Hi, lulu! Just wanted to say thanks for your explanations of how you identify. I'm in a similar boat of "bisexualish" - I'm biromantic and demisexual. I've been married for 15 years and I absolutely adore my husband, but it took being in the fandom to finally understand myself. I just hope that someday where I live (the Bible Belt) becomes more accepting of sexualities other than straight - not for myself, but for all the kids who live here that don't feel safe enough to live their lives freely.
thank you so much for sharing your story! i don’t live in the bible belt, but still do live in the conservative midwest, so i get you and understand what you mean. i also hope people become more understanding as time goes on! and i get that some people don’t like labeling themselves, but i absolutely felt like a huge weight had lifted off my shoulder when i realized there was a word that could be used to describe how i identified and therefore that meant i wasn’t alone in how i felt, you know? it was such a relief for me. but i truly do hope that as time continues and more of us come to understand ourselves that the world can come to be a bit kinder to everyone who isn’t the accepted societal norm. thanks again for sharing and thank you for allowing me to post this! xxx
