bisexuality

For twenty-one years, I have been paralyzed by the fear of what this society will do with me if they ever were to know of the thoughts that I continually push away. For more than two decades, I have made a choice to be straight. After all, it__ as easy as making a choice, isn__ it? This culture has made sure that I know that. Anyone who is anything other than straight was just someone deceived by the devil. He is unnatural. He is confused. He is mistaken. He is weak. He can control it if he desires to control it. Such a compelling and ongoing argument has been made that I have always trusted it.I believed that if I hid it long enough, and ran from it long enough, and refused to acknowledge it for long enough, I could indeed succeed at living up to their decrees. I believed that I could force myself to never be anything else.

Make life easier for those around you, not harder.Every person you know is fighting their own great battle. Few of us ever know what those battles entail, and so often we say and do things that push others deeper and harder into the front lines of those battles. I know such has been the relentless lifelong reality for me.Love a person for the person that they are.Or dislike them for the person that they are.But don__ love or dislike them for the sole reason that they see people differently than you do. Don__ love or dislike them because they experience the world differently than you do.And please don__ eternally and wholly define them with sexual labels just because they were among those who finally found the courage to acknowledge their truth.

At the border of where I will literally not survive so long as I keep living in so much fear of the harsh judgments of others, I am finally conceding the truth to you all.I am finally conceding the truth to me.I am something other than straight.

If only I could change the world around me, perhaps my truth won__ one day be the end of me.

The world is so obsessed with defining sexuality for everyone and attaching labels to it. Any time any person openly leaves the sexual norm, their sexuality becomes, more often than not, the absolute defining characteristic of that person. It becomes the first thing people think about and often the first thing they mention. Every other part of that person all but disappears.

I suppose it__ not a social norm, and not a manly thing to do _ to feel, discuss feelings. So that__ what I__ giving the finger to. Social norms and stuff_what good are social norms, really? I think all they do is project a limited and harmful image of people. It thus impedes a broader social acceptance of what someone, or a group of people, might actually be like.

Hope that doesn__ hurt too much

James, you__ like Lou Reed,_ Michael insisted. __e was bisexual.__heir laughter turned to coughs. They were all staring at me when I turned around. I told myself to relax.__h, yeah?_ I said. __e doesn__ sound bisexual.__ichael just shook his head, but Ronan and Glenn smiled.__hey did electroshock therapy on him when he was a teenager,_ Michael said.__lectro-what?_ said Glenn. __hey electrocuted people?___ind of. They zapped their brains to alter their personalities. That__ how they tried to make gay people straight back then.__hey all looked at me for a response.I shrugged. __o, he was bisexual? It worked halfway?

Last night I was seriously considering whether I was a bisexual or not but I don__ think so though I__ not sure if I__ like to be and argh I don__ think there__ anything wrong with that, if you like a person, you like the person, not their genitals.

Only by speaking out can we create lasting change. And that change begins with coming out.

Whether it's men, women__t doesn't really matter. The human race is filled with passion and lust. And to coin terms like heterosexuality, homosexuality or even bisexuality makes no sense to me. You are human. You love who you love. You fuck who you fuck. That should be enough__o labels. No stigmas. Nothing. Just be to be.But life isn't that kind. People will always find things to hate.

People think that LGBTs adopting children will hurt them, but it's not being in loving homes that hurts children most.

The power of love is that it sees all people.

The world could use more love. Why deny it to others?

What does love mean if we would deny it to others?

Love should never mean having to live in fear.

Fear is the intended result of codifying homophobia into law.
