I don't know what to say...

[Silverluna]

I sometimes feel embarrised or shy to talk with people who are open or more self accepting of themselves....Especially when they are openly lesbian....gay guys I don't have that problem....*shrug* maybe just me..maybe its just because I worry that if I tell them I am bi they will think less of me...like I am not a full lesbian...or less of a person for wanting things both ways.......Anyone else with this/these problem(s)?

You shouldnt have to feel that way, but yeah there are some lesbians will get all political on you for being bi.

my lesbian friends seem nice enough but I can't expect them to understand my feelings for some guy ...one minute and then some cute blonde girl the next....
I know so few open bisexuals....the ones I do know are too far away to have a lasting friendship with....or anything else...

You're only half-gay? We could call you dyke-atto.

Well I dont understand it either, but its your deal, not mine so I dont have to.
And thats how your friends ought to feel.

no no no, Luna.. you're a half-dyke like me. *grin*

And I understand what you're talking about. When I first came out to my friends, they were fine with it, but then I started hanging out with friends of friends who were lesbian, and COMPLETELY did not understand. They thought I was an opportunist, and they didn't appreciate that I just wanted to fuck anything that moved. WHich I didn't, but that's how they saw it.

MANY lesbians, however, understand that 1) It is your life to live, and 2) You must have gone through some turmoil to arrive in the middle. I know I've had some conversations with women who, though they don't understand that I 'can't pick', respect that I am really in it for love. I don't fuck every man or woman I see (very few of them, actually), and they know that I've loved both men and women alike.

In the end, no matter what queer or straight people think of you, what matters is how you think of yourself. Are you happy being bisexual? Does it make you feel content and whole? Does it make you feel like you're not repressing a part of yourself? If it does those things, then fuck everyone else... I mean.. You need to live your life, comfortable in your own shoes. Comfort rubs off, Luna.. when people see that you're at peace with your decision, they generally back off, realizing that it's truly what you want, and you're not just a pussy-cock chaser.

I have struck out with guys....girls well due to me living at home...haven't really been given that chance...

My parents are ultra straightlaced and proper...lol and I am not a wild child but I do toe the line more than most of my family would like...

Mulatto = child of a black and white couple, thus, "half white".

Thanks for the clarification, Never - I know what mulatto means, but I wasn't getting the reference!
