There's hope for the world...
So I've been told a lot by a lot of people that bisexuality isn't real. And that has irritated me. I've also been told that because I'm in a committed lesbian relationship, that I should just give up the "bi" title and say I'm a lesbian.
Which also irritates me.
But this morning the irritation lifted a little, as I went to my myspace and found a comment from one of the girls that always puts the bi's down. I was shocked the first time she did it because she's in law school, and is a huge gay rights activist...but it seems she has changed her mind;
"So I recently finished reading this book called "[p]omosexuals. Challenging assumptions of gender and sexuality." I found myself appauled at the fact that I had these biases toward the very people that I am fighting so vehemently to protect. You were right in your first statement to me and I have come to realize that. The book illustrated, ad nauseum, the fact that bisexuals are treated as third class citizens in the LGBTA community and that's not cool at all. I have come to accept the fact that a person is who they are and I no longer believe that all bis are on the fence and so wish washey that I can't trust them. It's the person that makes them trustworthy or not and not the fact that they identify as a bisexual. The very act of feeling comfortable enough with one's self to accept a category is wonderful enough. I would like to rescind all of the animus I threw your way regarding your identity and tell you that I am proud that you are able to accept yourself. You rock, lady, you really do :) "
That made everthing seem a little brighter today.
Thank you Michelle!! :)
