When I Came Out...

I think I knew I was bisexual for a while, but it took me time to piece it together because for me, I never really liked people. Crushes don’t happen very easily with me since I guess I’m a more logic over impulse person. Anyway, I asked her questions and stuff in the beginning of my high school career, because my sister was very close with me and someone I could always go to for anything really. When I first told her I thought I was bisexual, she didn’t believe me, not so much as it was not okay, but she just thought I was too young and inexperienced to really know what I felt (she was also in high school, so…not as accepting as she is now). I never really mentioned it again to my sister until last month (my sophomore year of college). I had finally gotten over my “don’t act on impulse” fear and finally dated a boy who’d been pursuing me. We had been dating for a few month, and when I would mention girls attractive or comment on how the rushing sorority girls were out, he would get uncomfortable…so I lied. Needless to say, that relationship took its course, but when I was chatting with my sister about everything  I just started asking her again about how she felt about other girls and stuff.
It got pretty deep, and needless to say, I just said one again “I think I’m bisexual”
She’s a trained therapist, so she was in her counseling mode at the moment. “Are you sure? It’s a hard transition and something difficult to figure out, I just wanna know if you’re still sifting through things or not”
All I could say was that I was sure and she just laughed. “You know, I kinda knew it already” she said.
Finally telling my sister had been the best decision of my life. Ever since she’s been so supportive and open to talk to me. She doesn’t get weirded out or anything, and being open with her has allowed me to be more open with others as well. She even gets angry when I tell her the lewd comments men make when I mention I’m bisexual (“Put them in their place!”)
Most people find it hard to believe I can be a virgin and bisexual, but…I know what I like, and I know I need the time to trust someone before I do anything. Being bi doesn’t mean you’re a sex crazed fiend, it just means that love doesn’t have to be towards one gender for you.
That’s how I confessed.
