    So today I told my mom over text messege. She told my aunt because she needed someone to talk to. (which I don't care) But when I got home she was saying how this is a desicion and you can always go back to being straight, but I will support you either way.. She said she would get me help if I need it. But she thinks being bisexual is a desicion. How do I tell her it's not a desicion it's who I am? Thank you..

    She's probably just uneducated on this type of topic. If you feel comfortable enough, you could try educating her yourself.

    How do you explain it's not a choice to her?

    It's only a choice for you to choose to date men, not to be bisexual. Those feelings will never change, and if you date men you're still bi. It's simple as that. Sorry she doesn't get it.

    People like your mom always thinks it's a decision when your not straight, to them heterosexuality is the only sexuality . You're gonna have to show her that you are bisexual and didn't choose it.
