Even though its true, I mean there are other analogy’s that are counter examples such as the concept of yin and yang. Besides, it’s not their fault if they are bi, or if some1 is interested in the same sex, or maybe even pan sexual. I wouldn’t give a shit if some1 has a strange fetish of toilet paper.. (just don’t anything too into my face and I’m fine
They are just being idiots (I can assume you know this) and can’t face the fact that they might not have grandchildren *at least your not gay? I mean if your bi then you could get married normally* What if you try finding something bad they did and use that against them? How about torturing them with the fact that there is something wrong with THEM and doesn’t deserve to be parents? Or how about saying it’s their fault for giving you a gene or raising you like that (its either nature or nurture, or both)?

In all honesty that sucks.

I know it sounds stupid, but your best bet may be to just tell them that you’ve “changed your mind” about being bi. Judging from their reaction they think its a lifestyle choice and not something your born with and can’t change (wrong…), and its unlikely that they’ll change their minds soon. In time I think they’ll see, but not right away. Wait till you get away to college. And on your own. Then be yourself. I know it sounds awful but its probably safest for you, you don’t want to do anything to jeopardize your safety or future (if your parents only fund your education if your straight for example).

And in response to others, a belief that things are either black or white is just naive, especially when it comes to something abstract and not necessarily easily definable. Although it’d be much easier for society if we just had the gays and the straights, life just isn’t that way,; instead life is complicated, confused, mixed, in sexuality and so many other things as well.

A lot of people claim that there is no such thing as bisexual. They’re just gays who are too insecure to come fully out. Or they’re gay and they’re clinging onto useless hopes of having a natural family. Or they’re just sex craving Sodomites who will be willing to do it with anything and everything.
Bullshit.

I’ve have bisexual friends who live out a better moral lifestyle than most “straight people.” I have doubts that there’s even a true heterosexual out there. Even if its in the form of a simple man-crush (that feeling of “OK if I were a girl I would totally want this dude” or “this dude is such a great guy/good looking, I’m jealous)

In fact I have more respect for bisexuals than i do for homosexuals. Do you know how much crap those people get? They get the usual crap from the super religious, but then they also are getting some of the crap I’m seeing in this thread from normal members of the straight community and even to an extend members of the gay community as well. To know yourself well enough to recognize that your are attracted to both, and to be OK with that and the social ramifications of it is really admirable. Though I will admit, I don’t hold those who use bisexuality as an excuse for more sex or to “Try something new/rebel” in very high regard, but I think portraying all bisexuals as this is rude and inappropriate.

Meh. Sorry I got all gabby size posted on you all. It’s an issue I take personally though, I have a lot of friends who would consider themselves in this category. Again, more directly on topic, just give it some time. Your parents do love you. In their minds, they’re trying to help you (they might see bisexuality as a path to damnation or something similar). If you stay true to what you know you are, you’ll turn out OK eventually and hopefully your parents will begin to see your side. It’ll suck for awhile, and don’t do anything stupid (you do NEED your parents until you’re out of high school…that’s why I suggested laying low or lying in my first paragraph).

If you ever need anything, feel free to PM me…I know I don’t stop by the clan much anymore and have all but quit runescape but I still care deeply for each of you. Know that you are loved even if your home life sucks. Don’t be afraid to talk to some friends at school or even a trusted teacher about it either (if you don’t go to a religious-affiliated school, otherwise you may be bumping into trouble). Good luck.
