always_searching Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 So, it's National Coming Out Day and I'm a bi woman! In this thread feel free to either (1) come out or (2) share your coming out stories/inspirational stories. (Feel free to come out as "straight" and tell us your story!) All that being said, I don't know what's happened to me. I use to be so open about who I was (I was never "in the closet"), and since converting two years ago, I feel I've been pushed into the closet, because it's just assumed that since I'm Christian, I only like men, and, further, since I'm Catholic, I only like my future husband. Well, since I don't feel like I can "come out" to my friends/family, I thought I'd do it on here...
Stung Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 I have been pretty open on this site AND out in the world about having dated both men and women. Since it's far more common for me to feel attraction for men than for women, and I have only had long-term serious relationships with men, I consider myself closer to straight than bisexual on the Kinsey scale--but I'm not opposed to the bi label. I have, after all, asked women out on romantic dates and had sex with them, so I definitely don't consider myself completely straight, either. Most people assume I am completely straight, as I am in a monogamous heterosexual marriage and I have children. I haven't noticed much active gay/bi presence on this site so I'm not surprised this thread hasn't seen much action. I hope the day was successful out in the real world for scores of closeted youth, though. If it helps people be more true to themselves and open about their loves, I'm for it.
