The last post about bisexuality is really familiar to me.
I never saw the point of coming out of the closet as bi. I've been always like this and, to be honest, for me the weird thing is to be attracted only to one gender (and no, I don't mean sex because some people say I'm pan but the point is that it doesn't matter to me). And yes, I came out to my mum last month but my friends have known it for years now, since I met my first girlfriend.
So a couple months ago I was visiting some friends. And in only a few days I had two experiences I want to tell you about:
1st one: my friend X, who's a gay guy, we've acted together at some theatre plays, and he's a good friend.
X: " (...) but really, I don't really understand you lesbians!"
Me: "... er... X... I'm not a lesbian."
X: "But you're with Clara"
Me: "... it does not mean I'm a lesbian, and you know that"
2nd one: I was with a good friend of mine, Y, from my former degree. She and I don't see each other as much as we'd like but we stay in touch.
Me: "So things are going pretty well between Clara and I"
Y: "That's so nice. Well, so my partner and I are thinking about children."
Me: "That's cool. I want to have children someday too"
Y: "Well that would be difficult, right? With Clara and you being both women..."
Me: "I know, but there are other ways, aren't there? Whether Clara and I are still together when that happens or I meet a guy and fall in love with him or I becom-"
Y: "But you're a lesbian!"
Me: "... Y, I'm not a lesbian. Right now I could meet a boy and fall in love with him. The fact that I'm dating and in love with a girl doesn't mean I don't like blokes"
Y: "If you dated a guy you'd be straight"
