Hey wonderful people of lj. I'm Lauren, I'm 21 and I am bisexual. I am attracted to men and women (of course, duh!). Why is this so hard for people to accept.

My friends/family all seem to just 'forget'. Either that or they think I'm a straight girl with a bit of an edge. Even my gay friends don't acknowledge that I'm queer. I couldn't be happier with my sexual orientation and I don't feel the need to flaunt it, but I'd like it if people ackowledged it, you know?

I have one friend who is a lesbian. Last week we were discussing our DVD collections and I mentioned; Tipping the Velvet, Sugar Rush, Boys Don't Cry, Lost and Delirious etc and she said "Are you sure you're not gay" and I felt like screaming THAT'S THE EFFING POINT!.

If I had to place myself on the Kinsey Scale I'd be a 4. Which is defined as "Predominantly homosexual, but more than incidentally heterosexual" so definitely not Katy Perry "I Kissed a Girl".

How do you deal with this?

Folks on our local bi list seem to like this clip. I'll warn you that I have no idea what the audio is like, I haven't heard it, as my laptop doesn't do sound.

Description says: "Short experimental documentary of the bisexual comedy show, Bi The Way...They're Funny, put on by Erin Judge and Sean Graham."

Is it possible to be in love with two people?
I dont mean little crushes either, i mean full out in love would die for both of them want to be with both of them love.

I "think" im in love with a guy, and a girl. =/
& im going insane.

While they only mention gays and lesbians, if you're in the military and bisexual, to them, well... you know.  Anyway, here's some slight hope for people like our family!

Im so confused it upsets me.. No matter what i couldn't/wouldn't brake up with my man..
What if i relationship with a women would be amazing?..

So, I find myself a bi woman in a relationship with another woman, and having to hide it from my employers. If anyone finds out we will both be fired and deported... (Because same sex relationships are evil. Duh.) But I'm finding it more and more difficult to deal with being closeted all the time. Usually we can at least get away with holding hands in crowded shopping areas (people don't notice so much when it's crowded, and since we're blatantly foreigners, people tend to assume it's just something that foreigners do) but for instance, on days when I don't change out of a work t shirt before going out because I don't have time, we have to be RIDICULOUSLY over-cautious, lest someone see the logo and call our employers because they saw us holding hands. (While our employers would probably also play it off as "they're friends", I'm not as much of a touchy-feely person as she is, so they might think it's odd, even though they all pretty much assume we're "best friends".)

Anyway, at home I'm pretty much out, so the closetedness is driving me more than a little crazy. how does one deal with this stuff?? I mean, I know back in the day all LGTBQA people had to be closeted, but now that I'm not at home... doing it here is kinda painful. Does anyone else have this sort of problem?? (Maybe not with the deportation part, that's kinda obscure...) but yeah... is there anyone else who has the "I have to be super careful" problem and is driven crazy by it??

Current Mood: aggravated

I like guys. Just not guys together... which is strange.

I guess i really like women.

( I guess the entire chocolate wrestling thing was taken outta context.. The part of it being bi was the guys wrestling.. I didn't mention that cuz, guys aren't appealing to me. But Forget that subject.

Its too naughty and out of control. Considering i live in vegas and these things go on in hotels all summer long. )

I tried this bisexual site.. I wish it didn't end up costing like 15$ a month.. But i might sign up for it. It seemed pretty awesome.
But i didn't know if anyone on here knows of any other bisexual web sites? Like a dating site?

Soo Happy its saturday. hope everyone had a great 4th of july!!
