I always somehow knew innately I was attracted to both men and women growing up. As a child I never questioned it really, I just knew I had certain feelings for both sexes and I was okay with that. It wasn't until high-school, was when I started to really ask myself if I was more interested in one sex over the other-more specifically for women. My first year of high school had me doubting my own sexuality, rather than questioning it. I doubted if I was really gay at all, or maybe it was just a phase i was going through. It was difficult to identify my sexuality only because it wasn't a subject that was taught in school-to be gay or not to be gay!Throughout the years, I've come to accept myself as a bisexual. I am sexually attracted to both men and women-BUT I do not check out every single person that walks by me! This notion that Bisexuals want to have sex with everyone around them is a myth. I don't flaunt myself to every single person I meet and say " hi my name is ... and I am a bisexual", even though I do know some people who do actually do that. Don't get confused and think I'm still in the closet. I've always been open about it, it just depends if one is willing to ask me if I am gay or not. But often most people are hesitant of asking me that very question because they're afraid it might offend me-well it doesn't. For me I see having an attraction to both sexes as a norm. I don't feel shunned by society or anything. I feel pretty satisfied with my own sexuality. I don't need to prove how I AM gay. I just am.
