I'm bi, but i haven't told anyone I know because i don't want to be labelled as 'brave' and 'part of the LGBT community'
Just be yourself, and live your life. You are not obligated to join some sort of movement. I myself choose to subscribe only to my own bowel movements. You do you, baby!
1 CORINTHIANS 6:9-10
Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
Yup I'm there too. I'm gay and I try to distance myself from all that bullshit.
I'm tired of the politics. There's nothing left to achieve in The West anymore, we're done and any pretense of "activism" here is a performance of fake morality. You really want to call yourself an "activist"? Grow a pair and start supporting gays in Islamic countries/communities, Africa and Russia. That's where it's needed, not in San Francisco or even in Texas where nobody fucking cares in 2018.
I'm no fan of Christianity especially when it tries to involve itself in politics, but it's easy to take on Christians when they hold no political power anymore. That's not "brave" at all.
Tell them you're bi and ignore the LGBT community like I do. They are no better than homophobes.
Yes I think it's normal. I am a openly bi male, I don't broadcast I am bi but I don't deny it if asked. I agree everyone should be treated the same no matter what their sexual orientation is. But I do not agree with getting special treatment or ramming your beliefs and orientation on others who don't agree. Everyone has a right to believe what they want. I have a couple of friends who know I am bi, they are straight we are still friends.
People are so ready to label others! Sexuality is not that simple. You can't just put people into neat little piles, we are complex beings that can, and sometimes desire to participate in taboo activities. how many times have you heard pinnacles of society found indulging in imorral acts? people are good actors, and i think more are involved in these activities that let on.
WHo you are is totally your business and you dont need to share that with anyone if you so please. ALso, in my opinion,till recently, the LGBTQ community was not extremely welcoming of true bisexuals and regarded them as pseudo-gays. I heard this first hand from a gay guy and his lesbian friend when we were talking abt sexuality , nature vs nurture etc, they didnt know I was bi and thought I was straight.
I am Pansexual, and I think that you will find that people won't see you as brave or cowardly either way, they will just see you as a person. I don't know much about you, but me personally, I find that I am at my happiest when I am surrounded by those that have been through what I have, and can relate to things more than a straight person could. It is not like you have now officially "joined the LGBTQ+ community" because you just came out or something, you already are part of the LGBTQ+ community because it is the struggle that unites us. Regardless of whether two people are friends or not, they are both still in the community, and in that way it is no different than being in any other type of community or social group. The only difference is now you are a part of something bigger than yourself, and in numbers and good relations, there is power.
Just play it out, and I can guarantee, you will wish you had come out sooner, I know I do.
As always, stay strong guys (and gals') <3
I feel romantically/physically attracted to all genders, however I dont feel the need to label myself, although I do of course suport anyone that wants to label themselves as a part of the LGBTQQIAAP community.
I get where you're coming from. There's a stigma to being any kind of gay that make people treat you different or like you're special. You just want to be normal, experience a little of both worlds without anyone thinking twice about how different you are. There are people who have removed themselves from the community because they have perpetuated these stigmas about anyone who's gay. That they are flashy, speak in a weird voice, and love Beyonce. I've got a gay friend in the military who was the first person I've met who wanted to simply be gay. Just gay. I used to think it was all the same but there's so many little in-groups and you're not the first to want to be distanced from the overall community where you wear rainbow and protest Chic-fil-A by making out with your gay lover in front of the place
