Bisexuality and being not-so-out at work

bisexuality-and-being-not-so-out-at-work
Hot:

Often times I’ll be talking with one of my few lesbian friends and so and so is usually mentioned. “Do you know (insert name here)?” “Yea, I don’t like her” “Why’s that? I think she’s nice.” “She’s bisexual.”

What an awesome reason to not like someone. I’ve heard a whole bunch of reasons why lesbians don’t like bisexuals. But you know, I’m only hearing stereotypes. So what if you have had a bad experience with one, two, or even three bisexuals. It doesn’t mean that all of them are sex crazed b*tches. Hell, I’ve heard that about lesbians too. It doesn’t matter if you’re heterosexual, homosexual, and bisexual. We’re all sexual beings, we’re all beings of some sort.

I don’t know that many bisexuals, but the ones I do know are awesome. You should know that I’m head over heels in love, and the girl I’m in love with is bi. She’s everything I’m looking for right now and everything that I want. One of my lesbian friends had told me to move on because she was bisexual. She was going to break my heart. Whatever. Just because someone is bisexual doesn’t mean they are automatically going to break my heart. So what if she does? Yea it’ll hurt like hell, but that’s life, that’s love. If I’m not willing to take a risk, to take this risk, then I’m not going to gain anything out of it. I’d rather have a relationship with her, have her break my heart, and that be it then to not have had a relationship with her at all.

I have to agree with Dark Angel that sexuality is on a spectrum. For example, 10 is straight as all hell, and 1 is gay as all hell, I would be a 2. I’m far away from the middle to not be interested in men, but not so far away that I’m gay as all hell. Some of my friends are 8’s, 3’s, etc. We all have tendencies to be “gay” at some point, just some people don’t really act on it because of their overwhelming urge to get a little opposite sex ass. But for me personally, “the penis” does not interest me at all. AT ALL.

Now, trying to takle one of the other topics, am I out at work? No. I live in a small, hick town surrounded by even smaller hick towns. I don’t know the managers all that well, I don’t know the owner all that well, and to be honest I don’t know my coworkers that well. In fact, the only time I had ever come out at work was when I worked in a manufacturing plant with other lesbians. Coming out in my town isn’t really “welcome”. It’s not that I’m afraid of getting my ass kicked, it’s more of I just don’t like getting called “fag” or “homo” or “dyke” by random people that I only know by name. Word gets around in my town and everyone knows. I just don’t want ot risk losing my job, because I need it more then I need to be out and proud right now. But to be fair, it’s not that hard to tell I’m a lesbian. I go off on everyone’s gaydar.
