While my mother is extremely supportive of gay rights, she gets in a "stay the fuck away from me" mood whenever the topic of my bisexuality comes up. Note that this is the same woman with a gay son. Also note this conversation: #QUOTE# Mother: Please be a lesbian. #QUOTE# ZZW: How the hell could I ''make'' myself be a lesbian? #QUOTE# Mother: Marry a woman. #QUOTE# ZZW: I would still be attracted to men too. #QUOTE# Mother: Attraction doesn't count. #QUOTE# ZZW: '''That's what sexuality is.'''

I blame this annoyingly common belief for my taking so long to realize I am bi. For all of my teenage years, I was in denial that my crushes on girls were actual crushes, thinking along the lines of my feelings for Alice can't be more than friendship because my last crush was on Bob and was definitely a crush. IGotBetter when I went to college and got a laptop where I could search the internet for answers without worrying about my family finding the search history. Now I am a proud bi woman slowly attempting to reeducate those around me about bisexuality.

I had classmates that just flat-out said I was wrong when I claimed Freddie Mercury was possibly bisexual and not gay, and also questioned if anyone could be bisexual.

One of my former friends at one point claimed that while women could be bi (and that a woman being bi was totally hot), men who identified as bi were just gay and kidding themselves. I am a closet bisexual. Did I mention he was a former friend?

I ran into this as well - unfortunately with my ''bisexual'' sister. Then again, this was the same sister who told me that I would "grow out of it" when I came out to her. I think my sister has some issues... Also, the same sister's friend believes that it is literally/physically impossible for a man to be bisexual, whereas women can be. I think it just may have to do with this friend getting turned off by teh ghey and that in American white middle-class culture the Penis is God.

I once discussed my love life and the love lives of some of my friends with a therapist under the apparently mistaken impression that professional discretion extended to sexual orientation. When I brought up a bisexual friend, the therapist interrupted to inquire, doubtfully, whether my friend wasn't just unsure of what she wanted and in a stage of questioning. This was a ''former'' therapist.

While most of my friends are cool with the idea of Bisexuality, my mother has the hardest time with the concept. After many discussions with her about my sexuality I'm still fairly certain that she thinks that my having a boyfriend means I've "decided" I'm gay. Bisexuality just doesn't seem to be a concept that she can grok.

My girlfriend says that bisexuals are just disgusting whore-people, you are either gay or straight. Then she says she's a lesbian. I have yet to decide if that is a compliment or an insult to my masculinity.

When I came out as Bi, people tended to ask me "Are you sure you're not just turning into a lesbian?" or "Are you jsut using that as a cover so you won't feel weird about being a lesbian?" It really pissed me off because I do have a boyfriend that I seriously love, and people think that just because I said I'm BI means i don't really love him or are jsut in denial. It's who I am, not some cover story.

I came out as bi to my mother. She said she didn't believe in bisexuality and that I was confused because I'd never dated. She does believe in homosexually but believes it's a choice and that if I did like girls, she would have noticed when I was little. I've never brought up my bisexuality again. In her defence, she has assured me that if I did get in a relationship with a woman, while she wouldn't approve, she'd still love me and wouldn't say anything bad about the woman.

I'm pretty much omni-sexual and hang out with a pretty large group of similar folks. Most of our collective friends don't bat an eyelid at this, but there was one occasion where someone asked something along the lines of "what the hell, you were kissing a guy last week!" Response: "Yeah? And?" "Did you change your mind or something?" "Yeah, I decided I liked kissing this person more". The someone asking the question seemed incapable of wrapping their mind around the idea that someone could be bi- you're gay or you're not, no exceptions.

I kind of did this to myself for several years. Yes, I was quite confused throughout middle and high school. A couple years ago, however, I finally realized that yes, I ''am'' bi, and I'm happy like this.

I forgot that I was closeted to a bunch of my friends, and came out by accident over IM. The idea of male bisexuals who aren't faking it absolutely blew one of my (straight) friend's minds. She didn't see anything odd about female bisexuals, but... I still don't quite understand her reasoning.

Played straight (ohohohoho) in my high school. I'm the only bisexual she knows of there. Well, there's my former best friend, who I think is doing it just because of the trend, and another pansexual girl who moved away. It sure is lonely.

