MY COMING OUT STORY

[@vanessakelly9957]

Bisexuality is complicated and this video is a really accurate portrayal of the struggles of growing up as a bisexual teen girl. The feels are real.

[@khatdelvalle6653]

True!

[@freyataylor7783]

Extremely!

[@decayingmatter3346]

Vanessa Kelly I totally agree with this. 😩

[@Zanderren]

Vanessa Kelly I bisexual because people say you gay or not and people don’t get that

[@MelinEvie]

Sooo truuueee... it literally sums up my entire experience

[@Kalifornia-Screaming]

Personally, I think people don't choose their sexuality. That being said...even if sexuality was 100% a choice, it still should not matter and your sexuality should not be used as an excuse to judge and abuse you. What consenting adults do is between them is no one's business as long as others are not harmed. I am a straight man. I do not recall having consciously made that choice. And even if I did, it is not morally or legally relevant. Or at least it shouldn't be.

[@SuperLaurajo]

Love this comment!!!!

[@bellaromantica1761]

I want to marry this comment.

[@arsonlindley7000]

You are amazing

[@AlisVonS]

I wish more people would think that way. Love that comment!

[@DarkRavenFilms]

Thank you for that comment. That was awesome. I wish more people thought like you!

[@deactivated-78936]

I'm bisexual as well, and this is the first time I've ever heard someone say all the things I've been going through as far as discrimination goes. I'm so glad that this video exists, and hopefully it can educate some people.

[@smutycutie]

haha I'm a lesbian and still get all that shit.. just cuz I'm feminine everyone assumes I'm straight, and they say that I'm just sick of men so I'm experimenting.

[@hollymorton8648]

Linda Christiansen same here. I just think they cant understand it themselves so they try to make sense of it, and in turn end up being total ass hats haha.

I came out as bi today. I'm 13 years old, and my parents totally excepted it. I'm so happy. I did it.

[@MollieNorman]

Good for you!

[@gargoylegirli]

Take a warm shower, breathe, take some lavender essential oils- put it on your temples, your wrists and your heart. Then ask some questions about their day and just say it. Do it when you are ready. Don't pressure yourself :D

[@freyataylor7783]

Well done! :)

[@ReptilianTeaDrinker]

[@AnaGonzalez-du4zb]

I'm happy for you :) My parents took it as a joke ._. But whatever, at least I did it c:

[@cammie4923]

my ex boyfriend was the same with being okay with me kissing girls. not afraid at all that i'd run off with a girl. now im dating his ex

That’s a bit rude

Power move xD

[@moonveg]

I think bisexual women have such a hard time! I'm lesbian, but i'm so tired of the lesbian community (well not all of course) slagging off bisexuals! It needs to stop! I commend you for sharing your story. Society needs more people like you who actually talk about what you are feeling! You are brilliant! Take care, and keep on being you! One of my life goals is to change the way people view bisexual women (i'm in academia, so at this point I think I can change the world lol but prob won't happen lol) , so I hope I will be able to contribute to the bisexual community and make people realize that it is a natural thing and people in the gay community (that includes all gay/lesbian/bi/trans) will not have to suffer as much as the previous generation! You and Rose are brilliant and so bloody funny! Thank you for being so open about your feelings. Take care.

[@rubydoobydooo]

Really well put!! :)

[@thynguyen911]

+moonveg Thank you for your kind words. You're absolutely right. Homophobic people, i can understand their reasoning but I can't never understand the discrimination some gay people have for bisexuals. The B letter in LGBT literally stands for Bisexuals. Aren't we all supposed to support each other?! Why the hate?!

[@xXghostdog77Xx]

+George Harrison I do! So if you don't want to hear about it maybe you should get off a video about sexuality.

[@moonveg]

I always wonder why people who say things like "stop blabbing about details of personal life" are on a page commenting…they obviously care about peoples person lives…Mabye to get attention? In that case, this person got attention. I hope you try be considerate/nice/polite in your comments, it can hurt people.

[@Max-xl3ni]

moonveg I’m a lesbian and I completely accept bisexuals

[@NotAnotherKuromi]

I don't understand why a lot of adults think that when children/teenagers say they are bi, or gay, or anything apart form straight, that they are wrong. I haven't once herd an adult question whether a child/teen were sure they were actually straight; if anything I see straight relationships with young people encouraged, no questioning whether they are old enough, or know themselves enough. Stupid fucking double standards.

[@thesaraheffect]

While you may not fully understand your sexuality at 10 ys old (or ever!), most studies I've read (not comprehensive by any means) show that if someone DOES still experience same-sex attraction at adolescence, it almost always is a permanent part of their sexuality. Same goes for trans* people. Sexuality is not as "adult" as we like to think!

