    Hello! My name is Emmy and I'm a very closeted bisexual woman who is surrounded by people who only believe in heterosexual relationships. I knew from when I was very young that I preferred both genders romantically and sexually but have no experience whatsoever. I joined primarily for support, to gather insight from others, and try and make new friendships with people who are not narrow-minded or bigoted.

    I look forward to getting to know everyone! :slight_smile:

    Your username is fantastic!

    I've not been here long but it's nice to be able to openly discuss things. I too am closeted and live in a very heteronormative situation so don't really get the opportunity.

    Thanks everyone for the warm welcoming! ^_^ It makes me happy to know there are people who are accepting!

    Thanks! I thought it fit me to a T, haha. Isn't it awful? I hate hiding or having to "fake it until I make it". Perhaps, one day narrow-minded bigots will be more understanding. :frowning2:

    Hello Emmy !

    I'm bisexual and I'm also in the closet except for two good friends I just don't know how I managed to come out to.

    I understand how it feels to be surrounded by people that only seem to believe in heterosexual love/relationships (most of the people I know are like this), it's frustrating when people don't understand (or don't want to understand) that sexuality and love can take so many forms and that we're not bound to how society wants us to be.

    I joined to get to know different people with different stories and thoughts, to try to understand my self better through their experiences, to find the courage I may need when I feel I'm ready to finally come out, and to give a hand every time it's possible.

    So anyway, I hope you find what you're looking for here,

    and WELCOME ! :slight_smile:
