I would have preferred a nice dinner and a heart to heart chat! I mean the bisexual thing doesn't bother me, but I do feel a little pissy about missing a nice dinner out!

otherlander (1000+ posts) Thu Oct-16-08 09:45 PMResponse to Reply #7 10. I don't like this thread. It starts off with expecting people who aren't hetero to make a big deal out of it, some kind of formal announcement/coming out/discussion about it. I mean, I never did that. I never "came out". If it comes up in conversation, I'll acknowledge that gender makes no difference to me in terms of whether or not I find someone attractive, but I'm not going to make a big announcement out of it any more than I would make a big announcement out of being a vegetarian or being an atheist or being Ukrainian.Then it continues with someone replying with "that must have been a shock!" I can see how someone killing a dog would be a shock. Or someone hating black people. Or someone cheating on you. But someone loving people? Eh, not so much.And then, of course, the obligatory "ugh," an expression of disgust, followed by a hug, as if to comfort you from the horrible fact of a family member being... Other. ( )Being bi really isn't that big of a deal. Well, it is a big deal in the sense that it involves love, which is one of the biggest deals there is. But that only makes it a big deal in the way that a man and a woman loving each other is also a big deal.