[@abiquigley1397]

Im 14 and im bi and i had my first attraction to a girl when i was fucking 8 and i am still bi to this day ! 😊😊

[@heart9270]

I was actually straight and I am like 100% sure of that then suddenly I saw a girl and fell in love totally.. People always ask me why and how.. People are not satisfied when I answer them "I just fell in love with a girl."

[@Neisza]

But have you suddenly started having sexual feelings for women as well when you didn't have them before (sexual fantasies qualify as that too)? Because Lisa Diamond, leading sex researcher on "sexual fluidity" thinks that romantic feelings are intrinsically gender-blind, but sexual preferences are not, and only "proceptivity", generalized sexual attraction, reflects hardwired sexual orientation which is solid.

[@DeadAlcoholZombie]

Miss, I think you shouldnt care about what satisfies others when it's about your private life. :]

[@heart9270]

DeadAlcoholZombie yup but in our country you just cant help it.. I usually ignore and just smile.. in our country its like you can only like girls if you look like a man and i dont look and act like a man so the questions are non-stop most of the time even with people I just meet for the first time..

[@heart9270]

Neisza you dont need science to justify all things and research are based on "general result" getting a conclusion.. Wonderful things just happen then and there like magic..

[@Neisza]

Bonita Nacua I only said that Lisa Diamond, who stands behind that whole "sexual fluidity" theory, found in her study that sexual feelings of her participants didn't really change (unless they were, as it's called nowadays, demisexuals), but romantic feelings did - people had various ideas about who they can love, only to find "exceptions" all the time. That's why I asked you about your sexual fellings - because it's completely possible that you didn't think you could ever love a girl but then fell in love with one. On the other hand lots of "straight" women have sexual fantasies about women but don't consider it as having anything to do with their orientation simply because they can't imagine being in relationship with a woman.

[@Sunnytimes14]

When I came out to my mom she's just like,"I don't care I still love you." And gave me a hug. Best mom ever!

[@AnimeOtaku5063]

There was a quote from season 4 of Orange is the New Black, and it goes: "I'm attracted to people, not genders." And I think that just about sums it up.

[@froot6977]

+Leah buzz TV yes

[@mykensey9364]

think that would sum up pansexuality better imo

[@minitwig1]

It was Soso who said that and I love it

[@witchf4ce310]

mykensey that depends on the person, I'm attracted to people, not genders but I still feel that bisexual is the label for me

[@laneydemotte7972]

mykensey the i think point of is to state that it’s a person loving a person, no labels. that we shouldn’t be labeled and just be accepted and not be different from everyone else. sorry for the late comment

[@LeahAmAnderson]

Couldn't agree more, Rosie. The LGBT community is even less accepting of bisexuals than the general community and it's endlessly frustrating. Lesbians don't want to have to compete with men and I can understand that fear, but it makes it really difficult for Bi girls to establish credibility. It certainly doesn't help our credibility when drunk girls at the bar make out with girls for male attention and says they're bisexual. True bisexuals are harder to come by, but no less capable of honest and loving relationships with women than lesbians are.

[@freyataylor7783]

Very true

[@aprilderosier3410]

Love your curls, Rosie! I have to say I absolutely love the type of coming out story you have. There wasn't much inner turmoil. You seem to have been so open and ok with yourself from the beginning. It shows a lot of your self love... I applaud you for sharing your story with us! Having an easier coming out story doesn't invalidate it. This is the future we are working towards! I'm so proud of you, your Mum and Anna! You are a beautiful soul... Your love is endless.

[@MeliYT]

Oh my God, that was so right on point! Bisexuality is not a phase and we're sooo tired of getting shit for it. Thanks Rosie for putting some sense in people's mind. THANK YOU.

[@MissMiasma]

This is one of the only videos I have seen in which the comments are actually a discussion of the topic not just idiotic remarks or hate speech. I love it.

[@IbelongtoMUSE12]

I can't thank you enough your anger reflects mine so accurately. Honestly I can't stand it sometimes. I'm bisexual as well but I have a boyfriend, and I love him a lot, I have had sex with women and sexual experiences but have never had a female partner and I genuinely feel pressure, and people insinuate that I have to have had a female girlfriend in order to be bisexual like I have something to prove. Not to mention people just calling me straight. "But you have a boyfriend?" YES IM FUCKING BI AS IN TWO AT THE SAME TIME. LIKE BI-FUCKING-LINGUAL. If someone speaks both English and Japanese no one tells them that while they're speaking English that they don't speak Japanese. "But you're speaking English" "Yes I also speak Japanese" "No you just speak English"

As a lesbian(and just a decent human being) I can't stand bi erasure or misrepresentation/misinterpretation by people regarding those who identify as bisexual. Thanks for making this video, I appreciate it.

