone?" Well, you're straight, right? Are you attracted to every guy? No! You're not! So why should I be?
I'm bisexual. And the one comment I'm starting to get a lot is "I thought you were gay because you hang out with dudes" and "I thought you were gay because of how you dress". I've always been a tomboy my whole life. Never been comfortable in dresses always preferred jeans and tshirts. So because of this,people that don't get to know me just assume I'm a butch lesbian lol. I find it funny that how I decide to dress should somehow determine my sexuality. There are very girly dressing bisexual women but no one assumes they are gay. So why should who I hang out with and what I feel comfortable wearing have anything to do with who I love? I just never understood that logic.
coexisting vlogs EXACTLY. It's like a stigma that you are either not gay enough or not straight enough to be Bi. It's annoying as fuck and it needs to stop.
i'm bi too, with a prefercence for girls. i dress my self in a very feminine way, i always get told that i am straight. like tf no just cause i wear dresses and a lot of makeup and like to do my hear doesn't mean i am hetero?
Breyana You are basically me most of my friends are guys and I've always hated wearing dresses and skirts and shorts I'm always wearing either ripped jeans skinny jeans and t-shirts even in the summer.
I GET SO ASHAMED THE WHOLE TIME BECAUSE OF THIS AND I SHOULDN'T BECAUSE I'M JUST BI, I'M NOT IN LOVE WITH YOU, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING.
Oml storytime: So, in school, I drew an LGBTQ flag on my arm because I was bored, and I didn't think much of it. Later, when I went outside with my friends, one of em said "Dude are you gay?" as a joke, which I was extremely annoyed about, and I said "Yes." (Note that I'm bisexual and closeted, so I just said I was gay bc I assumed my friends dunno what Bi meant) She INSTANTLY BACKED AWAY FROM ME. I hope it was merely a joke, but still, that hurt bro, like being gay/bi etc isn't like a disease T^T
Oof that reminds me of one time that my friend was playing with my arm and she misheard say that I liked a girl and she immediately let go of my arm and backed away. That hurt a lot.
I wonder if men feel like this, I usually avoid touching them entirely 😰 So thank you for sharing your experience, it helps us straights understand how not to hurt you better!
Literally I told my friend I was bisexual and they were like do you have a crush on me? I was like I have certain type just like all of you! just because I’m bisexual doesn’t mean I like everyone in the world!
Yes. I came out as gay to my best friend and that same thing happened. Me: I'm gay. Him: We can be friends just as long as you don't come onto me. Me: DUDE! I have a certain type...and you ain't it.
I’m straight but my friend told me the same thing whenever she tells someone she’s bi they always assume she likes them are bisexuals not allowed to have types ?😂
You exist Your not a going through a phase Your not doing this for attention You don’t have to pick one or the other Your not confused You may find one gender more attractive than others. But that doesn’t make you any less bisexual. I’m bisexual too. Let’s make this year our year! Have a great 20BiTeen everybody!!
This one time a dude from my math class came up to me asking me to the upcoming prom, I said no. He said, "Why? Are you lesbian or something?" I said "No I'm bi." he says "Ok. I changed my mind. Don't wanna be cheated on."
A phase? This phase has lasted almost two decades. But seriously I told one guy that I was bi and he instantly stopped talking to me, I was just being honest. Do I ever wish I wasn't bi? No, I feel more comfortable being bi than anything else
My aunt thinks I dunno what I’m talking about when I told her I was pan and then I sorta came out to her about me being trans, she thinks it’s a phase and it’s been 6-7 years
What's sad is that she's not "both straight and a lesbian" she's entirely bi, so they're right, she can't be both, but being bi ISN'T being both, it's just being entirely bi! *sigh*
Actually yes, my best friend at the time thought that I was totally going to have sex with her. Never happened so I don't see what she was so worked up about.
Not exactly that problem. I rarely dare to tell anyone because I'm afraid they might think that. (Or think that I'm actually homosexual and are lying.)
Ali Reed oh gawd a lot, I came out to my friends on National coming out Day and they over reacted.....”OMG IM SCARED DON’T RAPE ME” “You’re just saying that to scare us because we had sex-ed” “Wait......are you thinking about having sex with me!?..... Eww” “......You’re gonna rape us one day” Smh smh 🙄 after I came out to my family I’m done coming out to peeps. But my family was very supportive since my Aunty is Transgender 💗
They forgot “so do you want a threesome?” I made the mistake of telling my bf I *might* be bi and now he keeps hinting at threesomes. It’s driving me insane and reminding me of why I don’t like men as much as I did when I was a naive high schooler.
Being a guy I feel sorry you have to experience this. Funnily enough I've had it the other way around back when I was "just" straight and told my bisexual girlfriend back then I was ok with her having sex with women as long as it's not behind my back. She actually understood it as me asking for a threesome at first.
things I hear/see as a bisexual woman: "but you're in a relationship with a guy, right?" "but how do you get...you know...your uh...fix? with girls?" *predatory male stare* "so you like threesomes?" "no you're not" *that girl who thinks you're going to pounce on her immediately after finding out you're bi* "you're giving us(lesbians) a bad name" "I bet I can turn you straight/gay for good" "how are you going to get married?" "I was bi once too! I kissed my best friend at a party on a dare!" "so you're half gay then yeah?" "so you're half straight then yeah?" "gal pals"
My friend and I were having a conversation once and somehow we both ended up telling each other how we were bisexual and I was just like "bi-five?" and after that we died of laughter and still do every time we do it
alex I have a huge crush on this one girl, and she knows it so whenever she asks my opinion on something she did/how she looks, etc. I give my answer and say “but idk, I’m probably bi-ased”
"It's just a phase" this one pissed me off, like oh my god... I am currently 13 going on 14 and I hear this *So much* it's not even funny! Like it's not a phase! Not everything that happens while in your teen years is a phase!
True. And the thing is: even if it turns out to be a 'phase'... where would be the problem with that?? No need to make people feel bad. If a gay peep is unsure and thinks they miiiight be bi, just to find out they're not? Not a bad thing either. I'm 26, out for years, still get that comment. Just ask them if they ever had sex with the same gender, and if they haven't (which, ofc, most biphobes havent)... ask them how they can be sure that they are not bi if they neve had 'gay-sex'. They will GET SO MAD lol
@@TheSpiceMoth my grandma is so confused 'cause l recently cut my hair and gave so many red flags about being trans, but she's just like "but you're a girl" that pisses me off 😑
@@MrsTold Same but I have not come out yet. I figured out I was bisexual at 14 and am now 15. Trust me I know for sure I am bisexual. I told my friends but not anyone else and it turns out one of them is bisexual too.
When I was in like sixth or seventh grade I was questioning and sort of decided that, yeah, I in fact do like girls, and my longest relationship ever has been with a girl, so for a while during my freshman year I was mostly dating boys so I was even beginning to doubt my own sexuality until I moved and I met this reallllyyy beautiful girl so yeah, pretty sure I still like girls too and its not a phase ya get me homie
Telling someone in a relationship you’re bisexual and having them stop talking to you because the guy thinks you’re going to flirt with him and the girl thinks you’re going to flirt with her while at the same time they both think you are going to flirt with their partner behind their back. UGH!
I am not bi, but I hate it when people say that bi people are transphobic because being bi indicates there are two genders. An orientation that you have no control over is not transphobic.
No, bisexuality is an attraction to the typically binary sexes: males and females. Gender is different to sex. I consider myself to be bisexual panromantic because I am sexually attracted to both male and female bodies (as well as intersex, because they are usually a combination of both), and because gender is not a binary thing, hence the pan meaning all. I agree that being bi doesn’t automatically make them transphobic, because regardless of body parts, what matters is their heart.
Bisexual means 'attracted to 2 or more genders' and has been around way longer than pansexual etc. We're not transphobic, we do not have problems with nb-people. If a bi person has a preference.... still not a horrible thing. People just love to hate us :/
Bi nonbinary person here! To say bisexuaity is inherently transphobic is in itself biphobic AND transphobic. Trans men and trans women are still men and women. (So to say someone is pan, not bi, because they also like trans people is treating trans people like a third thing when they're not). The purple stripe on the bi flag represents attraction to nonbinary genders as well as a mix of male and female (so to say bisexuals are enbyphobic is just untrue. I'm a bi enby. Am I enbyphobic?) to any accidental Biphobes reading this: Do not minimize the definition of bisexuality just because pansexuality exists and overlaps. Both bi and pan people can be transphobic. But neither sexuality is inherently
I just tell them that whatever has a dick and whatever has a pussy will do, so many trans people freeze up when I reply with that statement. I also prefer my men pussyless, and my ladies dickless
I laugh at myself when I used to say "I just really support the LGBTQ+ community" like no honey, you're in love with your girl best friend and are 110% bisexual, just admit it 😂
ellice tytler Well first off im bi and it seems more like a community only for librels and only they can speak for "acceptance". Also they spead alot of hate towards Christians ,straight people, and conservatives. Its overall a toxic community in my view
The thing I hate is when people tell me I'm straight because I'm currently in a straight relationship.... But I'm still bisexual.... Then when I date a girl I'm automatically a lesbian and must hate men er something.... Like no, I'm still bisexual, doesn't matter what gender I date, still bi 😂
@@kylesimpson3669 wow...i-this comment is just👌👌👌 Thank you for making me feel grateful I didn't form beliefs like this and I could have turned out WAY worse
FyreBal I hope you don't stay that way forever hun. With all the crap I've caught being openly me in a tiny southern town, I wouldn't undo nuking my closet for the world. My real friends didn't care and it was a huge burden off me that I didn't realize I had until it was gone. Any that bolt just make room for ones that like the real you. I'm not saying to do it tomorrow, just eventually.
I don't have children or a husband. maybe i don't want them. maybe I want a wife. maybe I want a wife and kids. or maybe I do want a husband, with or without children. either way, it's not your right to tell me that.
I have a boyfriend and when I tell people that I'm bi they sometimes say things like "but don't u have a boyfriend?" or sometimes they don't even believe me
Same! Im bi and Im in a relationship with a man and we are going to get married..so its really confusing to people when I say Im bi. Like, my sexuality doesnt change just because Im in a long term relationship with someone that happens to be of the opposite gender
I'm getting married to a man and had to explain to my mum that I'm still bisexual 😂 just because I'm in love with my boyfriend doesn't mean I'm not attracted to women as well anymore 😂
Coveralic i mean, tenchinicaly speaking its a correct sentence. Normal is another world for majority or most of. And you guessed it, most of the population is straight, so, half gay half normal is a correct sentence. Did you go to school?
The Cringe that's just stupid. That's like saying that people that have curly hair aren't normal. That natural blondes aren't normal. That blue eyed people aren't normal. It doesn't work like that.
Well, what the percentage of people with curly hair? Whats the percentage of people with blond hair? Is there a chart you can show me? If all the percentiles are similar then they would all be considered normal varieties of hair/eyes [EDIT] The point is was making is that something like only 1.6% (last I checked) of the population is bisexual. That's not anywhere near the percentage of straight people ergo not normal, not saying not being normal is a bad thing, but it's not normal. Its not usual, its not average.
For example, let's use America, from what I can tell, 5.2% of the population is gay, If 5.2% of your hair was green, is that your normal hair color? No, your hair color would be for example, brown. Green is an anomaly. Technically it shouldn't be there. But that doesn't make it a bad thing, hell if a small bit of my hair were green, that would be quite neat, you know. A defining feature! It's not a bad thing! Everyone needs to stop thinking that, 'Not normal = Bad' That's not how that works. you're giving "not normal" a bad reputation, stop oppressing the phrase "not normal". You're being rude and you're making it feel bad.
My daughter is bi and first came out as a lesbian. She’s had some stupid things said to her, totally uncalled for comments. I feel so protective over her, I just want her to be happy and loved by whoever she’s seeing ❤️
"If you're bisexual, why do you dress so girly?" Bruh???? Is dressing up a specific way identifies your gender? My cousins mock me that "Im faking" just because I dress so girly.
You should tell people. It makes you feel much better. At least for me. I have depression so I'm dealing with that, but coming out to my friends made things feel better.
I’m bisexual and I remember I was dating a guy at the time and someone says to me “if you’re bi why don’t you go date a girl” and my response was “let’s say the guy I’m dating is a cookie and all other females are cake, right now I have craving for the cookie more so than cake at the moment”
Rose Lily if they treat me good and respect me then that’s the sweet I’m craving 😋 I don’t really have a preference just be a good partner for me and I want ya . Short and sweet 😜
people actually do, though. biphobia in particular happens among LGBTQ people- i don't think i've ever been in a LGBTQ space without someone or other having something negative to say about bi people, about how they're just straight people experimenting or trying to be cool, or just gay people who are too scared to go all the way... so there's both hate from homophobic straight people, and hate from our own communities (although, obviously, not everyone is like that). it really is a dealbreaker for some people as well
not to be overly personal, but are you a bisexual person? because just about every other bisexual person i've spoken to has had similar experiences to what's being spoken about here- being stereotyped as unfaithful, indecisive, just wanting attention, etc, or being made to feel left out of LGBTQ communities, and I would be surprised if many bisexual people would say that wasn't the case. it isn't really a small minority at all. I agree people could do with being less sensitive and easily offended, but that has little to do with actually ostracizing people from a community- that isn't something that's offensive but you can brush off, it's something that actually majorly impacts peoples' lives
Chi Colborne i am but i dont really hang around large groups of people and i dont go to lgbtq events or clubs. i sit at home on weekends and i work way to much overtime during the week.
But can you see how for people who spend more time with others and make their social life a high priority (which is often essential for some LGBTQ people, that sense of community) feeling ostracized from that or having that experience made negative (as well as all the day-to-day standard homophobia from straight people) it could be really hard? I'm not much of a social butterfly either but I feel like i would be much more connected with the community if there hadn't been negativity there- when I actually have reached out that's when I realize how much biphobia is a real thing