My mother has expressed the view that homosexuality is a-ok, but apparently doesn't believe in bisexuality. Meanwhile, roughly 75% percent of my social circle identify as bisexual, with another 5-10% being "flexible heterosexuals".

I finds myself more annoyed by a chronic inability among my friends to distinguish between the terms "bisexual" and "polyamourous" or "non-monogamous". Statements like "I could never be with a bisexual, I would never share my partner with someone else" are bad enough, but when people claim "I can't be monogamous because I'm bi" I wants to start punching.

When I have trouble explaining my orientation to bigots (or even to particularly stubborn people who just haven't heard the term before), she stops herself from getting too frustrated by reminding herself that "at least you're not coming out as bi." Seriously, of all the major orientations bisexuals seem to get the worst deal.

I met a group of people at a Ladytron show once, including a really cute gay guy. When I told them I was bi, they insisted that I should "make up my mind," and that I was "cheating". The guy was hot enough though that I still didn't mind hooking up with him though.

I took a long time to accept that I was bisexual, and when I finally admitted it to myself I was afraid to tell my friends who I'd told I was gay because I was afrad they would think I just claimed to be gay just for the attention.

I was confused for years, wondering if I was straight or a lesbian, but slowly came to accept that my attractions to certain members of both genders were undeniable. I don't plan on coming out publically until I'm at least out of high school and have moved out of home and away from my slightly homophobic mother. I'm already TheUnFavourite, no need to add fuel to the fire.

I was briefly forced to share a rented house with a Psycho Lesbian who firmly believed that bisexual women were merely lesbians in denial. Unfortunately, she assumed that I was a lesbian upon finding out about the existence of her ex-girlfriend, then proceeded to throw an epic, months-long hissy fit upon meeting my current boyfriend. Memorable phrases from the hissy fit included "You're betraying your fellow women", "But you like girls, you can't like a man", "bisexuals are just lesbians who are too wimpy to admit it", and finally, "if you like men, you should go back to the kitchen and make me a sandwich, b*** ". Needless to say, I moved out.

I know at least two psychiatrists who flat-out deny that bisexuals exist. One of them even calls it "mere indecisiveness". Head. Desk.

Years of jokes about my sexuality came to a head a couple of months after I broke up with my first girlfriend. My mum (perpetuator of most of the jokes) went to make a gay joke, then started to correct herself, realising 'You've had a girlfriend, obviously you aren't gay'. When I suggested that I could be bisexual, '''her head imploded'''.

I am thought of as bisexual or lesbian by most of my social circle, though I ''myself'' do not believe that bisexuals exist. Then again, I also refuse to acknowledge the existence of heterosexuals and homosexuals (but not asexuals). There are humans that experience sexual arousal, and humans who do not. '''''Gender, and the preference of gender, are merely illusions.'''''

No one in my theatre group believed I was bisexual until I started seriously dating a girl, and was the one who got dumped (as opposed to me dumping her). Please to note that said theatre group was about 60% gay men, 40% fag hags. It always gets me up in a dander when gay men tell me that there's no such thing as another sexual orientation.

I used to constantly confuse people when I explained she was asexual, but found both genders equally interesting. Now I tell people I'm bisexual but not interested in relationships. It still confuses people. There's no way to win.

Way back in middle school I really, really, really wanted a certain girl in my class to like me and be my friend. In retrospect, I had an enormous flaming crush on her. The rest of the class figured out that I like girls long before I did, so I took crap for being the class dyke among a million other things. My parents decided I needed to be in therapy since I was depressed, and while I really liked my therapist, one of the things she told me was that there's no such thing as bisexuals. They're one or the other and haven't made up their minds yet. At the time I didn't think of myself as bi, so I didn't exactly feel badly about myself because of it. But I remember thinking that it was a really strange thing to say. I mean... it's not like whether you want your hair long or short. You're attracted to whoever you find attractive no matter what your rational mind says. What is there to make your mind up about here?

"Way back in middle school I really, really, really wanted a certain girl in my class to like me and be my friend." Ha, the first signs of my bisexuality were exactly the same. I actually considered it for a while (after previously having crushes on boys, so I knew I wasn't a lesbian), but when even my liberal, pro-LGBT parents reacted oddly to my hints that I wasn't completely straight, I decided there was no way that I could be out in my conservative middle school. My high school was more LGBT-accepting but still, the only people out as ''bisexual'' were the really promiscuous girls who everyone suspected were really straight and just kissing girls to titillate guys. Gays were respected, but bisexuals were not, so I suppressed it. It wasn't until college and discovering ''TheLWord'' that I decided there was no denying it anymore, I am a switch-hitter.

