7 Things NOT To Say To A Bisexual Person
Media

As a gladly bisexual young lady, for quite a long time I've needed to explore the confounded hazy area that my personality involves on the sexuality range. In spite of the majority of the additions the LGBT people group has made, bisexuals are still looked upon with disarray — or by and large disdain — by gays, lesbians, and straight individuals alike. From individuals inquiring as to whether I was "all out gay yet" to others doubting my inspirations, I've presumably heard it all.

Lamentably, the twofold thinking about the individuals who deny cross-sexuality's presence at last persecutes everybody by sustaining courageous models of character, regardless of whether they be heteronormative or homonormative. Getting physically involved with somebody of a similar sex doesn't mean you're gay, much the same as getting physically involved with somebody of the inverse sex doesn't mean you're straight — it just means you fall some place in the lovely, liquid range of sexuality.

1. Bisexuals do not exist: This is the first and most pervasive lie about bisexuality.

2. "You are going through a phase.": OKAY OKAY. I have heard this a billion times. I am not going through a phase. Trust me.

3. Bisexuals are scared of commitment: Being attracted to both genders doesn't have anything to do with commitment.

4. Bisexuals are attracted to anything that moves: I've never heard something SO insulting, and so ridiculous. This statement makes me want to throw up. Whoever said this must be really full of themselves.

5. Bisexuals live for threesomes: Stop. Just stop sexualizing my attraction to both sexes.

6. Bisexuals are cheaters: A cheater is a cheater. Bisexual people cheat, and so do people who identify as straight, gay, trans, or anything else. A person's sexuality does not make them cheat.

7. Bisexuals do it for attention: I hear this more often than not. To be honest, I could think of ten other things that would get better attention than bragging about my sexual preference.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
