MissJessicurr's blog: "I am bisexual"

When i was growing up i thought it was normal to like girls and boys in the same way. It seemed so natural to me that i never questioned it. Now that i am older people have such strong opinions on the matter of sexuality and that there way of thinking is right. I've been told by psychiatrists, acquaintances from school, and even family members that "liking the same sex is a sin" That god made a man and a woman for a reason. I've also been told that being bisexual isn't real. You can only like one sex or the other.

I'm sure many people have there stories about how they've been told there going to burn in hell because they are lesbian, gay, or bisexual. Or have had there fair share of violence and hate. This is the 21st century; I just don't see why we have to be put through such cruel treatment for our choice in life. That just because you like the same sex it makes you bad. You can't help who you fall in love with. It's not like we choose to purposefully be this way to piss people off.

I was lucky enough to have a mother who is also bisexual. I didn't find this out till i was older and decided to talk to my mother about my sexuality. I've learned a lot from her and i am glad to have someone who is supporting and someone who doesn't judge me. Being bisexual is just one of the many hardships I've had to deal with throughout life but i wouldn't change myself for the world. I've had many different reactions from people when they have found out that i am bisexual. And not all of them were bad; you just have to keep the right people in your life. If someone doesn't like you because of your sexuality then you don't need them in your life.

I used to go to a church for teens called freedom. Amber the wife of the church fell in love with me and we bonded over sharing our past and secrets. I had such a great time with everyone there; but when she found out that i was bisexual she was a completely different person. She said that i was going to burn in hell, and that i couldn't ever come back. I was so hurt by her words; I mean how can someone you were so close to say something like that and turn there back on you? But like i said not all of the reactions were bad.

My mother was happy for me and my friends were supporting. Even some of my friends came out about being lesbian, or gay, and even bisexual like me. I've had one of my boyfriend's friends fall over with his jaw dropped open. He said that he's never met a bisexual before and kept asking me questions about every little thing. Lol, so yes it can be difficult coming out about your sexuality but things will always get better. You just have to hold your head up and keep on going no matter what happens. Don't ever give up.

For what it's worth: it's never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There's no time limit, start whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people who have a different point of view. I hope you live a life you're proud of, and if you find that you're not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.
