Hello! This whole world is very new to me still, as it was only recently that I realized that I was bi. I have a lot to learn. My growing up years were dominated by very conservative Christianity (IFB) as well as very conservative southern culture, so people who were LGBT were like aliens to me, sadly. It wasn't until I hit my young adult years that I started questioning things (ultimately led to leaving Christianity), which also led to questioning my sexuality (another thing that was taboo growing up - plain old sex). As I'm discovering, being bi-sexual is no less acceptable to the world, even to other people with "abnormal" sexuality, so that's certainly a lot to swallow. My mother recently asked me if I was bi, and was none to pleased with my answer. She stated I had opened myself up to demon possession and was in a terrible place, spiritually. *sigh... I'm so tired of having to suppress who I really am because the people around me can't handle the real me. So tired of having to keep people appeased to prevent nasty arguments and hateful words. I am me, and I happen to be bi-sexual. Live with it, and please love me regardless of it - that's all I ask. Once I truly make it known, I know the backlash will be ugly, so I'm eagerly seeking to create my own family of friends who will love and support me in the absence of my blood family. So far I have at least three people in that family, and I'm eternally grateful for each of them. I look forward to meeting people here and sharing life's craziness. (&&&) ~ Amaranth
Hey! This site is super friendly, I've only been here for about a month or so - probably not even that - but I know that there is ALWAYS someone to talk to and someone who can relate to what's happening in your life at the moment. It's a pretty great feeling! Being bi-sexual, I know that realising things.. blah, it's so confusing at times. I'm really glad to have my close friends and family be supportive of it though, because I understand how much people have to deal with. Eventually, you will find out yourself that the 'demon possession' is totally worth understanding how you think and genuinely who you are. Suppressing who you are? I know too much of how you feel, kind of hiding in the shadows (Or closet, whatever) because people suck isn't a great feeling. You will eventually find the right kind of people, who know and understand how you truly are. I only keep a tight knit group of friends around, mainly due to that. People suck.. majority of the time. Feel free to chat to me any time! Have a good one!
