It’s something I get asked about all the time. I answer those questions because I feel that bisexuality, in particular, is often misunderstood in a multitude of different ways.
I’m not insecure about my sexuality. In fact, being queer is one of the things I’m most certain of about myself.
Straight people don’t have to “talk about their straightness all the time” because heterosexuality is extremely common and widely understood. Bisexuality, however, is more rare, and many people hold many misconceptions and stereotypes about it.
As a bisexual person, when I encounter people who don’t understand what it’s like to be queer, I feel it’s my duty to “set ‘em straight,” so to speak.
P.S. If you don’t like that I talk about being queer a lot, you don’t have to read this blog! I think it’s pretty clear that I am who I am, I’m proud of who I am, and I’m not going to stop being who I am… so if that makes you uncomfortable in any way, it’s up to you to deal with it! (I don’t mean that to sound rude. It’s just the truth.)
