Howdy all.
First off, major thanks once again for all the love and support shown in reply to my last message. It was a scary thing to come out and admit that I am bisexual to you all, but I hope that no one took my fear personally. Coming out....it's a life changing thing. Once the fact is out there, it cannot be taken back. That is why it was so scary for me. Not everyone may know this, but trusting other people, and letting them in... that has always been a hard thing for me to do. So, needless to say, this made things that much scarier. And that makes me that much more grateful to you guys for being the loving and supportive friends you always have been.
I still haven't spoken to people here in KY about this. That step is a much scarier one then coming out to you guys. I mean, it's one thing to type out the words, it's entirely different when you have to say them to someone's face. Mainly because you get their reactions immediately. Like I said earlier. This revelation is a life-changer. It is going to change the way people look at me. In a perfect world, it wouldn't matter to anyone who I chose to pursue romantically. Sadly, we are in a far from perfect world and I know, in the minds of some individuals, I will be looked down upon because of my attraction to both men and women. Some will be disgusted. Some would even want to hurt me physically. On the flip side, there are going to be people who could care less who I choose to sleep with. and there will be those who embrace my revelation with open arms. And there is a good chance that my family could be the former, and not the latter of the possibilites.
Like I said, scary.
At least I can be open about things here with you guys. (and no,![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
tptigger , I will not be joining in the Tommy crushage *grin*. He was cute and all, back in the day, but I'm just not that into him. PR definitely has had it's share of good looking men, though.)
