Since I was 19 years old, I have been keeping a closely guarded secret. It was something I felt that if I shared it with anyone, they would turn their backs on me. That secret was....I'm bi. I always thought of myself being straight, but I would always find myself slightly attracted to men as well as women (FYI: I consider myself 50/50. 50 percent gay, 50 percent straight). It went on like this for years. Finally, when I was 19, I decided that I was bi...but I couldn't tell anyone about it, not even my closest friends. I was scared. I was scared that people would push me away or call me a faggot or say that I was going to hell for being bi or gay. Not to mention, I live in a small town and nearly everyone who lives here is very conservative and can be homophobic. I want to be out as a bisexual man, but I'm afraid that I will end up having my family turn on me or I wind up losing friends over it because they won't except a bisexual man. Well, they're just gonna have to get over it. I'm bi and that's all there is to it. Accept it or reject it.
If you are really my friend, then you will accept me for who I am.
