Question Is it OK to be bisexual or gay?

Is it OK to be bisexual or gay? Should it be something to accept or to something to be ashamed of? I just wanna see everybody's thoughts on this...because I think I might be bisexual myself

What you do in the privacy of your own home behind closed doors is YOUR business. The problem is when people's activities cross the line and affect innocent people.

Accept yourself for whatever you are. Just be discrete and don't assume everybody else is the way you are. If you are unsure of the way you feel sexually, talk to a counsellor. It is absolutely OK to be whatever and whoever you are!

yes. it's definitely ok. celebrate who you are.

try to find an advocacy group in your area - if you tell me where you are from, i'll look it up for you. these groups will be filled with people struggling with the same problems and can advise you of your rights. being gay or bisexual is nothing to be ashamed of, and it is nothing to hide.

my friends tell me that disclosure is one of the hardest parts of their lives - good for you for taking action.

If you want to experiment with someone of the same sex, then there's nothing wrong with that. And you may find out later that you prefer the opposite sex and that this is just a phase you are going through. But like Tony said, be discrete about it. A lot of adolescents go through a phase where they feel attracted to the opposite sex, but as they mature it just goes away and they realize that it wasn't for them. I don't see anything wrong with experimentation, just do what makes you comfortable.

This comment spawned off a new discussion which has been moved into its own thread.
