Being bisexual is freakin hard man! You get judged obv but also it's hard finding a partner, most lesbian girls i know in my country think we're cheaters :/ and straight guys that are a bit close minded think we're crazy chicks or weird dudes that don't know what they want, but also some partners want us to have a threesome which offends me tbh. Being single now makes me feel better about my sexuality and focus on other stuff. And being 100% honest about what I want and my bisexuality has indeed reinforced it :) some girls choose to be bicurious just for the fear of later on having a same sex partner or being judged, but You gotta be honest with yourself and take time alone to figure out what You want.

It sucks how deeply set our biphobia and bi erasure is :/ I also felt that way about my first girlfriend, who was bisexual.

@buzzyladsonly99327 жыл бұрын
I am bi but relating to what hanna said about being more hurt if she was to be cheated on with a man rather than with a womman seems odd to me. If I was a lesbian and my bi girlfriend was a cheater I think I'd be more hurt if it was with another womman... my logic being that it's possible she was confused or experimenting or just found out that men satisfy her more which would still hurt but would make sense and there wouldn't be anything I could do about it because I'm not a man. however if it was with a woman then we would be biologically the same and to me it would feel more like she was cheating on my personality, like the main difference between me and the other women would be my thoughts and feelings and values rather than the physical aspects ... which I would find much more painful than a simple gender preference. obviously anyone who cheats is a shallow, selfish person and it sucks that bi people have a stigma around them where people seem to think that it's more likely for them to cheat which simply isn't true, but it's good that people know about this and are correcting this false presumption 😊

when I saw the name of this video I froze in fear. I see a title like this and I don't know if it's going to contain some Ariella-esque interviews with lesbians who say the worst stereotypes about bisexuals as if they are true. I still receive intra community hate. when SCOTUS made marriage equality I was berated and told not to celebrate because "today isn't your day" and that bisexuals do nothing for the cause and then just ride on any of the advantages that are won. Like we have nothing to do with it and were just benefit from it. From before I was even out to myself I was fighting for marriage equality, I was the "overly enthusiastic ally" that showed up to pride parade volunteer groups to just help out and was just so happy to help and then I was no longer able to be in the closet anymore. but the 20 YEARS I was in the closet was to do with the negativity about bisexuals and it causes so much damage to my life. I don't expect everyone to understand, it's ok not to understand. I don't understand people who are only attracted to a SINGLE gender. It's ok not to relate, but don't hate.

As someone who is bisexual one thing that drives me crazy to hear is "well if you like both just go for the opposite gender to fit the societal norms." It drives me crazy, that's not how I approach getting in a relationship with someone. My sister told me "Unless you're going to be in a committed relationship with a girl you shouldn't tell [our traditional] parents." It came from a place of love, but just seemed like an "issue" the family shouldn't have to deal with unless I end up with a girl. I just went through a breakup with my girlfriend a couple weeks ago and ended up telling my mom. She was very understanding about it all, but one of the things she told me that kind of irked me was because I didn't have a lot of experience dating I still needed to go out there and figure out what I wanted. I hate that my sexuality, which I am sure of, is constantly being questioned which in turn makes me question and feel wrong about something I know is right.

I don't like labels at all but for the sake of the comment I "categorise" as a bi sexual. I'm currently in a long term hetero relationship which honestly made it easier for me to hide my sexuality because i was so scared to come out. I had a girlfriend in high school (in my 20's now) and hid it for the short months we were together, we broke up because she was out and proud and i wasn't. Now, i'm out and less insecure. I just think, no matter what sexuality you are, you really need to take time for yourself to work on your insecurities and accept that you are who you are and no ones opinion really matters. I know it's hard when it comes to parents but honestly, not every LGBTQ+ trailblazer you meet had it easy coming out to their family, in fact I think they're trailblazers because despite their adversities they were strong. and you are too. :)

Add me to the list that relates. I'm also bi and date a bi male. It used to be a bigger problem I thought about a lot. I didn't my family because they're Catholic. Most of my friends dated people of the same sex. I felt disappointed because even though I was in a relationship with a guy, it gets dismissed as a oh no honey, you're straight. I then explain my attraction to both male and females and I get blamed as an individual who seems not happy with my relationship and wants to experiment with women. On top of that, my queer friends felt offended because I was ignoring the queer community, as if I hated people who didn't identify with a gender. It was chaos with what I labeled myself. And it would be a lie if I didn't believe in labels because that denies what makes me, well me, such as Mexican American. At the end of the day, I'm just a happy bi that acknowledges the struggles and feel relieved that we at least have a those who understand.

