ok, so i dunno about you guys, but when i came out to my mom, she didn't believe me and got totally pissed and hasn't brought it up since (except every now and then when she wants to say "it's just a phase" or "don't be stupid") but what's really annoying is that my sister is worse about it. i mean, my mom will say i'm being dumb, but my sister is like, "how do you know" "who have you liked in the past" and, my all-time-favorite, "are you sure?"
so i'm pretty sure that most people get follow up questions, right? and they piss the hell outta us. but what i don't get is, you don't go up to a teenage guy who says he likes a girl and ask him, "are you sure?" so why would you ask the girl also checking her out, or the boy checking out the guy? it's so annoying and stupid! god i wish they would shut up!

Those kind of questions are insensitive.
Just ask, "Well, what makes you sure you're straight?"
I feel like we're conditioned from a young age to believe that we must grow up to conform to a heterosexual lifestyle. I think a lot of pain and grief could be avoided if questioning sexuality and gender was encouraged.

Agreed, but we all know it won't. Unfortunately we were/ are being raised in a heterosexual society. And yes I got those questions also.
Nobody thinks to ask the straight couple "Are you sure?" because that is the quote unquote normal way to be. It is outside of their typical realm of thinking and actually makes the little hamster in their head move, even though it wishes to be a lazy bum just like the person.
Eventually those questions will go away and the acceptance will set in. It's all a matter of time.

i hate time. in reguards to your siggy, we should throw a rock in the lake to make it flow faster sometimes. but patients is a virtue (ok, i don't know what a virtue is, but i've heard that a lot, so it seems nice to say.)
yeah, what your sayin is true, but i totally wish that parents and family would get the picture that HELLO! NO ONE IS GONNA CHOOSE THIS KIND OF HATE THAT THE GAY/BI/TRANS/ETC COMMUNITY RECIEVES! personally, i find it ignorant that they think we would lie, but people are weird like that sometimes. it's part of our nature, i guess.
they should teach acceptance of race and orientation instead of abstinence in schools. hell, you can learn about all of the damages of sex on tv, but you never see important lessons in the school. that should be changed.
sorry, a bit random.

Yeah, time does kinda suck, but we have to deal with it.
Unfortunately, there are the stupid girls that are like "Oh, I'm tired of guys. I'm gonna turn gay" or "I kissed a girl at a party, so now I'm Bi!" or "I think she's really pretty. This makes me bi" or "I get along better with my Girl friends than my guy friends. This must make me gay" or "Maybe people will like me more if I turn gay." and my personal favorite "It's the cool thing to do..."
So it is because of these stupid people that everyone else gets the wrong impression of everyone else in the Community. It's kinda like blondes. Just because a few are completely stupid, automatically every blonde is. Because one gay person is fake, so are all the rest.
Acceptance isn't going to be taught, neither is safe sex. Both should be taught in place of abstinence. Kids are going to have sex, gender not important. It doesn't matter what they are taught.
Another favorite saying: "Teach your kids to accept others, they'll figure out the sex thing on their own."
And yes I know I did the rainbow backwards. Bite me.

i have a friend like that. i mean, she's so desperate for any kind of attention that she told EVERYONE she was bi... you don't do that. then she said that she was a lesbian after her and her bf broke up. then, after not dating a girl, she dated another guy and then her ex again!!! i mean, you can't be gay if your that willing date the opposite gender. and her orientation just changed from straight to bi abruptly, i mean, right after i finally told a few friends i was she told everyone she was. imean, i'm having trouble believing she's even into girls, cuz she's always talkin about guys.
anyways, yeah, i hate posers of any sorts, but posing as a gay isn't helping at all...
and i didn't even notice you did the rainbow backwards. i highlighted it all.

It is stupid little twits like that (no offense) that make most people not believe that we actually know our orientation. I will proudly say I am a pansexual female. I do have a boyfriend, but him and I will talk about girls. he is bisexual himself, so we will also talk about guys. And as in another thread, my transsexual friend is one of the most beautiful people I know, inside and out.
And just wanting attention is another one I forgot. I have a friend that's the exact same way. She didn't get much attention at home, so we kissed once and it was just like a peck. then a couple days later she says she's bi, but once again all she talked about was guys. If I even mentioned sleeping with a girl, she would get groosed out. Makes no sense!!!
