I'm sick of my family treating me like dirt cos of me being bi?

Question

They accept that being a gay or lesbian is not a choice, but don't respect that bisexuality isn't as well. Pretty much every myth on this site is what they believe, and they openly tell me: http://www.uic.edu/depts/quic/bisandallies/myths.html For that reason alone i NEVER told them, but my mum found out rooting through my post a few years ago before i left home. They were important documents that were for MY eyes only, so i was pissed off enough about that, but then she kicked off and my older brother laughed in my face. I hate them both, but i love them as well. It's just they're both so arrogant that it doesn't matter whats in front of them, what they believe is right. What can i do? It's getting that bad that i don't want them near my daughter, for years i believed that i was making the choice to be hated by them and 'friends' Believing that i deserved their hate, just because they had me believe it is a lifestyle choice, but who would choose to be hated by their family, a family who respects gays, lesbians, transgendered etc, but not bi's.

Answer 1

Here's something for you to know. Most people are like your parents. Especially other parents. Almost every single straight person I've ever met believes that there is no "in between". These are the people that understand that it's not a choice, but don't know what it's caused by. It's been scientifically proven to be genetic. My parents are almost the exact same way as your parents, just a little bit worse. How could they be worse? Well, they tell me that I'm not really bisexual and that there is no such thing as bisexuality. They tell me I'm experimenting, even though I've known I was attracted to both genders my whole life. They think it has something to do with this girl that I liked for 6 months, until I realized that she was leading me on and using me. Thanks to the media's portrayal of bisexuality, as well as all the attention whore fakes (like the girl that used me), everyone thinks it's not true, or it's a phase, or it implies that we're whores. A lot of the bisexuals I know (including myself) still have their V-Cards. Me and my bisexual friends are all virgins. Some of us don't even like the idea of sex (not me, of course).



I told my mom recently that I was joining this support group at my school called the GSA (Gay Straight Alliance). It's a support group for people that are openly LGBT and for people that are supportive and accepting of gays, in a community that is very Conservative and Christian. The first thing she asked me was if I was gay or straight this week. I've tried explaining to her how someone can be bisexual, but she doesn't believe a word I say, or anyone else either. It's really pissing me off.



I'm not sure what this question is asking, so I don't know how to answer it other than saying that I can relate. There really is nothing that either of us could do. While people are still becoming less close-minded to the LGT community, we still have people that are close-minded to the B side of the community. All we can really do is continue to fight for gay rights, and try to get people to become smarter. The bad portrayal of Bisexuals is mainly due to people in the media making it look like they're whores, and making it look like it's a phase. If a bisexual person became famous, and didn't make it look like either of those things, we just might be able to get people to understand that there are actually real bisexuals in the world.

Answer 2

Because GOD said that a man should not take the place of a woman, and woman should not take the place of a man, referring to both a sexual act and marriage. This is why He destroyed the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. WE as a nation are in enough trouble as it is without Having This Burden placed upon us by people that can't make up their minds about the difference between what is right in GOD's eyes and what feels right for them at that moment. And these Gays and Lesbians are also trying to bring it into the Church, Into our schools, and even using Children in their Gay Rights TV commercials, trying to justify their actions through the love of an unknowing innocent child. WAKE UP PEOPLE ! Next, someone will probably say that it is ok to murder and rape too. Let's ban Guns while we are at it. Then Only the Criminals will have them. Lets all go and Hug trees and preach the gospel of global warming too. Next, someone will say that Christians are racist. Sounds stupid, Don't it? How far will you go to be politically correct? I love you all. I DON'T UNDERSTAND YOU, but I love you just the same. By the Way... Just how cold is it where you are?

Answer 3

are you old enough to move, that will keep them away from your daughter and you can also get away from them that way and cut off connections with them then find some other friends who you can talk to that seem as close as family

Answer 4

definitly cuz of ur bi



its best to move on (I know that sounds bad) and just stay with ur bf and daughter and eventually THEY WILL COME TO THEIR SENSES....... u have nothing to feel guilty about, and its true that family is important but there r exceptions of when u shouldn't tolerate them

Answer 5

It's because many people aren't that open minded that's why they refuse to understand that you can like both sexes.

Answer 6

It doesn't matter if it's a choice or not. There is nothing wrong with it and above all it's none of their business.

Answer 7

Deja vou, I swear I answered this already.

Answer 8

And yet again with the "poor me" card.



Get over yourself.



Vast numbers of people are estranged from their families for all sorts of reasons. Do what they do; get on with your life and stop whining.

Answer 9

maybe they are annoyed because it brings back bad memories of their own bi experiences which they had earlier in their lives.
