There are just some things you cannot deny, some things you cannot fight.
I came out as bisexual today to my grandmother. Her response restored a lot of the faith I had lost in humanity.
"I still love you, regardless."
I was very afraid to tell her. As you know, she is a devout Christian. I am a Christian. Do I feel like I betrayed my faith? To a certain extent, but that feeling will soon pass. She says "God doesn't make mistakes". So if that's true, what I am is not a mistake on God's part.
I'd say this test of courage began after finishing a TV show where the lead character was bisexual. That set off an internal conflict within me that raged on for nearly half a decade. That conflict ended today. I laid down the gauntlet and confronted who I was, and accepted my true self. All that time I felt like I had been fighting my bisexuality, but in reality I was denying the truth.
I don't expect the great majority of you to understand. Some of you have religious and political objections, others simply will say it's impossible to be a bisexual conservative. I'm not here to have a debate about it. I'm not here to kowtow to one political ideology or another because of what I am. If you can't accept it, that's all on you.
Nothing feels as good as resolving an internal conflict within yourself. But what comes after is an inane fear of what is to come. I will deal with that when it comes for me.
Anywho, I'll see you around.