[@zornitsatodorova9850]

Plus that bisexual women (!) are often sexually objectified. As surprising as it is, my life's purpose is NOT to please or try to appeal to the men around me.

[@MegaComentadora]

and now, you are married with a woman. proud

[@strawberry-kirby]

HALSEYY

[@alexy.4149]

It's pretty pathetic when people try to erase bisexual identities. The "if you're with a woman, that makes you a lesbian" comment particularly bewilders me. It's like saying, "you're eating a salad, that must mean you're a vegetarian".

[@cheesecakelasagna]

Nice analogy. I'll use it!

[@CodySDivineCreators]

I never thought of bisexuals from this perspective before. I'm so happy I saw this video, this was extremely eye opening. There is no choice. I love that you said that.

[@REBECKSTERRR]

Watching this again and I'm amazed by how beautifully articulate you are. Such a brilliant video xxxx

[@helenepedersen9852]

the best thing yet. i'm a bisexual woman and i recognize all of these dilemmas. when watching your video, it's like re-visiting the situations. definitely the last part hits me, because of how often i experience this. i'm just glad that I'm not the "weird one", theres actually one who's been through the same situations. oh my. that was a longer post than i wanted it to be.

[@LariFu92]

I'm a lesbian and I dont understand how a gay person, who knows how's like to be judge for something you cant actually change, judge someone else. I couldnt have said it myself better, your sexuality doesnt change when you're single or when you're in a relationship. It's not about the gender, is about the person.

[@thane9]

As a straight guy, I struggle with the exact same question. It's sad really.

[@LariFu92]

It's nice to know some straight people understand it, tho.

[@MoanaPulelehua]

Being Bi myself I can completely relate to your story, and point of view. From a young age I was attracted to females and males, and when I got a little older I felt like I had to choose between the two in order to be accepted. When I realized I wasn't straight, I wasn't gay, I was rather sad, because I felt neither "team" would ever accept me. Although there are difficult moments because no one takes you seriously, the one whose acceptance is the most important is your own. Thank you for your video; it really spoke to me in a positive way

[@PositivityGleek]

As a lesbian even I can tell it must be so much harder to come out as bisexual because coming out as gay you have the full support of the lgbt community to rely on but as a bisexual there are so many gays and lesbians that don't accept bisexuality. It's ridiculous really because so many of us struggle to accept who we are and crave the acceptance of others yet some people still have the nerve to make someone feel ashamed of who they are :( like I said before I'm a lesbian but if I see an attractive guy I feel like I need to keep quiet about it because my straight friends don't accept my opinion on men because I'm gay :/ everyone just needs to stop being so judgemental and let us love who we love!

[@page6278]

I agree, im a lesbian as well and i just don't get why other lesbians or gays (not all) don't accept bisexuals as part of the community its like in one of Rosie's other videos i think it was called "scissor shaming" when they said "Why have a war inside our own community?" we all need to stick together Gays, Lesbians and Bisexuals! And we all have the right to love who we want regardless of gender!!

[@MrDarkschneider1982]

page The issue is that all human beings, no matter the religion, the colour of he skin, the gender and the sexual orientation, have a tendency to divide in groups and that can easily lead to discrimination to the people that don't fix in any of the groups. In the same way in the past sons of mixed marriages were discriminated by both whites and blacks.

[@page6278]

I know we will never change :(

[@MrDarkschneider1982]

page No, don't say that. We are changing all the time.200 yard ago slavery was still common. 110 years ago women had no votes. 60 years ago racism was considered socially acceptable. 15 years ago most of the world public opinion strongly opposed gay marriage. We fight battles, we lose, then we fight again, than we win and we change. And the biggest reason i love people like Rose and Rosie is because i feel like they are the ones that fight in the front.

[@page6278]

Thanks your right it just takes time :) . i know what you mean i don't know what i would do if it wasn't for rose and rosie or lucy and kaelyn they give us all hope :))

[@morganboutwell8231]

Thank you so much for bravely sharing your opinions and story! You and Rose are such marvelous role models. Xoxo

[@xmidsummersky]

Rosie, I am going to say something here, and it's a compliment and a hint in one: you should be giving TEDxtalks about this. And I'm dead serious because I believe you explained it in the clearest way possible, and everyone just needs to hear how bisexuality really works.

