B is for Bisexuality

Day 2 of the A to Z Challenge  

Today's subject is Bisexuality.

Bisexuals may be attracted to members of both sexes, or may define themselves as "bisexual" 


-- but they may or may not indulge in active bisexual behaviors.


Its a peeve of mine that there is so much hate in the gay community for bisexuals. Yes, they DO exist. No, this is not an M&M commercial.  People seem to think so many misconceptions about being bisexual. Whether a bisexual person settles down with a man or a woman it doesn't make them any less bisexual. It just means that they found the PERSON they want to be with. Gender in that case doesn't MATTER. 


Why is it that we have to stick a LABEL on everything? I know people in the LG community that absolutely WOULD NOT date a Bi person. They fear that eventually it is inevitable for this person to leave them for a heterosexual partner. They FEAR.  I've found that all too often FEAR and HATE are gripping each other's hands. Its time to let it go. The thing is that with a Bi person, is it possible they will leave for a heterosexual relationship.. yes, but its JUST as possible that they will leave for a homosexual one. 


Is society more lenient of Bisexual people versus Homosexual people? I think it all depends upon perspective.. There is a stigma attached to it on both sides of the homo/hetero fence.  The thing is that the RAINBOW symbol is supposed to symbolize how many diversities there are in this world. Lesbian, Gay, Bi, Trans*, Questioning... we are all looking for the SAME thing. Love and acceptance. 


Maybe this is particularly an issue for me, who for many years identified at Bisexual. I am more attracted to women then men, despite having had  longer lasting relationships with men. But by and large I was trying to fit myself into a role that I thought society would APPROVE of.  At this time its easier to say that I'm a lesbian, even though I probably Identify NOW more as a pansexual. I am open to finding love where ever it presents itself. The outer trappings are very secondary to the inner workings of the person.
