everyone, as a bisexual male, i feel that i can't talk about pokemon with y'all, so i'm going to kindly ask that you stop talking about it in the thread. you can always make another thread for it

Would've been better if you had referenced yourself as a gamer of an opposing franchise to Pokemon.

 

[iirate]

Makes sense then. I suppose IF a woman who proclaimed to be lesbian, did have sex with a man, would actually be incorrectly identifying herself as lesbian. She'd be Bisexual, but didn't realize it....right?

right.

Sexuality isn't something completely black and white. She could still be a lesbian and have a few exceptions. Maybe she just wanted to experiment, or she did a grave mistake.

I'm friends with a lesbian that's in a commited relationship with a straight guy. Sometimes people just transcend your biases.

in my short time on gaf, I think I'm giving up on transgender threads for good. it's sad that people are so fucking dumb.

Oh no, I haven't been there since this morning. It was already frustrating enough, and now it's *bigger*.

If anything, gay/trans kids need more education about sexuality since they are coming to terms with it and they're also subject to the most hate for it. Truly progressive people understand that.

Definitely. I can only imagine the good it would have done for me.

As annoying as transgender threads are to wade through at present, things have been progressively better on GAF wrt to this issue to the point that many threads from the before time would probably have you recoiling in horror. A lot of it is fairly innocent ignorance - it wasn't until an episode of This American Life (for realsies) that I first started to really empathize with trans peeps myself and I had to personally learn about the preferred pronoun thing on GAF - but once one gets past that it becomes a matter of willful prejudice and/or lack of empathy.

For example. (This thread induced an apparent record number of bannings, though, so it's not all bad, although shortly thereafter began the airy accusations of some sort of Gay Black Trans-Feminazi PC cabal roaming the streets of this forum and beating up the intolerant among us.) The oldest ones you can find are much, much worse than that, btw.

I've been lurking since 07, and I definitely remember a lot of transwomen jokes being thrown around here. I'm trying to find a really bad one in particular.

Is it weird that I've been depressed the past few weeks about being bisexual...? I haven't felt this way since I tried to kill myself in high school. While I've been sexually attracted to both men and women almost all my life, I pretty much only have interest in men at this point(I'm male). It's been that way for a while now. But lately... I don't know. I found a GAF gay / bi coming out thread, but it's over a year old so I was afraid to bump it, perhaps this is more suited for that. For some reason, lately it's been depressing me something fierce. I haven't told a soul, and I don't think I could. My Mom would probably be fine with it, my Dad, I'm not sure. I don't think he'd be happy about it, but he'd accept it, if y'know what I mean. However, I think I'd lose a lot of my friends if I did. I went to a Christian high school and I remember sitting in a Grade 11 Bible class where everyone spent a good chunk discussing why gay people were horrible, saying things like "if my family found out my brother was gay, we'd kick him out and cut off any support", "it's their choice", etc. All while the teacher nodded. I just sat in complete silence and tried to forget about it. My two close friends would probably be fine with it... I don't even know why I feel the need to tell anyone suddenly. After my depression in high school, I usually have an "I ain't care!" attitude, but when it comes to this... I'm sorry, I'm having trouble describing it. I'm really sorry. The past few weeks it's been on my mind all the time, and I even find myself walking by the school counseling area just to see the LGBT positive sticker. I'm sure that's strange... But it comforts me, oddly enough. Tonight it's been bothering me a lot, thus leading to this post. I have a test tomorrow but I've barely studied, I keep thinking about it and have been reading that coming out thread I previously mentioned and watching videos like this.

I'm sorry to post this here. I don't know why I am. On a brighter note, I am now a fan of Sexy Layton.

Don't be depressed about being bisexual. Bisexual is best sexual!

I haven't felt this way since I tried to kill myself in high school.

Did you try to kill yourself because of your sexuality, or was there another reason?

While I've been sexually attracted to both men and women almost all my life, I pretty much only have interest in men at this point(I'm male). It's been that way for a while now. But lately... I don't know.

