Is anyone else scared to come out as a bisexual?

I haven't come out to my parents yet, and I am terrified that they just won't believe me. Neither of them really believe that bisexuality exsits.


Some my bisexual friends from findbilover.com told me I should tell them. oh yeah.....my parents tend to have a "tiny hope" if they hear you are bisexual....they think that because we are bi, we really have a choice.....that someday we'll get rid of the gay part and marry the opposite sex.....
I mean it's certainly a possibility that we'll meet someone that we love and turn out to be the conventional opposite sex, and then the conventional marriage...great...but I still want people to acknowledge it, you know....like hello love the entire me, not half of me...

MY inferiority complex isn't as good as YOURS

I would tell them exactly what you said here.Go to the one who is most supportive of you first,and tell them how you feel.It will be easier to talk one on one than both of them at the same time.And I wouldn't try to make a huge deal out of it or become defensive,just tell them it's a part of your life you've come to realize you can't change,even if you wanted to,and you thought they ought to know.If you show a level of maturity and speak to each of them like an adult,they will likely take you seriously and respect your decision.Try to avoid accusatory terms such as "you said.." and "You don't get it",instead opting for "I feel you have pre-conceived notions" or "I feel we need to discuss the reality of being bi-sexual".It's less likely they will freak out if you don't jump on them for being a little close-minded.Good luck!

speak kindly, leave the rest to God.

Hi,

     Parents always hope that their children will turn out to be NORMAL human beings.  For the conservative parents, it is very difficult to comprehend the fact that their child turned out to be Bi-sexual.  You just have to be honest with them because they should be the ones to understand you and accept you as a person, no matter what the stigma it brings.

   Being a bi-sexual does not make one a bad person.  You have the right to be who you are as long as you don't impinge on the rights of others.

Take care and be brave to tell your parents.

I'm 13 and I once told my mother how one of my friends was bisexual and it was really awkward. She asked me if I was and I kinda just stood there for a second. Then I nodded yes. She didn't really talk to me much for the next couple days. She told me it was just a phase and that I would get over it. I told her that she was probably right, lying right to her face. I knew since I was about 11 that I was bisexual. All parents hope that they raise a hetero child. None of them really want to know that their child is gay/les/bi/trans, but they have to deal with it. Some parents don't care, some are just disappointed, and some disown their kids. If you think it's right, you should tell your parents, but if you think they'll go berzerk, wait a while.