Ok so I only came out as bi last year at the ripe old age of 40 and no I'm not having a midlife crisis!!!!!!!!!!!!! The first person I had feelings for was a girl/woman when I was around 15 but I always wanted to be a wife and mum and in those days the only way you could do that was with a guy so I thought "well I like them too so ok!" and also the parents were old school and although things like that were never discussed I certainly knew where my mum stood 😒! However when I came out to one of my friends last year (who I've known since we were 5) she told me she remembered her mum telling her, when were early 20s, that my mum said she had suspicions I could be ........................ queer! I nearly fell over!!!! My mum died 13 years ago so will never be able to tell/ask her. 😢 I am not a wife or mum, and the way I'm going never will be, so I thought "fuck it I'm gonna die being me" so that's why I finally came out! I still haven't got the confidence to get out there as I've hidden for so long but maybe some day............ I envy all you young guys and girls out and proud and living your lives and loving who you want. Raise your pink and blue flags and be happy. I wish I was x
oh boogie, I feel your pain my lovely. I'm 52, male, and only just started my coming out journey before Xmas 2018. It had been building up for about 35 years and I got to the point where I was just too tired to fight it anymore and hide from myself. I'm so thankful to the younger generation for being brave in their identities and helping me to realise that I'm Pansexual. There just wasn't the term when I was growing up and I'd always assumed I just must be gay even though I was attracted to some girls at school. I don't feel bi because I can be attracted, sexually or romantically, to any human. I'm gender blind and just see the person in all their beauty... nothing more, nothing less! My situation is slightly tricky though because I did get married and have kids. I came out to my wife who kind of realise that I wasn't just hetro. She wasn't overly shocked thank goodness, but we really haven't discussed our future yet and what it means. I just wish I was braver so I could have lived my authentic life. I love my current life, but just don't know where I may be heading. My kids were amazing about it and just said 'yeah we know' as if it was the most normal thing in the world.; it's really not a big deal for them. It seems everyone knows or suspects except myself and I've just been hiding. I'm not fully out yet and my parents don't know. I'm just taking small steps to try and figure it all out until I'm properly 'out'. Good luck on your journey hun! XX
1. Some women like submissive men 2. Being bi doesn’t make you submissive 3. Being bi doesn’t mean you’re a bottom 4. Being a. bottom doesn’t make you submissive 5. Idiot
Some people use "bi" to mean only attracted to men & women and "pan" for attracted to more than those two genders; the other main definition is "bi" for two or more genders but where gender still plays a role in your decisions; and "pan" for that the gender doesn't matter to you, it's personality foremost. Personally I identify as bisexual under the second definition because I can be attracted to people of various genders but I still have a gender bias in who I like
I came out some weeks ago as bisexual to my mom, and she literally told me "that's the trend now." Then she began to tell me a bunch of biphobic stereotypes and said that this is bc a group of boys were mean to me when I was younger and now i have a trauma and therefore I like girls. The thing is, mom, I ALSO LIKE BOYS!!
THANKYOU!!!! I remember going through ths highstreet where a pride march was going on and my parents were saying that it's such a trend for young ppl....liek......srsly?
Mara P.C. My mom did something similar to me when I came out, I told I was bi because I knew she would probably think that multi sexual isn’t real, so then she asked me if I was going marry a girl or boy and she wasn’t the last to do that it bothers me so much
So basically at school my friends were talking about someone who was bisexual then they started to talk about how awkward it would be to date a bi person. I am bisexual myself and I've only came out to 2 people who accept me, and them talking about that kinda triggered me. One of them also said "oh imagine if I was dating a guy but then they leave me for a guy, that would just be awkward and I don't think I could ever become bi." And even the teacher agreed to what she said and I got kinda mad
Dating a bi person is not awkward at all. I've been with one almost 20 years and married over 10y. He just came out to me a year ago, even tough I allready knew and I have been open about how ok I am with different sexualities. I identify myself as pan. Dont let anyone get you down.
My father and his side of the family were very prejudice. Racism and homophobia was something that I had to deal with growing up. My mother and her side of the family were VERY opened minded. They taught me at a very very early age (when I could understand what they were talking about.) that everyone is equal no matter what skin color, and that you can love who ever you want because love is love... that’s what I believed full heartedly. (My fathers side did not like that very much.) I told my grandmother when I was about 11-12 years old that I was Bi. (She was a god awful woman and she made my life hell.) made me believe she would keep my secret but ended up outing me to my father. I got belittled and ridiculed by him. He said it was just a phase. I know nothing because I’m a kid. Blah blah blah. So that topic never got brought up again with him... When I told my mom, she was really supportive but the way she reacted was like I was talking about some every day thing. Needless to say... I’m bisexual. It’s not a phase. And thank god I had my mother in my life... because I could have turned into a horrible hateful human being if my fathers family were solely responsible for raising me.,
I get really strange reactions when I mention that I am attracted to both men and women. I am in a very happy committed relationship with a man. I didn't choose him because he is a man, he just happens to be a man. I would have been just as happy with a woman or with a man. Often times when I mention I am Bi I get, "Well, you obviously like men more", no I attracted to all different types of people and my boyfriend fits into that category. It freaks people out because I casually mention it sometimes. I never felt this huge need to come out. I have never really came out to anyone, people just figure it out when I hit on women or when LGBTQ+ topics come up. I am just attracted to people, why is this so difficult for some people to understand?
Never really comes up in convos for me and most people think I'm straight because that's the default. I didn't come out either since it's not a big deal for me to, if someone asks I'll say I'm pan but never been an issue. Probably would get shit from some family members if I had a female partner but atm I'm together with a guy. Based on these comments and the video it's a good think I've never had a gf..
I'm so happy to have found this video and this discussion, yes it's a struggle! that people understand that simply I make no gender distinctions when feeling sexually attracted to people / falling in love. After having a girlfriend for a long time, then dating a man, people were saying "so you changed to men now" . Mum said "I see now that being lesbian was a stage". I never said i was lesbian, ever, I only said I was dating this girl. Misunderstood, invisible bi-sexuality!
@@irtap404 EXACTLY. People always assume if a bi person has a gf they've somehow turned gay/lesbian, and if they have a bf they're straight. *nO biSH tHAt'S nOt hOW iT wORks*
Megan Gudgeon yes it's so real. Alot of people in the LGBT+ community don't respect bisexuals. I used to go to a LGBT+ social club and it was awful. People were nice but you could tell there was a divide. It wasn't like one big happy family. Everyone pretty much stuck to there own group and a lot of the gay and lesbians. Some admit that they would never date someone who is bi or pan. The social club was open to everyone but it felt really close minded when there would be heated discussions about bisexuality and pansexuality. And whether its just for attention or greed. I left that club and just went spent time on my own realising that no one can tell me what my sexuality is but me. (Also There were usual about 70 people at the club every month and only about 3 bisexual people. We felt lonely as hell and we didn't get along well)
Ginger L Grant Ginger L Grant no honey that is the wrong answer. Bisexual people do have same sex relationships, bisexuals to have relationships that we're dating someone of the opposite gender. I know bisexual people who do not have sex with their partner until about a year or so in their relationship. Does that mean they are a slut? No it doesn't. And the majority of people to the LGBT+ Social Club went to make friends or come out secretly without their friends or family knowing. Do you know what bisexual people have in common with gay and lesbians, that we're all people and we have all had a hard time. Why are bisexual people singled out. My sexuality doesn't mean I want to have sex with everyone. Bisexual people struggle you know. A lot of people have painful coming out stories and bisexual people do find it hard to come out. Yet a lot of people seem to think of yeah you're a slut if you like boy and girls.When I accidentally came out in the middle of my school playground at 12 (I planned on coming out on my 18th because I knew that life would have been hell for me in school and at home) and you have no idea, how many people constantly tried to tell me different. My mother nearly put me in care because of it. She doesn't accept it, and she never will. We've agreed just to not talk about it. I had family were telling me that I was bored and lonely, greedy. Someone said I wanted people to bully me. Everyone would come up to me and say oh you're just gay. You're doing it for attention. Asking me have you had a threesome, would you become a prostitute. Girls wouldn't sit next to me because they thought I would touch them. Girls would pretend to flirt with me to see if Im really bisexual. Straight boys older than me would ask if I would have a threesome with their girlfriend. A boy threaten me with a knife because I'm bisexual so I must want to have sex with guys anyways. If its true the bisexual people have orgies on the weekend. If you're bisexual does that mean you're a virgin. Every time I went to class this boy kept throwing a bible at me, reading the bible behind me and made a Facebook page on why I should kill myself because I'm bisexual. A girl called me a slut and sent bleach to me house. Actually what's wrong is everyone else. Their interpretation of bisexual=slut. My bisexuality does not mean I want sex. I'm in love with a girl but I'm still attracted to other guys and girls does that mean that I want to fuck any guy or a girl. No it doesn't. Just because I'm bisexual doesn't mean that I don't have standards. Please just stop with this attitude because it hurts. We're just people and we don't deserve to be treated less than.
Ginger L Grant you can still be bisexual even if you're in a straight relationship. You can still be bisexual even if you're in a same sex relationship. Just because you're in a relationship with someone, it doesn't change your sexuality.
Yes hahaha I love it when I come out to a girl and she thinks I automaticaly like her like sweetie congrats for the confidence but that's like assuming every straight male on the planet likes you
i haven't come out yet but when i do i hope no one automatically thinks i like them XD i wish my crush liked me tho XD she wears the most cutiest cat ear headband ever XD my crush is who made me realize i was bi :p
This is pretty common. Most assume that having a preference means you will be attracted to everyone. That's not how it works. I think this is why understanding romantic attraction is just as important as understanding sexual attraction for sexuality to be truly understood.
My ex girlfriend used to always say “oh, you aren’t bi. You’re gay. You just don’t know it” and honestly it used to - and still does - make me really sad and frustrated
"It's just a phase" "So your half gay?" "So then do you like all of us and that's why you hang out with us?" "So you'll date anyone?" "You must have some low standards/you must be desperate" "Why can't you just choose?" "Wow that's a LOT to keep track of in the love department" "So do you think hes hot? What about her?" etc.
One Of the Questions Listed In Video-“ You’re just doing it for attention “ My Answer-Incorrect because I have lost MANY friends,can’t tell my parents because they will disown me,and am told I am going to hell for liking a girl and boy....So no I am not doing this for attention So....,
Cayc_Creepypasta 13 I've been told by "good church people that don't judge others" 😂"we hope you rot in hell, you piece of shit. You're the devil's work and you'll pay for your sins." I've also been told to just "choose" one gender, because I "chose" to be bisexual. Then got told I couldn't possibly know if I am bi and most likely I'm straight but peer pressure is making me "think" I'm bisexual.
I'm bisexual (and transgender) and the worst thing that's ever been said to me is probably: Me: I'm bisexual Person: soooo...? Me: I like both girls and boys Person: Can't you choose between being straight and gay...? Me: No...There is a B in LGBTQ+ for a reason and it doesn't mean badass (laughs on the inside) Person: How do you know it's not a phase? Me: Because I love both genders like why deny someone the ability to date me just cause they are a girl or boy. Person: Right...You're also transgender right? Me: yes Person: so...if you were straight you'd like girls? Me: Correct Person: Are you sure your not a tomboy Me: *pulls girlfriend next to me* am I a tomboy? GF: No...your a strange human being whose obsessed with yelling random crap to everyone Me: Seeeee? Person: Bye...*walks away*
Eren Jaeger ugh, that sucks. Im also bisexual and ftm transgender. Ive never struggled with or experienced much cons with being bi, i love being bi, but i experience countless cons with being transgender *every* day. Being called a tomboy is the absolute worst.
I'm bi to and people don't think I can like boys and girls they come up to me all the time saying are you a lesbian or straight and I said i like both genders equally
I wish I could scream out loud "IM BISEXUAL " No one knows apart from my bisexual friend . He already came out of the closet. I wish I had as much courage as him. But where I'm from people just aren't as accepting as other places Maybe one day............😧😧😧😧😧😢😢😢😢😢
Guys, girls, seriously, don't make such a drama out of it. I'm saying this with kindness and from experience. Keep your mind open and free, and if you happen to feel attracted to a man/woman, and if you are with them and it feels right, then you have your answer. No need to search labels, no need to fulfill other's need for labels.
Yo I understand this so much. I live in the US where people are somewhat more accepting. But having a family that doesn’t support/accept what I am is very difficult. I don’t think I’m ever coming out to THEM but I wish I could just tell them. It kinda hurts but oh well. They love me and I still love them. I don’t want that love to go away or have my family still love me but have them disappointed ☹️. Also, HELLO FELLOW ARMY~~ ^^ 💜
I remember that a famous celebrity came out as bi and my uncle was genuinely so confused I had to spend about an actual hour explaining him that she didn't "turn gay". All my support to bi people because I can imagine how annoying people are about your sexuality ♥. I'm ace so I usually have to make powerpoint presentations to come out too xD btw, please make a "Things not to say to an asexual person" video please, we have a bingo for it.
I remember my mum saying things when I was younger when celebrities came out as bi, saying they had turned gay/straight, I think I actually believed this for a long time.
Kylie Natale When I told my mom initially she seemed fine with it. But I heard through my sister afterwards that she actually finds it very confusing and that now she doesn't know if I'm straight or gay. Like, why not just ask me about it to my face instead of making assumptions behind my back? I don't understand why my mom (who generally is a very open minded person) would not be open about this with me. The point is, I think I know how you feel. I hope your mom comes around.
I told my mom I was bi two years ago in started to talk about how I am bi to her again and she laughed and asked do you know what that means. I said yes out loud but in my head I was like OF COURSE I KNOW WUT IT MEANS I DID THROUGH RESEARCH ON WUT IT WAS WHEN I WAS QUESTIONING GAAAAAAH
Bi problems: going through phases of liking girls or guys more and unintentionally confusing everyone.
Hannah Smith I feel this so much
Hannah Smith
TheUnPCDrunkBastard _ Well, no, cause you still like both genders.
Dumbass.
You seem confused, judging by your spelling and grammar and whatnot.
TheUnPCDrunkBastard _ You're definitely the confused one, you are an alcoholic after all.

