Well hai thar.

Well, you can probably tell that I'm new since I'm posting here. I suppose this is the part where I ramble about myself a bit, though there's not much to tell...

I've not accepted that I liked girls for very long, to be honest. I struggled for years with how I felt, which was part of the problem- I was raised in a very conservative home (my dad's a preacher) and for the most part, I felt I was sinning. As I got older, I started forming my own opinions about the world, and grew much more tolerant of things that were 'wrong'. After a friend of mine came out, I realized that there was nothing wrong with her. She wasn't a depraved, evil person. I still felt it was a sin, but I accepted her as she was.

Then I met my current boyfriend, Jonathan. Jon and I are both Christian, but the major difference between us is he felt homosexuality wasn't a sin. I admit to being a stubborn individual, and the issue caused some tension between us, especially because his best female friends were in a gay relationship. So one night, he had a plan to make me believe he was a lady. I regret to say that yes, I am that gullible. :dry: So after he saw that I believed him, he asked if I was going to break up with him. During this, I didn't even consider breaking up; I'd been planning on how to tell my family and friends I was dating 'her'. After that, he grinned and happily informed me that he's a jerkface. (What he actually said was, "Yea, everything I just told you? That was a lie for the greater good. I don't have lady bits.")

Well, his plan worked. I realized that it's not really the gender that matters, it's the person. Good lesson, terrible way to go about it. :rolle:

So then I finally sat down and let Jon tell his part, and I had to admit, he did make sense now that I actually listened to the points he was making.

And that's how I came to accept myself as bi... as corny as that sounds.

 

Thank you all for your welcomes.
