Bisexuality is nothing more than being open. Someone who is bisexual has an attraction to both men and women to varying degrees. Some find more attraction to one but still find the other attractive as well. Many people – even in the gay community – do not understand or accept bisexuals; the most important person that needs to accept you, though, is you. As a bisexual, you are open enough to understand that love and attraction should never be based on what society thinks, or even what those around you think, is ‘right.’ Attraction is about opening your heart and mind to who someone is on the inside.

Bisexuality is many times used as a stepping stone in discovering who you are. ‘Bi-curious’ is a termed used for those who are dipping their toes into the lake of the GLBT community. There are definite hardships of accepting yourself as bisexual, just as anyone else discovering their sexuality. But the most important thing is that you do not let stereotypes and judgements affect who you are; you are whoever you are, and no one can change that.