Hannah Smith yeah :/ going through this right now but gotta stay in the closet for a while cause school and parents rip
when i told my therapist i was bi she literally said “oh so your experimenting.”
NOOO. i’m bi
Damn at least I can put safe space as one of my options with my insurance
Aaaaaand time for a new therapist
I think she meant bi curious
I think you should change therapists if you can
@@unicornsanddinosaurs3681 well with me my WHOLE family dosent approve of gays or anyone lgbtq+ bc theyve all complained about lgbtq+ people to me without knowing im bi
I hate when girls find out and then think you're gonna hit on them or look at them in the locker room.
I mean seriously?
Do I look that desperate?
The Treacherous Leech IKR
Omg yes it’s like you’re a creep or something like sis calm down 🤦♀️
My best friend was the first person I came out to, her immediate reaction?
“You don’t have a crush on me right?”
“No! You’re like my sister!”
She accepted that real quick her mom on the other hand? Her mom doesn’t know my sexuality nor does she need to but she is 90% sure I’m gay her daughters gay and that means we’re dating??? Like no??
LITERALLY I HAATEEE THAAT
- because it's true no straight girl want you watching them in the locker room you big lez
"you're just doing it for attention"
I have social anxiety. I do nothing for attention. That's why I didn't come out until 10 years after I realized I was not Heterosexual
dang 10 years? I only took 5
I told my Friends and they reacted normal and they asked normal questions. Since I came out to my friends, one of them are confused about her sexuality and I'm helping her with ir
I came out as bi just a couple weeks ago, and the weirdest thing was that no one really reacted. Like sure, my mom said a joke about it but that was?? All?? None of the other people (my dad, sister & a couple friends) even said a word.. My best friend's reaction was "aha" before she went on about her ex.. Like, isn't there supposed to be at least something like a "we accept you" or even just an "ok cool"? Am I doing this for attention? Now i feel like I am. Feck 😳😳
Aw, I fee ya. Hope everything’s going better
That is why I used the global lockdown to finally come out. No way people say I want attention when nobody is allowed to meet.
I had a girl next to me in English, after me telling her about my girlfriend, say "I had too much drama with girls, that's why I stopped being bi." And I, a bi person, was like "that's???? Not How It Works?????"
Exactly, you can't run away from your sexuality....you are born this way....
"You too can stop being bi now! Try... STOPPING BI" 😂
@@dragibusdrawer8446 HOOOW CAN YOU BEEN BORN SO IS SOMETHING YOU DESIDE
Oh god. I’m personally having boy drama atm but I don’t say that I’m NOT BI anymore. Statements like that make things worse for us bi people.
Omgsh the same kinda tjing happened to me !! I came out to my friend and she was so serious whenn she said this "*deep breath* yknow i used be bi" i was like "girl, you cant walk away from you sexuality dude" bruh how can you just STOP being bi like ???????
I'm a closeted bisexual.
One day my mom made a cake where one half was chocolate and the other half was cream.
And cut this cake in pieces. I asked myself for a piece with both parts saying "I take the best from both sides"
Looks like coming out failed.
Okay, I get it, but
What kind of cake was your mom trying to make???
Пепе Килджой you could made a pink, blue and purple cake. Or put those color toppings, and choose a slice of each of them, or checkered bi colors I dunno, your choice
gotta try harder next time XD
was the cake good though
@@koolcat6320 XD the important question is asked
It's sad when we get hate from both gay and straight people and I find it really frustrating.
Awesome Pet even tho I'm gay I wish people would stop labeling people and make them choose sides or descriminate because it's wrong to do that to other human beings and I think everything that is good should be respected and people in the LGBT+ should stop descriminating other LGBT people because we as a community sometimes get hate, so why should we hate on each other, I'm sorry if I'm ranting I just hate, hate in general.
Awesome Pet yeah
I dont hate you. I just don't want to date you.
Awesome Pet I know right people are so negative
Ruhe1986 No one said anything about dating you thoough, it's not like being bisexual will instantly make someone want to date other people.
“Oh so you’re gay right? Does that mean you’ll date me?”
I’m gay, not desperate
I mean, maybe I'm also desperate, but not THAT much.
I mean, would you date me? Are you sure I’m the only bisexual here?
When you say you're whatever and then they think you're attracted to them, especially the more bigoted people.
I now just respond with, "I wouldn't date you. I have standards and self-respect."
bahaha
I’m bi and desperate-
Do you like girls or guys?
Yes.

