Something Inspired by UntamedUnwanted and Michael Helms.

Both their last entries have essentially said how I feel. I was going to leave a comment for each of them but deicded to say something in an entry of my own first.

Back when I was a young teenager. It was revealed to me that I could possibly be lesbian. Since then I flitted between bisexual and lesbian as I had some sort of attraction to men only to realise it is more of a visual thing.

I'm 24 now (yes I need to update my profile) But I cam out of the closet when I was 20. My sister (who is 31) had already figured me out before I came out. I did come out to my parents. Essentially when my Mum asked me the same question that my sister did which was "do you ever wish you had a boyfriend" to which my reply was "no, but I wish I had a girlfriend."

I feel fortunate enough in life to have always fallen in with the right people. Friend and aquaintence wise everyone has known that I'm gay, family wise as well. However, I have had strangers walk up to me or tell me on a message board that "I should repent for being gay" I'd only repent if I felt it was wrong, which I don't. Love is not wrong. What is wrong is attacking someone because you percieve them as different. Not only that, I have also been told I should get over my autism (I was diagnosed as Asperger) I don't see that as wrong either. Just means I think differently in life to other people.

However, with what UntamedUnwanted has said I can see how being bisexual can be difficult. Too many times I have seen some of those "supposed" arguments for not being bisexual by others. But not only by heterosexuals, but also from gays/lesbians as well. And it doesn't make much sense to me. As far as I'm concerned, bisexual or pansexual people are just people who emotionally and psychologically as well as physically are more fluid with who they are attracted to.

And I agree with Shy's quote "my heart is monogamous but my body/pussy is not"

Helms' questions: "So....as I said....I like to ask questions.
Why can't we just love each other??
Why can we just accept our differences?
Why can't we just throw our arms around each other and offer the protection of the human heart?
Why can't we just give peace and love a chance?"

I think a lot of it comes down to fear. People are scared of what they feel, of something they might feel and enjoy even though they may feel it is not quite right. So they get scared and snap back. Or I think that is part of it. It may also go deeper then that.
