I'm biromantic gay, and I really want to come out to my mother. The only issue is, I don't want to tell her I'm gay (because she'll think it's boys-only), and I don't want to tell her I'm bi ('cause I'm not sexually attracted to gals). What's the easiest way to describe myself as biromantic gay? Because I don't think she'll know exactly what it means :icon_sad:
I'll probably say this. I want it to be clear to her, that I could get married to either women/men, but not be interested in sex with the former.
Straight people have a hard time understanding such stuff. I know this might sound somewhat harsh but... in the end, does it matter if your mother knows the exact details? Just tell her you're bisexual and lean more towards guys. First thing that will cross her mind will be (whether she says it or not) "you've never tried it with a girl, how do you know"... People are stupid like that. The concept of bisexuality is hard enough to explain on it's own (trust me i've tried...) add to that the romantic aspect of things and you over complicate things to the point where you can literally see the person in front drawing a blank. I personally like to think that all these "labels" aren't for us but for the people around us. Feeling are far more complex...
"ladies and gents woo hoo except no frick fracking with the girls sorry" In seriousness, you said it well already. "I could get married to either women/men, but not be interested in sex with the former."