I can't laugh everyone's asleep.
I sound like a dying horse but not loud
"I'm bi"
"Oh, so you just wanna, like, get with everyone?"
"I have standards, ya badgers armpit"
My version
"I'm bi"
"Oh, so you just wanna, like, get with everyone?"
"Yes, except you."
Haha I’m Bi and everyone is hot fuehdsxhsz
I’m pan. And I get that all the dam time. It’s annoying enough when people ask if I’m attracted to literal pans 😑
If you didn't read "ya badgers armpit" in a Scottish accent, you're lying.
EiferBrennan I did it in a Northern England accent idk what it's called
To put it bluntly with that last question: it doesn’t suck being bi, it sucks being surrounded by people who are biphobic and won’t bother to understand it.
Tbf its not like bi ppl can be bothered to explain their just like "omg how dare u question my sexuality" and its like i dont understand sorry ya bam
@@randomk7198 You'd really be surprised how little people can understand it. Even when its explained there's still morons who say "its just a faze" ext, people in the LGBTQ still don't accept us, christ one of my dad's friends think its the same as gender fluidity.
@@atticusv668 fair enough but u can see how their dad might see it as similair but still hes pure stupid
Oh I understand it. I just think it is gross. Like how I think people who are into bestiality are gross. You can't help who or what you like...but we dont have to accept your views.
@@depurasangre86 false equivalence you got there. You yourself are more perverted than you're insinuating bisexuality itself is with that mindset..Via ignorance..I'm not even Bi myself and it doesn't confuse or disgust me. Educate yourself & grow up.
i had a crush on this guy and he wouldn’t date me cause i was “too gay” because i also liked girls. a couple years later i had a crush on this girl who wouldn’t date me because she thought i was “a wannabe gay”. it sucks.
I know I'm late but that sucks, I hope you find someone who deserves you
Well, as a bi, you're picking the person not the gender. And anybody who goes with "you're too gay" and "you're not gay enough" can go to hell.
Honestly any girl or guy who says shit like that isn't worth your time. Be glad you didn't date people like that.
Dude I know.... it sucks...
Even with everyone knowing about bisexuality it’s still *a stepping stone*
Just be you Juts ignore what they say
One girl from my class once told me, that I can't change in the girls locker room, beacause I like girls. So I asked "Where should I change then?" And she was like "In the boys locker room" And I was like "But I like boys as well" And then she was like "But you can't like both" And I was so done with that shit, that I didn't change at all for the next year, and got bad grade from PE.
aaahahah
Haha, lol. That is funny.
Yo! I came out to my PE class and they started getting super paranoid, and anytime I would glance at the for a second, they would literally say, "stop staring at me! Lesbo!" I'm like: "I'm not a lesbo, I like boys to ya know, and just because I like girls doesn't mean I like you. You don't like every guy in this school, why would I like every girl?"
@sad sushi agreed. lol
Zelinda Ubren You should have answered "I have a taste, you know?"
“Oh so you’re a cheater” or “it must be so much harder to resist cheating”
Seriously no just stop
Natasha Longley when you've been denied the other set of genitals for years and years. You'll eventually cheat. Bisexuality means you are attracted to #crave sex with both sets of genitals eventuality you will want the other. And most people are not ok with having a third person on the bedroom so you'll eventually cheat out of sheer sexual frustration.
i havn't been told that yet but if some one said that to me i would just slap them XD
Ruhe1986 Your argument can apply for straight or gay people as well. Eventually you can get tired of the same pair of genitals you've been having sex with and you'll desire someone else of the same gender. But that's not the case necessarily, why? Because most people respect themselves and have morals and aren't driven by sex ffs. Being bisexual means you like both men and women, it makes you openminded not hornier.
soraji- and unfortunately there are more that are driven by sex than you think. And it's an unfortunate reality that there are body parts I don't have that a bisexual person will eventually crave and not be able to get in any way shape or form other than cheating with me.
You sound like the clingy girl/guy in the dms after the relationship who make an ama later on why you shouldn't get into relationships.
People be like: Oh how are you bi when you havent even dated both yet?
Me: Well Samantha........how did you know you were straight when you never dated a dude before?

