So I guess with it being LGBT Pride Month, I should probably sound off. I tend not to be too loud about it- perhaps because the B in LGBT tends to get overlooked or, more often, dismissed. I’m Bisexual and happily so. No, it’s not a phase. No, I’m not just pretending for attention. No, it’s not just so I can feel like a special part of the rainbow. It’s just how I am and that’s just fine. Bisexuality is much more common than people think. There’s generally a lot of pressure to be one or the other. When you feel attraction to both sexes, it’s a hard place to be since you can’t really fit into the straight or the gay mold. In the end, most people end up just picking one and sweeping the rest of it under the rug so the representation is pretty slim. But hey, don’t worry. We’re out there all the same- even if we aren’t quite what you were expecting. Don’t be afraid to show your true colors, even when it’s a shade different than what people anticipated.
