I do remember as a young teen watching a music video of a female singer and biting my lip or something, but I didn't realize at the time it was because I thought the girl was cute.

After this I determined I was probably bisexual because I had like all but my first sexual experience. Until then, I'd enjoyed two long-term heterosexual relationships but, in hindsight, I now realise I wasn't as emotionally invested in them as I have been in my relationships with women. A year or two later she even got a tattoo that incorporated a rainbow and said that I was part of the reason she chose it. I was six-weeks old when my parents adopted me from Chile - a predominantly Catholic and fairly socially-conservative country which only legalised divorce in 2004. This frustrated me endlessly, so I made a point to own my bisexuality, to claim my bisexual identity powerfully.Heteronormativity made me think I only liked guys for so long, and then I met this girl and I just realized I had never felt that way about any guy I had been with.

So I moved to Austin and moved Austin to start my first business and start life over here because I wanted to get away from my hometown for a little bit. It was an absolutely dreadful experience to be locked into a room with someone telling you such horrible assumptions about who you are and who you will become. I’m not ready to come out to my family; but that experience helped me be true to who I am at school. No really, they think bisexuality is a myth and they think if I date a man, I become straight, and then if I date a woman I miraculously become gay again… rather than, you know, thinking I might just like men AND women?

I remember having a conversation in his living room and we were just talking about the philosophy of sexuality, right, like what is it and, like, how does it work. The content of this site is published by the site owner(s) and is not a statement of advice, opinion, or information pertaining to The Ohio State University. per cent of people identify as 'heterosexual' or 'straight,' meaning that a mere few years ago, 'coming out' was still extremely rare and extremely brave. It might sound contradictory because this 'thing' is yours, but you don't own it - the person listening to you has the power to react how they want. I first realised I was gay following a pretty tough break-up with a boyfriend and found comfort in a colleague who was going through a similar situation with her girlfriend.

But by the time I was 21 I realised I was unhappy, that being in denial about my sexuality was affecting my relationships and that I couldn’t ignore it or make it go away. While not all stories were precisely to my taste, there were some definite stand-outs and no total flops. Mark took a couple of steps back from the chair she was sitting in, got down on all fours with his ass pointing towards her, loo. I remember the night I told my mother and feeling nervous, partly because it's an awkward conversation, but also I wasn't sure how she'd react .In my role as an engineer with a strong interest in drone technologies, I sometimes get to go to interesting places. You just have to keep trying and keep learning and keep trying to express yourself with your closest ones. It was the first time I encountered biphobia and it stung (I didn’t even realize how much it affected me until later that night).

During college, I lost my desire for men and dove head first into the lesbian lifestyle for about four or five years.

There are species of animals which have gay relationships even, google it – it’s really not ‘weird’ like people think it is.