MGAM /// I turned a gay guy bi and a straight girl bi (well they were always that but I made them realize it LOL)
A friend of mine thought being bisexual meant you have a girlfriend and a boyfriend at the same time. When my brother found out I was bisexual he forbid me from being alone with his girlfriend at any one time. Never mind that she wasn't my type, why do straight people assume that you fancy anything with a pulse just because you're bi?
ChiBiMo Because they are ignorant
Omg I am so lucky with my friends, after I came out to them they were super cool with it. With family, well...they are homophobic and basically everything that's not straight phobic so I didn't come out
PurpleFrenchie all straight ppl or straight guys? Bc if it’s guys, then that’s bc they at times fancy everything with a pulse, so they assume you do.
Dee Gee no, just straight people in general - my male and female coworkers were equally confused as to how I could be bisexual and married to a man; one woman asked how women even had sex with each other (I would point out that there was more to sexual pleasure than penetration), and the men were unsurprised that my husband didn't mind me swinging both ways, though one was unsure how he would react if his missus came out as being bi. The funniest one was my best friend in college, who constantly asked "but you don't fancy me, right?" to the point where I eventually did start to fancy her.
What they're refering to is "pansexuality".
"It's just a phase"
Sweetheart our relationship is about to be a phase too.
im Kindaproblematic 😂😂😂😂😂
I love this comment 😂😂
PREACH THAT IS AMAZING
I hope I could say that to my mom😂
im Kindaproblematic
But the thing is many gay people come out as bi at first. Somehow they find it easier, at least in my generation it was like that. My best friend said to me she was bi even though she already knew I was gay. She even made out with some boys. A year later of so she admited she was lesbian.
I dated a lot of "bi" guys in my younger years. They didn't want to put the "gay" label on themselves, but with time they ended up doing so. It came to a point that I thought that bisexuality didn't exist. One woman told me she was bisexual, and i was really wasted that night so I bluntly replied "bisexuality doesn't exist", and she got so mad lol.
To this day, i've still never met a bisexual person that doesn't end up being actually gay. I don't deny the existence of bisexuality, but I think the "it's just a phase" thing is not unreasonable given the circumstances.
Legit when I came out to my mother about being bi, the first thing that came out of her mouth was "So you want to date me? So you want to date your grandmother?" And just remember crying for a long time that night because she literally thought I would just date anything that was female. She would always downplay my relationships from that point forward because "but you're dating a guy! So you're not a lesbian."
Even now in my wonderful relationship, I'm apparently "straight" and have "come out of a bisexual phase."
A similar thing happened with my Step-Grandmother when I gently came out to her at 17 about being bi but she instantly said "No! You're either gay or you're straight, being bi is just greedy. You're either one or the other." I didn't sleep that night because I was crying so hard.
Parents and relatives of Bisexual/Biromantic children/relatives please just take them at face value. If they say how they feel, it means they trust you enough to tell you in the first place. If you love them enough, then please please please don't yell or tell them they are wrong or assume anything. If it's an experiment, they will likely tell you they are experimenting, you don't have to tell them they are.
If you love them, tell them you love them.
Try to learn about bisexuality and get your information straight from the bisexual community. Hell, get your information from the LGBTQ+ community, because your family member will appreciate it and will trust you more in the future.
If you are a family member learning about bisexuality and LGBTQ+ through this video, thank you. Knowledge is a wonderful thing and to learn more about us will always be appreciated. Have a lovely day. :)

