So lately at home I've been getting increasing frustrated with homophobic comments made by my family and even more frustrated that because they are unaware of my sexuality that this both deeply offends and hurts me. I've also in the past had problems with my boyfriend when it comes to accepting I'm bisexual and because of this that was sorta swept under the rug and avoided at all cost.
Tonight was particularly frustrating at home and I didn't have anyone else to talk to so I called my boyfriend and just completely unloaded. Though I didn't come out and scream I'M BISEXUAL I did emphasize that I have been struggling with my emotions and how hurtful homophobic comments from my parents have been. That when he jokes around about a girl being attractive and I agree that I'm not joking around and no matter what anyone wants from me I'm not changing for anybody. This is who I am.
The twist came when he was ok with it. After many fights about it and months of silence because I was afraid, I finally had a conversation with my boyfriend about my sexuality and he was maybe not thrilled but he was accepting of it. I'm not sure he'll ever know what that meant to me, but it meant the world. I'm really hoping that this could in the long run lead to a new level of honesty that in the past I haven't been able to achieve because I have been afraid of what he would say or think of me.
All that matters to me with or without him though is that this is who I am. Though I may not have come out to many people I am a bisexual female, I know that and I am completely comfortable in my own skin. I have come a long way in three years.