Thank you so much for talking about this. I'm a bisexual who is in a relationship with a wonderful woman. She's really understanding about how difficult it can be, and helps defend me when people question my sexuality. Having that support helps more than anything. People's assumptions and misunderstandings can be really hurtful. Bisexual and pansexuals face this problem all the time. I get accused of "straight passing", or get told I'm just experimenting constantly. It's really draining trying to defend myself all the time. Having such an amazing partner is really what helps the most. So if you're dating a bi or pan individual, please be understanding and help them deal with all the negativity and hate that can come their way.

As a bi person I think you did a good job here. My other piece of advice would be to listen to your partner. And make sure you use terms to describe their sexuality that they themselves would use. Also just venting, the worst part of being bi is people sexualize you like crazy. It's not applicable to me personally (I am monogamous as heck and casual sex makes me anxious) and I wish people wouldn't automatically assume otherwise about me based on a label that I don't even really like.

As someone who is 25 and pretty much in the same boat, I say, try not to worry about it! It takes a lot of unnecessary time and energy trying to figure out what your label is. I find it easiest personally to identify as queer because it's an easy umbrella term that could mean a number of things. But there's really not a lot of good in sitting up all night analyzing your every thought. I just try and stay open to all possibilities, and if I continue to just be attracted to and date women that's fine, and if I find a man that I am attracted to there's nothing wrong with that either! No need to tie myself down with a label or put myself in a box when I know there's possibilities all around me and wonderful human beings of every kind. Ps- Ignore the rude and ignorant person above me. There's no place for that here. I reported their comment so maybe it will eventually just go away. haha

Less than a year ago I really started realizing that the way I'd always kinda of felt about girls and women was more than just friendship, and at first I thought I was bisexual. But then after thinking about it and contemplating it for a long time, I realized that on a daily basis I didn't really feel sexually attracted to people on the street. Since I grew up in a Christian environment this was a good thing, but as all my friends started becoming much more experienced and sexually active, I felt broken and like something was wrong with me. Then after exploring for a long time, I decided that I identify as demisexual, and biromantic. I've yet to date a girl, but I've meet a lot of great ones, and honestly that's something I'd really like to experience in the future. Thank you for making this video, love you Hannah!

As someone who 100% identifies as a huge gay lesbian, I never understood bisexuality. I was one of the people who were like, "just pick one already!". But then, one of my best friends at the time came out as bi. I've had quite heated discussions on this subject with her lots of times, but she finally managed to explain to me what bisexuality really means. This day I feel the same way as you, Hannah! Bisexuals are so, so brave for standing up for something that's widely considered vague or non-existing. We keep learning, isn't that great?!! :D

I don't feel sex is what determines your sexuality in a relationship because I've had more meaningful and emotionally connected relationships with females than most guys I dated.

Hannah, I have been Bisexual for years but just recently started to realize I am actually gay. I am 21 years old and I've been with the same guy for almost 6 years. And this past month has been one of the hardest months of my life. Between actually coming to terms with being gay, to wondering how the hell ill tell anyone and how will my now husband take it. And within this month, I was forced out by him. He wanted answers and kept pressuring me. It all came out at once. And since then I haven't been very much okay. I started to see a therapist, and I am just slowly losing myself. But since starting therapy, I have noticed myself becoming more and more okay. I am in the process of coming out officially, as well as getting a divorce. Wow. That actually hurts to say. But anyways that is my story i guess

Oh the feeels! 3 years ago I left my husband (together for over 8 years all together) for a multitude of reasons but his main question was "do you think you're gay?" and I just cried and cried. I've always been attracted to women and had a few intense encounters but never dated. I went to therapy but never talked about my sexuality, got into a relationship with another guy (who is great and we're still together) and after a year of being together I was like "I need you to know that I'm bisexual and I feel like I kind of hinted that to you when we started dating but I don't know if you really picked up on it and it's okay if that changes everything for you" but he was a decent person and was like "that's okay, as long as it doesn't change the boundaries of our relationship". Great work on going to therapy and don't close the door on that because honestly more than 3 years after my break up I still struggle with parts of it and should still be seeing someone about it. Also A+ job on acting on your situation, it's so hard to leave relationships that you're not happy in when it's not obvious to the outside world that you're not happy.