I am a male, and I have a girlfriend. When I'd tell people that they'd say "But I thought you were bi?"
wtf? You literally just answered your own question.

That is SOOOO true! Everyone in my family is rejoiced at the fact that I am now dating a male and that I am all of a sudden "straight" sorry, but I am *still* bi, as much as you'd hate to accept that. Jeez.
OKAY SAME. Currently dating a guy, and I love him, but I have definitely had some female interests.. and since people know that, they think it's weird that I'm with a guy. l m a o
Tyler Ryan me as a bisexual female with a boyfriend 😂
Tyler Ryan I'm a bisexual female. I'm also single and will probably be alone forever.
Just because I'm bi doesn't mean I don't have standards.
Wasteful Girl So true though!!! Like, oh, do you like everyone? No, you have a type or certain traits in a person you like not just any girl or guy walking down the street
"Just because I'm bi doesn't mean I don't have standards."
No, correct - that means you have DOUBLE standards. Ha ha ha!
"Just because I'm bi doesn't mean I'll sleep with literally anyone. I mean, I will, but more because of my daddy issues than my being bi"
-quote from a bisexual friend
I know right! When people hear that you're bi, they're like, "So are you just attracted to everyone?" Well, you're straight, right? Are you attracted to every guy? No! You're not! So why should I be?
Lol i can relate to that, it's just we still have standards and they don't understand that
I'm bisexual. And the one comment I'm starting to get a lot is "I thought you were gay because you hang out with dudes" and "I thought you were gay because of how you dress". I've always been a tomboy my whole life. Never been comfortable in dresses always preferred jeans and tshirts. So because of this,people that don't get to know me just assume I'm a butch lesbian lol. I find it funny that how I decide to dress should somehow determine my sexuality. There are very girly dressing bisexual women but no one assumes they are gay. So why should who I hang out with and what I feel comfortable wearing have anything to do with who I love? I just never understood that logic.
Breyana Me too.
Breyana omg this is me .....i relate to this so much ...its so stupid. like you cant be bi because ur a tomboy
coexisting vlogs EXACTLY. It's like a stigma that you are either not gay enough or not straight enough to be Bi. It's annoying as fuck and it needs to stop.
i'm bi too, with a prefercence for girls. i dress my self in a very feminine way, i always get told that i am straight. like tf no just cause i wear dresses and a lot of makeup and like to do my hear doesn't mean i am hetero?
Breyana You are basically me most of my friends are guys and I've always hated wearing dresses and skirts and shorts I'm always wearing either ripped jeans skinny jeans and t-shirts even in the summer.

Oml storytime:
So, in school, I drew an LGBTQ flag on my arm because I was bored, and I didn't think much of it. Later, when I went outside with my friends, one of em said "Dude are you gay?" as a joke, which I was extremely annoyed about, and I said "Yes." (Note that I'm bisexual and closeted, so I just said I was gay bc I assumed my friends dunno what Bi meant) She INSTANTLY BACKED AWAY FROM ME. I hope it was merely a joke, but still, that hurt bro, like being gay/bi etc isn't like a disease T^T
Oof that reminds me of one time that my friend was playing with my arm and she misheard say that I liked a girl and she immediately let go of my arm and backed away. That hurt a lot.
@@pris1145 Maybe she didn't want to give the wrong impression.
I wonder if men feel like this, I usually avoid touching them entirely 😰
So thank you for sharing your experience, it helps us straights understand how not to hurt you better!
Yeah lol, just cuz ur gay dosent mean ur in love with him
Literally I told my friend I was bisexual and they were like do you have a crush on me? I was like I have certain type just like all of you! just because I’m bisexual doesn’t mean I like everyone in the world!
I can relate to this
Yes.
I came out as gay to my best friend and that same thing happened.
Me: I'm gay.
Him: We can be friends just as long as you don't come onto me.
Me: DUDE! I have a certain type...and you ain't it.
"like uHM I HAVE STANDARDS. FIRST OF ALL."
I know right! I hated when people said that!
I’m straight but my friend told me the same thing whenever she tells someone she’s bi they always assume she likes them are bisexuals not allowed to have types ?😂

A phase? This phase has lasted almost two decades. But seriously I told one guy that I was bi and he instantly stopped talking to me, I was just being honest. Do I ever wish I wasn't bi? No, I feel more comfortable being bi than anything else
My aunt thinks I dunno what I’m talking about when I told her I was pan and then I sorta came out to her about me being trans, she thinks it’s a phase and it’s been 6-7 years
I wish I was entirely straight but only because I had a conservative religious upbringing.
My friend came out to her family as bi and her mom and sister both said:
“You can be straight or lesbian. You can’t be both”💀
What's sad is that she's not "both straight and a lesbian" she's entirely bi, so they're right, she can't be both, but being bi ISN'T being both, it's just being entirely bi! *sigh*