I have dated two boys before, had a huge crush on my (female) best friend for the longest time, and am now dating a girl. My mother got very upset at the last bit when I told her, because said mother doesn't believe in bisexuality. In fact, I consider myself pansexual, not bi, with a preference for girls.

I never gave it much thought until recently, but among people I know it tends to be No Homosexuals rather than NoBisexuals. With the exception of one friend that openly identifies as gay, all of my friends are either straight or extremely open minded.

I was just trying to talk to my mother about how sexuality is fluid and how my generation is rather fascinated with that (and our love for StupidSexyFlanders). She just said, "Sexuality is '''not''' fluid. I don't know many bisexuals and I don't want to. You're either one or the other--hopefully the one. Sometimes you scare me." I was actually rather crushed. I'm straight with a few exceptions, but '''wow'''. I wanted to ask her if she would love me if I was gay, but I held my tongue.

I have a friend whose boyfriend told her that she wasn't bisexual because she had only ever been with men, that she only said she was bisexual to be different, and that everyone was either gay or straight. Being bisexual myself, I was not amused.

My AbusiveParents chewed me out when I came out as bi, claiming that there was no such thing and that I'd "Even have sex with an animal." CompletelyMissingThePoint, anyone? (As an aside, I considers it my personal CrowningMomentOfAwesome that I finally told them off for their abuse and close-mindedness, ''loudly'', thereby humiliating them in front of the entire restaurant where they had loudly lambasted a gay couple sitting near us and quietly holding hands.)

My mother still thinks that ''homo''sexuality is a choice, so I have no interest in seeing how she would respond to hearing that I'm ''pan''sexual and pan-romantic. (What the hell should gender have to do with who I cares about?) My friends seem to get it, (then again, half of my friends are lesbians or female-favoring bisexuals), but everyone else gives me a response akin to "What else is there? Animals?". I've simply decided to start describing myself as "bi" in public, though I do still get the NoBisexuals treatment, it's not nearly as bad.

I, when divulging my sexuality to people, generally have to say something along the lines of, "I'm bisexual. Yes, really bisexual, not just gay and half in denial, I really do like both guys and girls". Interestingly, straight people seem more accepting of the concept than gay people, who will often still believe me to be gay in disguise.

I am still a bit ticked off by the fact that my teacher at ''College'' level, while talking about demographics and voting, mentioned two possible sexualites. Granted, he also lumped Waldorf and Montissori together, but still.

I was advised by my own mother that my bisexuality was simply an attention ploy. Worth noting that this was long before the "kekekek I kiss women!" faux bisexual fad. Said mother has since apparently hoped it has slipped into the ether since I've been in a straight relationship for five years. Apparently she missed my seven year relationship with a woman in college and after.

I got this treatment from my cousin, who immediately started explaining that bisexuality is technically non existent, it being nothing more then a phase of a gay person coming to terms with his sexuality, and lasts a few years at most. Contrary to what I experienced, being bisexual for as long as I can remember, and only going exclusively straight because I heard people say that men liking men is wrong. Awkwardness ensued and I decided to drop the act at the age of 19. That was 3 years ago. Still liking boys and girls to the same degree.

I am in the middle of a crisis involving my sexuality, and was on a forum when someone outright refused to acknowledge the existence of bisexuals.

A reaction to KamichamaKarin I once read went like this: #QUOTE# "That girl pretends to be a guy. The redhead is BOTH gay AND straight. Is everyone in Japan this messed up?"

I'm taking a psych class in high school, and originally thought our textbook was pretty liberal (not in the political sense, the social sense) and down to earth, which was cool, since psychology has been used to justify all sorts of bigoted crap. Then I got to the section on sexual orientation, which was very nice to homosexuality (don't get me wrong, that was heartening), and then defined sexual orientation as "an attraction to either one's own sex or the opposite sex." I looked in the index, glossary, read the rest of the chapter, and there is not one mention of bisexuality in the entire book! In middle school I had crushes on both genders but nobody told me that there was such a thing as bisexuals. I was majorly confused. Where do people get off ignoring an entire orientation? It's not harmless; it's not a matter of opinion; confused & naive teenagers often end up ignoring all sources of authority and just going on the internet and risking mild trauma while having to determine reliability of various websites and viability of various theories for themselves, because the authority only endorses theories which are completely inapplicable to their basic experiences. Thank God for TheOtherWiki. Rant over.

