I don’t think I have ever officially come out
as bi. There ought to be some sort of ceremony or something, with respect to David’s eloquent opinions. Instead it’s just been casually dropped into enough conversations that word got around and now everyone knows. To be honest, I feel like kind of a fraud even typing this. I’m cisgendered, I’m in a very happy and committed (albeit open) heterosexual relationship, both of which facts allow me to pass for normal to anyone who doesn’t want to scratch below the surface (and most people don’t). Therefore I have never faced the kind of bald prejudice that a lot of my gay, or bi-but-in-same-sex-relationship, or trans friends have. I am comfortable in my sexuality, and most people who I spend time with (including customers in the pub, to my somewhat-surprise) don’t seem bothered at all; or at least, if they are, they don’t show it in front of me.
If only everyone had it as easy as I have.
I’ll continue to try to do my bit to make sure that one day, everyone will.
