Good evening!!! I felt so relieved reading your post for several reasons. I, too am bisexual and I also have had a hard time with the stereotypes put upon us. I was once married and felt I had to identify as a straight woman, then after my divorce I proudly claimed my bisexual status. When I tried to date women, the Lesbians rejected me, and I read so many forums that went on and on about how we are greedy and such. Then when I started dating a woman I took on the label of being a Lesbian, all the while explaining to people that the core of me was that I am bisexual who chooses to live the lifestyle of a Lesbian. Confusing, to people I guess…..well I read somewhere that a woman married and still identified as bi. No need to change who you are to make others comfortable. Just because you marry a man or a woman does not make you no longer bi. It was like a light bulb came on for me. So now I express myself according to who I authentically am in each and every way. I let men and women know that I am bi, and let them sort it out for themselves!!! I LOVE ME DURN IT….NO TURNING BACK NOW!!! 🙂