Actually yes, my best friend at the time thought that I was totally going to have sex with her. Never happened so I don't see what she was so worked up about.
Not exactly that problem. I rarely dare to tell anyone because I'm afraid they might think that. (Or think that I'm actually homosexual and are lying.)
Not yet. I havent told anyone. The people I know are kinda homophobic
Ali Reed I do, and I'm married to a guy
Ali Reed oh gawd a lot, I came out to my friends on National coming out Day and they over reacted.....”OMG IM SCARED DON’T RAPE ME”
“You’re just saying that to scare us because we had sex-ed”
“Wait......are you thinking about having sex with me!?..... Eww”
“......You’re gonna rape us one day”
Smh smh 🙄 after I came out to my family I’m done coming out to peeps. But my family was very supportive since my Aunty is Transgender 💗

"Yeah and so was our friendship, now it's over."
"Bye, Felicia"

LOL, I'm using that next time.
They forgot “so do you want a threesome?” I made the mistake of telling my bf I *might* be bi and now he keeps hinting at threesomes. It’s driving me insane and reminding me of why I don’t like men as much as I did when I was a naive high schooler.
Oh hun *hugs* I know that pain. Best to sit him down and explain that just because you're bisexual doesn't mean your polyamorous.
Nicole C, you should sit down and explain this to him because it's better for your relationship in the long run...
Dump him sis
That's why I'm afraid to come out to my boyfriend.
Being a guy I feel sorry you have to experience this. Funnily enough I've had it the other way around back when I was "just" straight and told my bisexual girlfriend back then I was ok with her having sex with women as long as it's not behind my back. She actually understood it as me asking for a threesome at first.
My aunt found out I was bi and she told me that I'm just going through a "phase" but my "phase" has lasted longer than her marriage
Oof

"but you're in a relationship with a guy, right?"
"but how do you get...you know...your uh...fix? with girls?"
*predatory male stare*
"so you like threesomes?"
"no you're not"
*that girl who thinks you're going to pounce on her immediately after finding out you're bi*
"you're giving us(lesbians) a bad name"
"I bet I can turn you straight/gay for good"
"how are you going to get married?"
"I was bi once too! I kissed my best friend at a party on a dare!"
"so you're half gay then yeah?"
"so you're half straight then yeah?"

That sounds too good to be true. I just don't BI it!
"It's just a phase" this one pissed me off, like oh my god... I am currently 13 going on 14 and I hear this *So much* it's not even funny!
Like it's not a phase! Not everything that happens while in your teen years is a phase!
True. And the thing is: even if it turns out to be a 'phase'... where would be the problem with that?? No need to make people feel bad. If a gay peep is unsure and thinks they miiiight be bi, just to find out they're not? Not a bad thing either. I'm 26, out for years, still get that comment. Just ask them if they ever had sex with the same gender, and if they haven't (which, ofc, most biphobes havent)... ask them how they can be sure that they are not bi if they neve had 'gay-sex'. They will GET SO MAD lol

Telling someone in a relationship you’re bisexual and having them stop talking to you because the guy thinks you’re going to flirt with him and the girl thinks you’re going to flirt with her while at the same time they both think you are going to flirt with their partner behind their back. UGH!

BI PRIDE
I am not bi, but I hate it when people say that bi people are transphobic because being bi indicates there are two genders. An orientation that you have no control over is not transphobic.
No, bisexuality is an attraction to the typically binary sexes: males and females. Gender is different to sex.
I consider myself to be bisexual panromantic because I am sexually attracted to both male and female bodies (as well as intersex, because they are usually a combination of both), and because gender is not a binary thing, hence the pan meaning all.
I agree that being bi doesn’t automatically make them transphobic, because regardless of body parts, what matters is their heart.
Bisexual means 'attracted to 2 or more genders' and has been around way longer than pansexual etc. We're not transphobic, we do not have problems with nb-people. If a bi person has a preference.... still not a horrible thing. People just love to hate us :/
Bi nonbinary person here!
To say bisexuaity is inherently transphobic is in itself biphobic AND transphobic. Trans men and trans women are still men and women. (So to say someone is pan, not bi, because they also like trans people is treating trans people like a third thing when they're not). The purple stripe on the bi flag represents attraction to nonbinary genders as well as a mix of male and female (so to say bisexuals are enbyphobic is just untrue. I'm a bi enby. Am I enbyphobic?)
to any accidental Biphobes reading this: Do not minimize the definition of bisexuality just because pansexuality exists and overlaps. Both bi and pan people can be transphobic. But neither sexuality is inherently
I just tell them that whatever has a dick and whatever has a pussy will do, so many trans people freeze up when I reply with that statement. I also prefer my men pussyless, and my ladies dickless
In my belief which is correct, there are 2 genders trans is a surgery to change gender
I laugh at myself when I used to say "I just really support the LGBTQ+ community" like no honey, you're in love with your girl best friend and are 110% bisexual, just admit it 😂

Bahaha
Lots of people say when i tell them im bi: 'So like, half gay and half normal?' it pisses me off
Coveralic i mean, tenchinicaly speaking its a correct sentence. Normal is another world for majority or most of. And you guessed it, most of the population is straight, so, half gay half normal is a correct sentence. Did you go to school?
The Cringe that's just stupid. That's like saying that people that have curly hair aren't normal. That natural blondes aren't normal. That blue eyed people aren't normal. It doesn't work like that.
Well, what the percentage of people with curly hair? Whats the percentage of people with blond hair? Is there a chart you can show me? If all the percentiles are similar then they would all be considered normal varieties of hair/eyes
[EDIT] The point is was making is that something like only 1.6% (last I checked) of the population is bisexual. That's not anywhere near the percentage of straight people ergo not normal, not saying not being normal is a bad thing, but it's not normal. Its not usual, its not average.
Coveralic I‘m bi and I take it as a joke lmfao
For example, let's use America, from what I can tell, 5.2% of the population is gay, If 5.2% of your hair was green, is that your normal hair color? No, your hair color would be for example, brown. Green is an anomaly.
Technically it shouldn't be there. But that doesn't make it a bad thing, hell if a small bit of my hair were green, that would be quite neat, you know. A defining feature! It's not a bad thing!
Everyone needs to stop thinking that,
'Not normal = Bad'
That's not how that works. you're giving "not normal" a bad reputation, stop oppressing the phrase "not normal". You're being rude and you're making it feel bad.
The girl in green is SO BEAUTIFUL

coming from a bisexual person, ALL of these things piss me off. people need to stop criticizing people who are bisexual
kamilla tombeno no one is, stfu. no one hates you.
people actually do, though. biphobia in particular happens among LGBTQ people- i don't think i've ever been in a LGBTQ space without someone or other having something negative to say about bi people, about how they're just straight people experimenting or trying to be cool, or just gay people who are too scared to go all the way... so there's both hate from homophobic straight people, and hate from our own communities (although, obviously, not everyone is like that). it really is a dealbreaker for some people as well
not to be overly personal, but are you a bisexual person? because just about every other bisexual person i've spoken to has had similar experiences to what's being spoken about here- being stereotyped as unfaithful, indecisive, just wanting attention, etc, or being made to feel left out of LGBTQ communities, and I would be surprised if many bisexual people would say that wasn't the case. it isn't really a small minority at all.
I agree people could do with being less sensitive and easily offended, but that has little to do with actually ostracizing people from a community- that isn't something that's offensive but you can brush off, it's something that actually majorly impacts peoples' lives
Chi Colborne i am but i dont really hang around large groups of people and i dont go to lgbtq events or clubs. i sit at home on weekends and i work way to much overtime during the week.
But can you see how for people who spend more time with others and make their social life a high priority (which is often essential for some LGBTQ people, that sense of community) feeling ostracized from that or having that experience made negative (as well as all the day-to-day standard homophobia from straight people) it could be really hard?
I'm not much of a social butterfly either but I feel like i would be much more connected with the community if there hadn't been negativity there- when I actually have reached out that's when I realize how much biphobia is a real thing