I was single for the entirety of my non-college school years, and despite that, decided I was bisexual. This is due to the attraction I felt to both males and females, and having loved a woman and liked a man at the same time. Despite my lack of experience at the time, I felt this was enough. I was recently in a wonderful relationship with a great guy, and my sister said, "Ariel, you can't like girls anymore. You have a boyfriend now. That means you're straight." Face, meet palm. She seems not to understand the meaning of '''bi'''sexual.

Not only DanSavage, but one of my high school acquaintances (I refuse to describe anyone from back at that hellhole a "friend") argue that whilst women can be bi, men cannot. Maybe the politicization of sexual orientation debates has made people think in a WithUsOrAgainstUs manner? As for me, I think Kinsey Was Right about the subject.

Dan Savage seems to acknowledge the existence of male bisexuality these days - although he still spews lots of other biphobic bullshit.

I isaman, and once had a conversation that went like this: #QUOTE#'''Generally Polite Girl''' [speaking to her and group]: [Rude joke about bisexuals.]\\ \\ '''Tropers/RedWren''' [stunned and insulted]: I'm bisexual.\\ '''GPG''': Really? Have you ever been with a girl?\\ '''Tropers/RedWren''': No, and I've never been with a guy either...\\ '''GPG''': [considering glance] I think you're straight, and once you get with a girl you'll realize it.\\ '''Tropers/RedWren''': stare]\\ '''GPG''' [suddenly mortified]: Oh, you're not gay, are you! ::So apparently it was okay to call me straight if I'm bi, but not if I'm gay. I mean, goodness. I might get offended.

I have been told countless times that bisexuals don't exist. I am bisexual - not bi-curious, and definitely not confused. I have kissed enough girls and guys to know that I am attracted to both. (Actually, I figured this out when I was in grade school, but thought it was weird and that I would "grow out of it". I haven't.) I have been told this by my friends, and by random classmates (when the debate about sexuality somehow became a discussion in class). I am attracted to guys, but I'm attracted to girls more... And my parents, when I came out to them recently, insisted (and still do) that I am gay. It drives me absolutely crazy - to the point where I do not bring up the subject of boyfriends/girlfriends with my parents. Thankfully, though, it has been getting better recently. My parents are at least willing to listen to me on the subject (if they ask). Although, it might explain why I've never really cared too much about having a boyfriend...

My girlfriend often makes this assertion. Funnily enough, I was more or less out when we started going out, and her previous boyfriend was out as bi as well (in that particular broad social circle only about 30% of men are straight). However, given that she is as emphatic about her sexuality as a Baptist preacher, there is some doubt about whether she really believes this, or if she is actually trying to convince herself.

I fear I may have rushed into declaring herself a lesbian because of this trope. I'ms most obviously attracted to females, but has some lingering attraction to males. "Bi" has the poor connotations of not being able to hold down a relationship and just overall being a flirt. I, over the course of a year, went from straight, to straight with a crush on a girl, to bi, and then very swiftly to homosexual. I myself doesn't know if bisexuality exists or not, only that it'd be so much easier if it weren't for the stereotype pressuring me to figure out one way or the other.

I had a math teacher back in 11th grade who believed that bisexuality was only an excuse for men to cheat on their wives with men. I know this since he decided to rant about it in class one day (as opposed to his more normal off-topic rants about football and pork, but that is another trope). No surprise, I walked out of class. Said teacher tried to complain to the assistant principal about it, but after asking me for my side of the story, the assistant principal just gave the teacher a blank look and told him to stay on topic while teaching class. I was later moved to another math class.

I have one friend who insists for whatever reason that bisexuality is just a stage and that all those who identify as "bisexual" are gonna turn out gay. Particularly annoying, especially since a bisexual friend was there when she went on a tirade about it, said friend knows perfectly well that I have a crush on another friend who's bi...and said friend is the one who's giving me doubts that I'm straight.

I also applied this trope to a friend she knows. She has relationships with both so naturally should be "Bi" sexual. I still call her a lesbian though.

My sister in-law is like this, to the point that she keeps calling me a lesbian.

