Quite Confused? Not so

I’m a guy, and I feel attracted with my opposite sex. What really bothers me is that I also feel something towards my guy best friend… as if there’s… you know… LOVE. I don’t wanna feel like this.

A guy in love with a girl is normal. A guy attracted to another guy is now already accepted, but what if a guy is attracted not only to a guy, but also to a girl? Would that make a difference?

No. These people are called bisexuals. They are under the umbrella of the bigger community called Lesbian, Gay, Bisexuals, and Transgenders (LGBT). Bisexuals tend to have sexual attractions not only to his or her opposite sex but also to the same sex. They tend to be judged because of the argument that a person cannot be attracted to two sexualities. He must choose one instead.

Bisexuality is just a phase, some say. Because of puberty, people tend to have confusion that this is just about curiosity and it will just go by. Teenagers are interested on their emotions, so they tend to play with these things, which, in reality, is not really a sign of bisexuality. Bisexuality is a sexual orientation. You cannot really change it until you die. Seriously.

Another misconception faced by these people is that in order for them to be bisexual, they really need to have a sort of 50-50 attraction towards the two sexualities. Well, as this paragraph stated, that is just a misconception. Some bisexuals are only attracted to 5% of one gender, and 60% of the other - you don't need to be 50/50 or have those add up to 100. And some bisexuals believe that thinking in terms of two genders is restrictive.

Well, the list does not really end there. Bisexuality is not about there being “two sexes”. It is not also being greedy. Fluidity is not what it really meant. In order to be bisexual, you do not need to date the two genders. Lastly, they are not carrier of diseases. They are just victim of those people who have nothing to do with their lives.

Always remember that bisexuals also have hearts and emotions. Together, let us stop bullying towards bisexuals.
