It's Coming Out Day, so here goes.

[narya_flame]

I'm bisexual.

Until today I could count the number of people who know on one hand. I'm married to a cishet man and I've never had a relationship with a woman. I didn't want to deal with people asking me, "are you sure? How do you really know?" I was scared I wasn't entitled to my identity. I hated the idea that people might think I was putting it on for attention, or to feel special, or that it was "just a phase."

It's not a phase. I've known, deep down, since I was sixteen. I'm going to be thirty in January and it's time to be a big girl and call myself what I am.

I'm bi. I'm not scared any more.

Happy Coming Out Day <3

Thanks, Indy! <3

Hi Bisexual

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Happy Coming Out Day <3 <3 <3

[narya_flame]

Whoopsie, I should have known that would summon Sören!

Thank you <3 and thank you again for saying what you said.

[ex_flameandsong751]

You're welcome. I'm glad it helped, and I'm proud of you. *hugs*

"Hi Glad It Helped."

[narya_flame]

(Sören really is incorrigible...)

[ex_flameandsong751]

"Takk."

I think it’s an amazing thing for all people to just fully accept everything about themselves — I don’t mean if they are a serial killer or something like that, of course. But you know what I mean 🤗

Edenel says, him too :D

[narya_flame]

I don’t mean if they are a serial killer or something like that, of course.

🤣🤣🤣

Thank you 😊 *hugs*

[spiced_wine]

Lol, yes, I don’t consider that normal. I do consider any sphere of sexuality to be!

Hey, I'm bi too. :) I've had some of those self-doubt feelings too, but it is real, and it is important. I'm happy for you, that you feel comfortable saying it.

[narya_flame]

Thank you! :D I'm sure the self-doubt will reappear at various points, but I'm glad I've got to a point where I can say it.

Happy Coming Out! (Is that what one says?)
I appear to have no more rainbow-y icons than this one, so have a cupcake. :)

[narya_flame]

Apparently it is! And yay, thank you, cupcakes are awesome. (I have no rainbow-y icons either!)

[keiliss]

Never, ever let anyone tell you that you're not entitled to your identity. So happy for you that you've reached this place - happy Coming Out!

[narya_flame]

Thank you! <3 :D

[chantress]

<3 <3 <3!

[narya_flame]

[metimauresse]

I know we don't really talk, but I'm so happy for you! <3

[narya_flame]

Aww, thank you so much!

[oloriel]

Happy Coming Out!
You're braver than I am.

[narya_flame]

*hugs* thank you. If it helps, everyone I've told has been amazing and supportive (and there has been a lot of "we kind of knew already"). I appreciate not everybody is necessarily going to be that lucky though, and you've got to do what feels right for you <3

[oloriel]

It definitely is that way in my online communities! Offline, it would be more difficult, and the topic doesn't exactly come up on its own. So until it does, I'm probably just going to wait, even if it feels a little bit like a betrayal. >_>

[narya_flame]

It doesn't come up on its own, that's very true. Hugs and good luck, whatever you decide to do.

[oloriel]

Thank you! <3

[baileyboybee]

Happy Coming Out Day to you! Congrats. It's so important to be comfortable with yourself and not be scared to be who you are. Good for you!

[narya_flame]

Thank you! :D

[bunn]

A belated Happy Coming Out Day from me too!

[narya_flame]

Thank you! :D