I suspect this trope is the reason why it took me so long to figure out I'm bisexual. I have never denied that bisexuality exists, (and I have several bisexual friends), but I believed that I was straight for more than eighteen years, because as soon as some part of me started wondering if maybe I was attracted to girls, another part of me started going off about the fact that I was more attracted to guys. It was strange, because while I rationally recognized bisexuality as a sexual orientation and accepted it in others, I irrationally refused to accept/acknowledge it in myself. When it finally hit me that I've had almost as many crushes on girls that haven't lead to anything as I've had crushes on guys that haven't lead to anything and that that's perfectly okay... *facepalm*

I am a bisexual woman... who generally doesn't tell anyone, regardless of their gender, because I just doesn't want to deal with all the unwanted attention and assumptions that go with it. Straight men assume it means I'm some wild child who's into threesomes and/or they can watch me have sex with a woman (um, NO); lesbians (and even some GAY MEN!) assume it means I'm just some slutty toy for straight guys -- even though, in most respects, I'm practically a nun. There are probably quite a few others like me who just keep quiet about it and let people think what they want.

My friend and I are both gay, and said friend does not believe in bisexuality. Yet he recently revealed that his boyfriend has had full-on sex with women in the past, but insists that he's 100% gay, just "easily turned on". I'm skeptical, as I could never go anywhere near rhubarb crumble.

I, who am bisexual and basically out to everyone but her grandparents, only encountered this with my father and brother. The former, before knowing that I have any interest in girls as well as guys, expressed on multiple occasions that he was okay with people being straight or gay, and understands that it's not a choice, but thought that bisexual people just couldn't choose, or wanted attention. I had to very gently explain that I'm 'bi-flexible' (which was a much easier way to say that I just barely lean hetero). To my dad's credit, he took it really well, even though he openly claims he doesn't understand how someone can be attracted to men and women.

My brother, on the other hand, still doesn't quite grasp that I'm bisexual. Even though I routinely express interest in both men and women on television, I've had to reaffirm for him that, no, I'm not a lesbian, and yes, I do like men. It never seems to occur to him that bisexuality is an option. Thank god my friends were more perceptive than him.

"I'll believe you're bisexual once you've banged a girl. Until then, you're gay." - Dude I know. After this, I wouldn't dare call him a "friend".

I had a little argument with my brother about this. He kept insisting that if you liked people of the same gender, then you were gay, even if you liked those of the opposite gender, therefore, gay and bi are the same. No matter how many times I told him that is contradictory, he stood his ground.

A subset of this trope resulted in my having to explain once that asking if someone has a boyfriend(s), girlfriend(s), or both is not because one is of the opinion that bisexuality means a roar rampage of sex but to include also those that have non-monogamous relations along side varied sexualities.

Frowny face! Hate it when this happens. One of my older sisters disowned me after finding out about the RomanticTwoGirlFriendship at the time, saying that girls (especially other bisexual girls) tend to be very cruel and manipulative when it came to commitment and romance. I asked her how she could possibly have known about such a thing, since the sister is hetero, married, and has 2 kids. Sister blushes very deeply, and walks away without another word.

My...erm...fuck buddy is bisexual. Although he says that I am a case of IfItsYouItsOkay and he mostly dates girls (oddly enough, all of his former girlfriends ID'ed as ''lesbian''), the strong reaction to gay porn as well as straight and lesbian porn says otherwise. Oddly, because of this trope, I ''prefer'' bisexual men, because they tend to be more accommodating of my situation, as well as appreciating my being a YuriFanboy and ''not'' thinking that HetIsEw, unlike a lot of gay-ID'ed men he's met. Though I'm never going to tell my mother, because she's convinced that "bisexual" is a code word for "disease-ridden whore".

I have never met a true Bisexual. Every single one so far has been a promiscuous (ie: has lots of casual sex) person who only dates the opposite sex but occassionally has sex with the same sex. That is not a bisexual, though its definitely not straight. I think we should have a new word so that one describes people who date and have sex with the same sex (which is what bisexual should mean) and those who are mostly straight, but still make out or masturbate or have sex with members of the opposite sex (not straight, but not truly bisexual).