But lately...? You're more attracted to women? Is that what you mean?

I found a GAF gay / bi coming out thread, but it's over a year old so I was afraid to bump it, perhaps this is more suited for that.

This thread is sort of the catch all LGBTQ thread, so your issues are definitely appropriate to post here, but you should also feel free to bump the Coming Out thread. You're most likely to get more responses if you post in here though.

For some reason, lately it's been depressing me something fierce.

*hugs*

It's good that you think that your parents would be accepting of you, especially if you live with them, even if it took a while for them to reach that point. On the subject of your friends, however, if you'd "lose" them over something like them finding out about your real sexuality, then they probably weren't really your friends to begin with and they're not really the types of people you'd want to have in your life. Fuck them.

Eww, I'm sorry. I've been in situations like that before. (like every day ;__ It's awful.

Come by here more often and you'll see more than just a sticker. ;}

I don't even know why I feel the need to tell anyone suddenly. I keep thinking about it and have been reading that coming out thread I previously mentioned and watching videos like this.

Feel free to vent in here as much as you want. If you feel compelled to come out, and you think your family would be okay with it (in time), and you're financially independent, live alone, etc. then why not do it? Maybe you can come out to, like, one friend at a time or something like that? If you aren't ready, then feel free to come out to everyone on GAF! It's not as scary!

Hehe, thanks

Did you try to kill yourself because of your sexuality, or was there another reason?

Not particularly, I was just extremely depressed and hated myself. I was also bullied a bit, and heard things like "I hope he runs into traffic and dies". I'm happy I didn't though.

But lately...? You're more attracted to women? Is that what you mean?

Sorry, I meant that as but lately I'm not sure what to do with coming out. To clarify, I'm attracted to men right now, and have little interest in women anymore.

I'm living with them right now(19) but I'm very lucky in that they love me, and I doubt they'd try to kick me out or cut me off financially. I guess I'm just afraid of my Dad being disappointed or something like that. That said, I think I'm ready to come out soon. I'll certainly stick around here though!

Thank you very much for this post, it really helped me calm down.

I went to a Catholic school and I practically cut ties with everyone there. I'm not saying all of them are like that, but they are some of the most close minded people I've ever met. I don't feel like a lost important friendships or something, to be honest, I felt a lot better when I stopped talking to them.
I still remember those classes when they said gay people would burn in hell or something like that, I can't help but laugh.

. People wonder why we're so keen on watching an ambiguously gay couple on a TV show when there's gay porn to fap. But there's no storyline and characters to sympathize in porn. I want to empathize with the characters and want to root for them....even if they are a bunch of psycho serial killers.

Try not to worry too much. There's nothing wrong with being Gay/Bi and worrying about it is bloody exhausting (as I'm sure you're aware of). Perhaps you should just go out with friends to take your mind off it all.


Additionally, there is no need to apologise about posting this here. it's the purpose of the thread.

Been there, done that, bought the t-shirt.

Honestly, I think you should try talking to someone about it. I know it can be intimidating coming out to family and friends and whatnot but you should definitely see a counsellor or something. I know I kept all my feelings to myself until I felt like I was going to go crazy. It wasn't until I started to open up about things that I began to feel better.

And I was much older when I started and it's been a long journey ever since.

I also wouldn't worry too much about labels either. It's nice to be able to put a name on things but it can also feel like a lot of pressure to meet some self imposed restrictions to fit said label. It's also common for sexual attraction to change over time as well.

The great thing about college is that you get to meet a lot of new people and a lot more open minded people as well. I'd rather lose "friends" who don't like me for who I actually am then to not be myself so that they can still tolerate me. And there are people out there that will like you no matter who you are attracted to.

But yeah, talk to someone. What I did was I found someone on my dorm floor who was very openly supportive of lgbt issues and told her. I wasn't particularly close with her at the time but she really helped me in dealing with the issues. My only regret is not seeking someone much sooner than I did.