They say it's a phase, ask if I still like men, am I bisexual, etc. And the truth is.... I don't know. Your comment "labels are for other people" really stuck out to me because that's what I've been trying to explain to them. I don't need a label to tell me that my girlfriend makes me super happy. Also, I now understand how she may be feeling as the first woman I've ever dated. I know she feels possibly threatened by male attention I may get, but I do my best to assure her that I only want to be with her. I'm truly the happiest I've ever been, and it's been such an amazing journey.

My girlfriend is actually bisexual and it only bothered me at first to think about her experiences with men because I was worried about pleasing her.... in a bedroom sorta way. But then she told me that the guys she'd been with were really bad at that stuff and helped me realize that kind of thing took practice in the first place and being in a relationship is a learning and growing experience, not a set in stone type of thing where two people are exactly who they're going to be for the rest of their lives. She's actually been amazing about helping me with some gender and sexuality issues of my own and honestly i think bi people are awesome. They're the only ones who are ok enough in their sexuality to admit to liking both men and women and let people question them. I think that's pretty awesome

Lydia Rose very body could try and hold themselves up to their partners exes if any gender. It doesn't matter. My partner sends me to the moon and back but she's not the best I've had. But she's pretty damn incredible. And all that matters is I am happy with her and with us as we are. Certain things are off the table with her sexually but it's not a deal breaker. I had my fun and glad I got to experience some things. But not having every sexual thing I want is okay. I still get plenty of what I enjoy. And what I get in return can't even compare to giving those things up. It's not a big deal. No one gets everything they want and that's fine. Once you stop chasing that perfect ideal you can settle down and be happy with someone who has more of what you want even if it's not everything.

I feel awkward showing up with him to LGBTQIA+ spaces because I feel judged and like others think we're intruding.

As a bisexual female I would just like to point out that this video was amazing to watch. I've always felt super weird knowing that people question my sexuality in the sense that they think that it is less valid, and I happen to be dating a trans person, so people have now told me I am pan, but I identify as bi, so that's a thing. My point here is that the person that I am dating and I are both in interesting positions on the spectrum, and as Hannah said, I think everyone is. I personally think whatever term a person chooses to use for how they feel they fall on the spectrum is appropriate despite how another person may define the others sexuality. So thank you Hannah for this video it was really amazing to watch and I really needed it. There's so much hate in the world, and the more love there is the better🌈❤️

It hurts. At 29 years of age now, my mother finally realized it wasn't an "attention seeking phase". Why is it so hard to accept loving BOTH sexes? Why must it be one or the other?

Im 24 and only last year did I finally accept that there is nothing wrong with me for being attracted to both men and women nor did it mean I just wanted attention it simply means I think girls are sexy and cool and guys are also sexy and cool and it's the people themselves that make the difference. I'm still not out because I have that deep rooted fear of people assuming they know me or making judgements like "well she must be desperate for attention" 🙄 I'm also not thrilled about the idea of constantly defending my sexuality to the world. Only a couple very close friends know and that's enough for me for now.

I'm bi, and my girlfriend is pan, but I'm not out to hardly anyone else and it just kinda sucks because my friends are varying levels homophobic, but they're more than just homophobic so I don't want to just leave them. Im really conflicted right now

Natalya Kobiatchi It's ok, you come out when you're ready! And you don't have to give up your friends unless the opinions they hold are having an unhealthy impact on you & their presence in your life is doing more harm than good. Hopefully, someday you (or someone else--it's not your responsibility) will enlighten them. Good luck figuring out a tough situation, love from another bisexual

I'm dating a guy who is bi, and I can't help but think it's me against the rest of the world. I'm an average looking girl. I'm already self conscious and worried about him being more attracted to another girl who might be prettier and/or skinnier than me. But now I also worry about him finding a guy that is better than me... I try to just focus on us, but these thoughts always pop into my head, and I don't know what to do