Technically, if they're sexually-attracted to both sexes they ''are'' bisexual. They may not be biromantic, which is when you desire ''relationships'' with both sexes. But if the sexy feelings are there for both, then they're bisexual. You don't need to be 50/50 to be bi; it's actually relatively rare, in fact. Also there ''are'' times for what you describe - "bicurious" and "heteroflexible." There's also the Kinsey scale, which measures your degree of heterosexuality vs. homosexuality, with 0 being completely straight and 6 being completely gay. Your friends sound like they fall in at 1 or 2.

I know a lot of bisexual girls on dating sites identify as gay, because they a) are mainly on there to meet women (since, with 90-some percent of the population being heterosexual, it's much easier to find a straight person to date than a gay or bi person IRL), and b) because of all the unwanted attention they get from certain (mainly) straight men who think "bisexual" means "kinky" or "looking for a threesome" (newsflash: just because someone is attracted to both sexes doesn't mean they want them both at the same time). It varies, though, in how helpful it is, considering that even a lot of lesbians get harassed on these sites by the same dudes, who think that women who don't want penis just haven't met the right one. This bi girl perseveres because she doesn't want to rule men out, but more importantly, because she's proud of her identity and it's easy enough to keep the slobbering Neanderthals at bay anyway.

Listing yourself as a lesbian when a bi female has some definite problems if believing in NoBisexuals is a definite turnoff to you--and there's unfortunately just as many lesbians who think bisexual women are either lesbians-in-denial or straight women out to experiment as there are gay men who believe the same about bisexual men.

Exactly. And that's why I don't do it, personally. It seems like "listing yourself as gay when you're really bi" has become less common these days, anyway, since Okcupid introduced a feature for gay/bi users where they can block all straight people from viewing their pages.

I have noticed that most of my friends from high school, during a really boy-crazy phase (and while still identifying as hetero), think I'm lying about being bi because I'm straight. Most of my college friends, who know me as mostly being cynical and dismissive about boys, and fitting a lot of lesbian stereotypes (ardent feminist, women's studies minor, don't care much about clothes or make-up compared to most girls at my school), think I'm lying about being bi because I'm gay. And both groups are equally adamant and convinced. I kind of want to get both of them together and say "Hey, guys, you can't both be right about this!" Maybe if they each listen to the other for a while they'll realize they're both wrong?

I identify as bi because, while I'm not exactly attracted to anybody in particular for longer than a split second, he only finds men and women attractive. Nevertheless, I've run into this problem once or twice. My sister-in-law, while smoking a joint with me after her son blew me off to hang out with other friends, got frustrated when I mentioned my sexuality to her and said "Oh [Troper], how the hell would you know what you are? You haven't even had sex with a woman yet!" I calmly explained to her that, despite that being true, I masturbate to women as well as men. I also explained that I've had sex with men in the past(who are a ''LOT'' easier to talk into sex, ladies. Hint hint.) She didn't respond to my counter-argument, just rolled up another joint for us to smoke. She's the best sister-in-law ever!

I am bi, but most of my friends find it hard to wrap their heads around it. Multiple occasions they had refer to me as gay. Why? Because I don't voice any attraction towards men OR women, so automatically I must be gay. Their logic is infallible. (sarcasm, in case you didn't catch it) Meanwhile my best friend is bisexual too, but he's a guy. Most people who've been told that he's bi still think he's gay and that he's just in the closet. Really people?

I spent most of my life assuming I was very gay. As it turns out, I was also very wrong. I still very much prefer men, and will never go out of my way to kaddodle a girls shadoodle, but I'm not entirely opposed to the idea.

I found myself really annoyed at Baltimore Pride by a girl wearing a shirt that said "Bi Now, Gay Later." It was exactly these sorts of attitudes - that bisexuality was either a phase for straight girls who wanted to seem "adventurous" to men, or a phase in coming-out for gays and lesbians - that kept me in the closet throughout middle and high school. I have also noticed that while most people I know believe bi girls there are a lot of people I know who insist that men can't be bi thanks to the stupid studies mentioned in the "Real Life" section of this article. And even a lot of bi women are usually second-guessed as being one or the other.

If I had a nickel for every time someone told me that I was confused due to my bisexuality, I'd be living next door to Bill Gates and shooting golf balls into his yard. My usual and often crude response is "Men turn me on, women turn me on. What's there to be confused about?"

I found out last night that my mum is one of these people who doesn't believe in bisexuals.. right after I came out to her as bisexual.
