That's it. I am sick and tired of jumping through hoops and lying to myself to please people who are never going to accept me, no matter what I do. I've spent 6 years of my life hating myself, questioning myself, hiding, lying, being confused, upset, and totally alone; and for what? Peoples' approval? Guess what. Someone is always going to have a problem with your life choices, and other people are going to be cheering you on. I'm done trying to please people who don't matter. 

Family, friends, co-workers, classmates, I am bisexual. No, that isn't a typo. I am romantically attracted to both men and women. Yes, bisexuality does exist; that, or I am a unicorn. I've felt this way since I was in 8th grade; it is not a phase. Religious friends, yes, I've desperately tried to "pray" away my feelings; it's about as effective as praying for smaller ears, changing the color of the sky, or warm winters in Ohio. Mom, yes, I still want to give you grandchildren, and I will no matter who I choose to marry.   

This announcement might come as a surprise to you; that's okay. You are entitled to whatever you feel about the matter. However, if this makes you uncomfortable, upsets you, offends you, angers you, or sparks the urge for fervent prayer,  the "unfriend" button is at the top of the page under the "friends" tab.