FortheloveofArt 2016 listen, if he really loves you, he'll be loyal to you no matter what. His sexuality has NOTHING to do with it. People say bi people are more likely to cheat on their partners, which is utter rubbish because any decent character (no matter what their sexuality) will not cheat on someone they love. Please try and have some peace of mind, you sound like you care for him very much, and I'm sure that's reciprocated :)

This spoke to my tiny bi heart. Thanks, Hannah. Being bisexual myself, I get asked questions all the time that are not in the...nice spectrum. I always end those conversations with, "just let me live bro, please". I like that more people are open about it but those fears you listed are something that occur when someone dates a bisexual person (sometimes). I loved your advice. Focusing on the relationship you have with them is the only thing that should matter. I am here for you, I gave you my heart entirely, it is right there for you as is my love. And that's the end of it. xo

B That's it actually he used the term "barsexual". He says he doesn't like to label himself. He said. "If you're a dude and I think you're hot than I think you're hot." Now that could mean bisexual, but he really doesn't like to label it. He said "I like people. Period."

Hey! I'm homosexual and biromantic, which had me extremely confused for a long time. But now that I understand the difference, I want to apologise to the bi community for having used bisexuality as a stepping stone to being gay, because I know it can be hurtful and further the sterotype, making bi men's life more difficult.

I'm a bisexual male dating a gay male, and one thing I would bring attention to this week is to stop calling relationships like ours a "gay relationship". We are a same-sex couple, not a gay couple, because one of the two parties (myself) is not gay.

Eh it's a gay relationship, I honestly don't see the problem, gay relationships refer to the gender of both the participants, not the sexuality of the people in question. Same sex just means gay or homosexual with different wording

Yessssss Hannah! I agree. We are all definitely on a spectrum. No one is 100 percent one way or another, in all aspects of life. I would “label” myself as a straight cis-woman. But I think women are amazing and beautiful and all of those things. For me, I actually don’t have a lot of female friends because I get along more and have more in common with men. Im definitely 100 percent willing to admit my curiosity in being with the same gender but more than likely in my lifetime won’t. ( at least relationship wise, but you can never for sure know your future. ) But I’ve been saying to people for years that I believe there is a spectrum and I definitely do not fall on the completely straight side!!! Love your videos, love you! You’re amazing:)

So I'm gay, and me and my girlfriend, who is bisexual, have been dating for two years now. It is really awesome to date a woman who likes both genders. We talk about how cute some girls are, and sometimes, she will express that she thinks a certain male celebrity is cute too. While I don't like men, I still respect her opinions on males and she respects my opinions on females

Love this!! Thanks for being so real and honest! I’m not bisexual, but I have really dear friends that are. I am constantly defending against “male privilege” and people that constantly judge others in order to put them down. I can see where the labels simultaneously give definition but give grounds to judge. I’m still dealing with heading into the “wrong” locker room and being judged by the cut of my hair and how muscular I look. I’m still really insecure about being told I’m in the wrong place.
@ItsTorple7 жыл бұрын
This video was awesome, Hannah. Thank you for doing this. My last girlfriend wasn't confident in her sexuality and I think that made me feel like I had to prove that what we had was real to others. It wasn't until I started dating my current girlfriend who is also bi that I realized that that wasn't all of it. When I was first telling my dad about my girlfriend, he started getting defensive about her sexuality because he was bitter that my ex wouldn't come out or be honest about our relationship (it's a long story, but his opinion was valid for reasons - I understood his concern). But when I was trying to reassure him and explain the difference between the two situations, I caught myself saying "no, she's like ACTUALLY bisexual." And I still can't stress how much of a wake up call that was for me. I was unintentionally totally invalidating and belittling both of their experiences. Thankfully my dad is the kind of guy who was open when I brought that topic back up to correct myself. It's something that has become a big pet peeve of mine now, but I'm not sure that wanting people's experiences to be respected and validated is really a pet peeve. Anyway, I'm rambling now but I just wanted to say thank you. 💙

Frankly, I'd rather my girlfriend leave me for a woman than another man. I think it's because another guy would be a direct comparison whereas a woman wouldn't. There's lots of things that women have that I don't but another guy I would constantly be comparing myself to them and asking 'what do they have that I don't?'
