I’m bisexual and I absolutely refuse to apologize for that.

Being queer is a key part of my identity, it’s one of the things I honestly truly love about myself. While that hasn’t always been the case, it is today. It’s something I share proudly with my friends, something I wear on my sleeve, something that defines me in all the best ways. I'm not out to everyone in my family yet, and it's going to take some time before I make that leap of faith but it's who I am and one day I will share that with them.

Being bisexual means I get to enjoy the physical attraction towards multiple types of humans, not just one and I love that. I love knowing that I have the opportunity to meet my partner, soulmate, or significant other any day of the week at any time because I don't have to worry about one's gender identity stopping me from feeling attraction to an individual.

Being bisexual means I can help others on their path of being queer or understanding what it means to be queer. I continue to answer questions about how I found my way and what caused me to become so open about my experiences as a bi person in a world of either being straight or gay. I get to stick up for those who need me because they aren't out yet, and honestly, I fight the fight because it's one I believe in full-heartedly.

The stigma's of being bisexual do rear their head from time-to-time though. I've been told that I'm just confused and that I don't exist multiple times in my life, sometimes as a joke and sometimes seriously. I've been told I'll never find a partner because I could leave them to go be with someone else, even though I define myself as a monogamous person. I've been questioned about my identity until the cows come home, and even after I've done that they still don't believe me.

But, that's okay. Because I love being bisexual and it's something I refuse to apologize for.