Ok so I only came out as bi last year at the ripe old age of 40 and no I'm not having a midlife crisis!!!!!!!!!!!!! The first person I had feelings for was a girl/woman when I was around 15 but I always wanted to be a wife and mum and in those days the only way you could do that was with a guy so I thought "well I like them too so ok!" and also the parents were old school and although things like that were never discussed I certainly knew where my mum stood 😒! However when I came out to one of my friends last year (who I've known since we were 5) she told me she remembered her mum telling her, when were early 20s, that my mum said she had suspicions I could be ........................ queer! I nearly fell over!!!! My mum died 13 years ago so will never be able to tell/ask her. 😢 I am not a wife or mum, and the way I'm going never will be, so I thought "fuck it I'm gonna die being me" so that's why I finally came out! I still haven't got the confidence to get out there as I've hidden for so long but maybe some day............ I envy all you young guys and girls out and proud and living your lives and loving who you want. Raise your pink and blue flags and be happy. I wish I was x
oh boogie, I feel your pain my lovely. I'm 52, male, and only just started my coming out journey before Xmas 2018. It had been building up for about 35 years and I got to the point where I was just too tired to fight it anymore and hide from myself. I'm so thankful to the younger generation for being brave in their identities and helping me to realise that I'm Pansexual. There just wasn't the term when I was growing up and I'd always assumed I just must be gay even though I was attracted to some girls at school. I don't feel bi because I can be attracted, sexually or romantically, to any human. I'm gender blind and just see the person in all their beauty... nothing more, nothing less! My situation is slightly tricky though because I did get married and have kids. I came out to my wife who kind of realise that I wasn't just hetro. She wasn't overly shocked thank goodness, but we really haven't discussed our future yet and what it means. I just wish I was braver so I could have lived my authentic life. I love my current life, but just don't know where I may be heading. My kids were amazing about it and just said 'yeah we know' as if it was the most normal thing in the world.; it's really not a big deal for them. It seems everyone knows or suspects except myself and I've just been hiding. I'm not fully out yet and my parents don't know. I'm just taking small steps to try and figure it all out until I'm properly 'out'. Good luck on your journey hun! XX
yes!!!! u go girl!!!!! keep knowing and loving who u are!!!!!!! we love it!!!!! what a queen!!!!!!!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
i want to be your friend
@Katherine Riggs Me except that I'm 12 although soon to be 13 and I don't know where the girl I love is. So yeah heartaches
I’m a bi girl but poor bi guys get it the hardest
I.Y.A X i’m super late but:
haha get it the hardest
Ya if a guy says "I'm bi" everyone is like "No you're gay"
Ooer, missus
1. Some women like submissive men
2. Being bi doesn’t make you submissive
3. Being bi doesn’t mean you’re a bottom
4. Being a. bottom doesn’t make you submissive
5. Idiot
You should marry one and put him out of his misery lol
I'm surprised the one I hear most isn't on here: "What's your preference?" I don't have one. It's personalities I'm first attracted to, not genitals.
Does that make you pansexual? Sorry I'm confused
Some people use "bi" to mean only attracted to men & women and "pan" for attracted to more than those two genders; the other main definition is "bi" for two or more genders but where gender still plays a role in your decisions; and "pan" for that the gender doesn't matter to you, it's personality foremost. Personally I identify as bisexual under the second definition because I can be attracted to people of various genders but I still have a gender bias in who I like
Many do have a preference tho'
I've been asked what percentage gay and what percentage straight I am before, as if I have a little pie chart which I update each morning
thaNK YOU
My friend came out to me yesterday I’m so proud of her!
Yes I am bi. Yes I am selfish. All the chips are mine I'm not sharing, get your own.
Aki Okami Same... Lmao
LMAO
Aki Okami You just described me 😂
whiffleknob WWII
Selfish about what? XD
Aki Okami yes. Bi power. Same.
i'm gay and i just wanna say bisexuality (and pansexuality!) is 100% valid and i appreciate your existence dear bi and pan people!!
oopsie thank u :3 I needed this
oopsie thank you :3 i wanna be friends cause you just made me so happy rn
oopsie thanks man
oopsie whats the real diffrence
Paaaaannnnnnseeeexxxxuuuuallllll!!!!!!!
I came out some weeks ago as bisexual to my mom, and she literally told me "that's the trend now." Then she began to tell me a bunch of biphobic stereotypes and said that this is bc a group of boys were mean to me when I was younger and now i have a trauma and therefore I like girls. The thing is, mom, I ALSO LIKE BOYS!!
StarDust Hahaha I love that metaphor!! Thank you😊❤️😁
My mom just kinda went "Oh, well I am not really surprised that you are bi."
THANKYOU!!!! I remember going through ths highstreet where a pride march was going on and my parents were saying that it's such a trend for young ppl....liek......srsly?
Ikr its like yeah I went through all of that emotional pain and depression with anxiety sauce and a cherry on top because its the cool new thing xD
Mara P.C. My mom did something similar to me when I came out, I told I was bi because I knew she would probably think that multi sexual isn’t real, so then she asked me if I was going marry a girl or boy and she wasn’t the last to do that it bothers me so much
"You're doing it for attention." With my social anxiety? Never😅
Why would I be Bi for attention...like wtf?
you aren't bi for attention, but you can say you're bi for the attention
I have a name for those girls at my bar. they are "barsexual" meaning they kiss women to turn on men.
Kawaii We can make a sexuality out of this
Riiight...the shy socially anxious person who wants nothing to do with your bullshit would love to get attention by "pretending" to be bi
So basically at school my friends were talking about someone who was bisexual then they started to talk about how awkward it would be to date a bi person. I am bisexual myself and I've only came out to 2 people who accept me, and them talking about that kinda triggered me.
One of them also said "oh imagine if I was dating a guy but then they leave me for a guy, that would just be awkward and I don't think I could ever become bi." And even the teacher agreed to what she said and I got kinda mad
Seriously??? EDUCATE THOSE FOOLS 💕💕
I'm Bi and I haven't come out to anyone yet. I know how you feel but don't worry we have the whole bi community who has our back! 🌈
Of course they couldn't because bi... You can't choose your sexuality..
What kind of teacher teaches hate ?!?
Dating a bi person is not awkward at all. I've been with one almost 20 years and married over 10y. He just came out to me a year ago, even tough I allready knew and I have been open about how ok I am with different sexualities. I identify myself as pan. Dont let anyone get you down.
My father and his side of the family were very prejudice. Racism and homophobia was something that I had to deal with growing up.
My mother and her side of the family were VERY opened minded. They taught me at a very very early age (when I could understand what they were talking about.) that everyone is equal no matter what skin color, and that you can love who ever you want because love is love... that’s what I believed full heartedly. (My fathers side did not like that very much.)
I told my grandmother when I was about 11-12 years old that I was Bi.
(She was a god awful woman and she made my life hell.) made me believe she would keep my secret but ended up outing me to my father.
I got belittled and ridiculed by him. He said it was just a phase. I know nothing because I’m a kid. Blah blah blah. So that topic never got brought up again with him... When I told my mom, she was really supportive but the way she reacted was like I was talking about some every day thing.
Needless to say... I’m bisexual.
It’s not a phase.
And thank god I had my mother in my life... because I could have turned into a horrible hateful human being if my fathers family were solely responsible for raising me.,
It’s a good thing there’s at least one person in your life that loves and supports you. All the love -💖💜💙
We’re way to straight for gays
And way to gay for straights
I get really strange reactions when I mention that I am attracted to both men and women. I am in a very happy committed relationship with a man. I didn't choose him because he is a man, he just happens to be a man. I would have been just as happy with a woman or with a man. Often times when I mention I am Bi I get, "Well, you obviously like men more", no I attracted to all different types of people and my boyfriend fits into that category. It freaks people out because I casually mention it sometimes. I never felt this huge need to come out. I have never really came out to anyone, people just figure it out when I hit on women or when LGBTQ+ topics come up. I am just attracted to people, why is this so difficult for some people to understand?
Never really comes up in convos for me and most people think I'm straight because that's the default. I didn't come out either since it's not a big deal for me to, if someone asks I'll say I'm pan but never been an issue. Probably would get shit from some family members if I had a female partner but atm I'm together with a guy. Based on these comments and the video it's a good think I've never had a gf..
I'm so happy to have found this video and this discussion, yes it's a struggle! that people understand that simply I make no gender distinctions when feeling sexually attracted to people / falling in love.
After having a girlfriend for a long time, then dating a man, people were saying "so you changed to men now" . Mum said "I see now that being lesbian was a stage". I never said i was lesbian, ever, I only said I was dating this girl.
Misunderstood, invisible bi-sexuality!
@@irtap404 EXACTLY. People always assume if a bi person has a gf they've somehow turned gay/lesbian, and if they have a bf they're straight. *nO biSH tHAt'S nOt hOW iT wORks*
I found it shocking to hear that ppl who are bisexual get so much back lash from the LGBT community
Megan Gudgeon yes it's so real. Alot of people in the LGBT+ community don't respect bisexuals. I used to go to a LGBT+ social club and it was awful. People were nice but you could tell there was a divide. It wasn't like one big happy family. Everyone pretty much stuck to there own group and a lot of the gay and lesbians. Some admit that they would never date someone who is bi or pan. The social club was open to everyone but it felt really close minded when there would be heated discussions about bisexuality and pansexuality. And whether its just for attention or greed. I left that club and just went spent time on my own realising that no one can tell me what my sexuality is but me. (Also There were usual about 70 people at the club every month and only about 3 bisexual people. We felt lonely as hell and we didn't get along well)
Ginger L Grant Ginger L Grant no honey that is the wrong answer. Bisexual people do have same sex relationships, bisexuals to have relationships that we're dating someone of the opposite gender. I know bisexual people who do not have sex with their partner until about a year or so in their relationship. Does that mean they are a slut? No it doesn't. And the majority of people to the LGBT+ Social Club went to make friends or come out secretly without their friends or family knowing. Do you know what bisexual people have in common with gay and lesbians, that we're all people and we have all had a hard time. Why are bisexual people singled out. My sexuality doesn't mean I want to have sex with everyone. Bisexual people struggle you know. A lot of people have painful coming out stories and bisexual people do find it hard to come out. Yet a lot of people seem to think of yeah you're a slut if you like boy and girls.When I accidentally came out in the middle of my school playground at 12 (I planned on coming out on my 18th because I knew that life would have been hell for me in school and at home) and you have no idea, how many people constantly tried to tell me different. My mother nearly put me in care because of it. She doesn't accept it, and she never will. We've agreed just to not talk about it. I had family were telling me that I was bored and lonely, greedy. Someone said I wanted people to bully me. Everyone would come up to me and say oh you're just gay. You're doing it for attention. Asking me have you had a threesome, would you become a prostitute. Girls wouldn't sit next to me because they thought I would touch them. Girls would pretend to flirt with me to see if Im really bisexual. Straight boys older than me would ask if I would have a threesome with their girlfriend. A boy threaten me with a knife because I'm bisexual so I must want to have sex with guys anyways. If its true the bisexual people have orgies on the weekend. If you're bisexual does that mean you're a virgin. Every time I went to class this boy kept throwing a bible at me, reading the bible behind me and made a Facebook page on why I should kill myself because I'm bisexual. A girl called me a slut and sent bleach to me house. Actually what's wrong is everyone else. Their interpretation of bisexual=slut. My bisexuality does not mean I want sex. I'm in love with a girl but I'm still attracted to other guys and girls does that mean that I want to fuck any guy or a girl. No it doesn't. Just because I'm bisexual doesn't mean that I don't have standards. Please just stop with this attitude because it hurts. We're just people and we don't deserve to be treated less than.
Megan Gudgeon I think it's just a loud minority for the most part, that's just from my experience though
Ginger L Grant you can still be bisexual even if you're in a straight relationship. You can still be bisexual even if you're in a same sex relationship. Just because you're in a relationship with someone, it doesn't change your sexuality.
Ginger L Grant This is a perfect example of Bi phobia.
Just because I'm bi doesn't mean I fancy everyone..
No you just fancy male and females,No one should trust you
Yes hahaha I love it when I come out to a girl and she thinks I automaticaly like her like sweetie congrats for the confidence but that's like assuming every straight male on the planet likes you
i haven't come out yet but when i do i hope no one automatically thinks i like them XD
i wish my crush liked me tho XD she wears the most cutiest cat ear headband ever XD
my crush is who made me realize i was bi :p
I can relate. The girl who made me realize I was bi is like 3 or 4 years older than me though. 🙁🙁🙁
This is pretty common. Most assume that having a preference means you will be attracted to everyone. That's not how it works. I think this is why understanding romantic attraction is just as important as understanding sexual attraction for sexuality to be truly understood.
My ex girlfriend used to always say “oh, you aren’t bi. You’re gay. You just don’t know it” and honestly it used to - and still does - make me really sad and frustrated
"but like, do you even know you're bi if you haven't done anything with a girl" yes. and i have. now leave.
response "So how do you know you're not gay if you haven't done anything with a man/woman"
or punch them, either would probably work
"It's just a phase" "So your half gay?" "So then do you like all of us and that's why you hang out with us?" "So you'll date anyone?" "You must have some low standards/you must be desperate" "Why can't you just choose?" "Wow that's a LOT to keep track of in the love department" "So do you think hes hot? What about her?" etc.
One Of the Questions Listed In Video-“ You’re just doing it for attention “
My Answer-Incorrect because I have lost MANY friends,can’t tell my parents because they will disown me,and am told I am going to hell for liking a girl and boy....So no I am not doing this for attention So....,
Cayc_Creepypasta 13 I've had at lest five people say I'm going to hell for being bi.
Cayc_Creepypasta 13 I've been told by "good church people that don't judge others" 😂"we hope you rot in hell, you piece of shit. You're the devil's work and you'll pay for your sins." I've also been told to just "choose" one gender, because I "chose" to be bisexual. Then got told I couldn't possibly know if I am bi and most likely I'm straight but peer pressure is making me "think" I'm bisexual.
Who’s bi and didn’t come out to there parents?
I
I
I
^
I didn't need to come out i just kinda fell out of the closet
I am sooooooo ok with not coming out to my parents lmao
Me, ik my mom will accept its just that it will he awkward so yeh
I'd rather not get the death sentence...
When I come out as bi, my parents don't have much opinion about it. But they had against me about being transqueer lol.
“Pick one!”
no.
I'm bisexual (and transgender) and the worst thing that's ever been said to me is probably:
Me: I'm bisexual
Person: soooo...?
Me: I like both girls and boys
Person: Can't you choose between being straight and gay...?
Me: No...There is a B in LGBTQ+ for a reason and it doesn't mean badass (laughs on the inside)
Person: How do you know it's not a phase?
Me: Because I love both genders like why deny someone the ability to date me just cause they are a girl or boy.
Person: Right...You're also transgender right?
Me: yes
Person: so...if you were straight you'd like girls?
Me: Correct
Person: Are you sure your not a tomboy
Me: *pulls girlfriend next to me* am I a tomboy?
GF: No...your a strange human being whose obsessed with yelling random crap to everyone
Me: Seeeee?
Person: Bye...*walks away*
Eren Jaeger ugh, that sucks. Im also bisexual and ftm transgender. Ive never struggled with or experienced much cons with being bi, i love being bi, but i experience countless cons with being transgender *every* day. Being called a tomboy is the absolute worst.
I'm bi to and people don't think I can like boys and girls they come up to me all the time saying are you a lesbian or straight and I said i like both genders equally
Lol
I love when people put the Q in LGBTQ+ like don’t forget about us non binary people I’m gay but also non binary
@@Phantom-qi6bf am attracted to femininity but am still bi, dating a tran girl tomorrow
I was expecting the question "Do you prefer men or women?"
Lava Lyra there are bi people who prefer women or men but they're still bi
Yea lol, one of my best friends is bi but she leans a bit more the the gays
Ikr
paranormal narrator
Like 60% to 80% gay? ✌🏻
"I'm happy to be bisexual and I think other people need to stop being biphobic"
GO OFF YES
I wish I could scream out loud "IM BISEXUAL "
No one knows apart from my bisexual friend . He already came out of the closet. I wish I had as much courage as him. But where I'm from people just aren't as accepting as other places
Maybe one day............😧😧😧😧😧😢😢😢😢😢
Looks like i found you somewhere before..
Guys, girls, seriously, don't make such a drama out of it. I'm saying this with kindness and from experience.
Keep your mind open and free, and if you happen to feel attracted to a man/woman, and if you are with them and it feels right, then you have your answer. No need to search labels, no need to fulfill other's need for labels.
I’m sorry that you have to live there. No matter what you hear from ppl around you there is nothing wrong with being LGBTQ+. Good luck
I told this to my friends yesterday and they just said “ok then”
No one actually cares! You can come out.
Yo I understand this so much. I live in the US where people are somewhat more accepting. But having a family that doesn’t support/accept what I am is very difficult. I don’t think I’m ever coming out to THEM but I wish I could just tell them. It kinda hurts but oh well. They love me and I still love them. I don’t want that love to go away or have my family still love me but have them disappointed ☹️. Also, HELLO FELLOW ARMY~~ ^^ 💜
I remember that a famous celebrity came out as bi and my uncle was genuinely so confused I had to spend about an actual hour explaining him that she didn't "turn gay". All my support to bi people because I can imagine how annoying people are about your sexuality ♥. I'm ace so I usually have to make powerpoint presentations to come out too xD
btw, please make a "Things not to say to an asexual person" video please, we have a bingo for it.
I remember my mum saying things when I was younger when celebrities came out as bi, saying they had turned gay/straight, I think I actually believed this for a long time.
dmoon Yes, it is ^^
Anaaewp
I'm asexual too!
Ace - five! 🙋
If your powerpoint is real I would genuinely love to see it!
God yes, my mom told me it was a choice I was making when I came out to her
My friend is bi and this person once said to him
"If YoU hAd To ChOoSe BeTwEen BoyS aNd gIrLs wHo wOulD you cHoOse?"
*both*
G-... w...well...maybe guy... girl..... wait FU
"It's just a phase."
My mom said this to me.
It was terrible.
Kylie Natale just say: "Prove it" exactly she can't but you can prove that it ismt
Kylie Natale When I told my mom initially she seemed fine with it. But I heard through my sister afterwards that she actually finds it very confusing and that now she doesn't know if I'm straight or gay. Like, why not just ask me about it to my face instead of making assumptions behind my back? I don't understand why my mom (who generally is a very open minded person) would not be open about this with me. The point is, I think I know how you feel. I hope your mom comes around.
I told my mom I was bi two years ago in started to talk about how I am bi to her again and she laughed and asked do you know what that means. I said yes out loud but in my head I was like OF COURSE I KNOW WUT IT MEANS I DID THROUGH RESEARCH ON WUT IT WAS WHEN I WAS QUESTIONING GAAAAAAH