[@GabyStopMotion]

I did it... I did my coming out to my mom right after watching your video. Thank you so much!

[@Popmetalj]

Very brave and clearly heartfelt. The world has come a long way since I was born (in the 1970s) in terms of acceptance of non-straight sexuality but clearly the understanding of what it means has further to go. Your vids are part of that process.

[@willowpeluso2310]

I went through the same exact thing that you went through with your boyfriend. I had a boyfriend, and then he told me that he didn't consider it cheating if I hooked up with another girl. So I did which we were together, and then I started to actually develop feelings for this girl. Then, he got really mad because I started to emotionally feel attracted to this girl, rather than physically. I feel that this problem is common in someone's life who is bisexual, and it's something that I definitely have to deal with too. Thank you so much for making this video. There aren't many bisexual women who are in a happy, committed relationship on KZbin, and I'm so happy I found your coming out video. Thank you so much

[@CatherineJane17]

rosie, your bisexual rant just absolutely vocalised everything that i've been feeling and experiencing for my entire life. it's just so FRESH to actually learn that somebody else understands me, instead of getting written off as bisexuality usually is. there are so few role models for young bisexuals these days and i am so proud to spearhead you as one - i genuinely look up to you and admire your honesty whenever it comes to your sexuality. so often i think that bisexuals get overlooked in both communities, like you said. straight people don't take it seriously and gays often look down on bisexuality - you aren't "pure" gay; you're only "pretending" to be gay. i've had lesbians tell me before that it is much easier for me to be bisexual than it is to be gay because i can just "pretend to be straight". and i agree with them, i CAN "pretend to be straight". but so can they - they can pretend to be straight because that's all it is, PRETENDING. i'm not straight. i couldn't be straight if i wanted to. i'm bisexual and it's who i am. i could pretend to be straight, i could tell people i liked men exclusively, i could hide my attraction to women. lesbians could do the same but all of those things would be false - and they would be equally as false to me. that's something that just really grinds my gears. it is so unfair that the validity of my sexuality is not realised - that's just like saying the validity of me as a person is not realised. i do exist, bisexuality does exist, people need to just understand that more. and i am so very thankful that you are visible in the LGBT community to hopefully educate some people about it.

[@claram9120]

Thank you for sharing this! I had the same thing where a boyfriend told me he didn't mind if I kissed girls. I couldn't put my finger on why it bothered me but you've explained it perfectly. I also had people at an LGBT group say I didn't belong there because I was 'straight' (I had a boyfriend). Besides surely everyone should be welcome there regardless!! Doesn't feel good when people try to tell you what your sexuality is. I love you guys!

[@Natalie-ok3ej]

One of my closest friends is a lesbian, and I overheard her having a conversation with another one of my friends in the room next to mine. Telling him how she doesn't believe in bisexuality, and she finds us liars and that we're 'greedy'. And honestly, it just shocked me. I know what an absolute horrible time she had at school, being bullied because of her sexuality. So surely she wouldn't want to make anyone else feel how she did? Obviously not. Safe to say, we no longer speak on the regular..

[@ObfuscateOkashi]

Well, just because someone is gay doesn't make them evolved. Sorry you had to go through that, though. I'm a lesbian myself, but I think the judgement, regardless of whether it's the B or T or any other thing, is total bullshit. Solidarity, yo. *brofist*

[@charlienonya7016]

Everyone is bisexual as a minimum. I truly, truly believe it. That's why people throw out the choice card. A LOT of people choose not to be homosexual or to act on their NATURAL homosexual desires. Most of us discover sex through our own sexual organs so really homosexuality isn't that weird, and heterosexuality would slash should be. We've just romanticized through the ages what is right and even call it nature or natural because you can create a baby only through a male and female but really it's almost more natural to be gay then straight if we really analyzed it.

[@VaishnaviGawde]

Exactly what I think!

[@ocdpotato3290]

Speak for yourself and don't generalize. Ew..

[@XxMIZZL4UR3NxX]

Sexuality is fluid, don't use the term bisexual

[@diamcole]

I've never believed that everyone is bisexual on some level. There are just far too many people in this world to generalize lol.

[@Neisza]

That sounds exactly like straight homophobes trying to erase homosexuality - you are doing the same thing by assuming that everyone is like you.

[@emmatayler4474]

I loved this video!!! I've known I'm bisexual since I was about 13-14... but since I married a man everyone just assumes I'm straight now and thinks I've "grown out of it" It's so annoying... I feel like because I've never had a relationship with a girl I haven't proven my bi-ness!?!? Do I need to prove it to anyone... NO! If (god forbid) my husband and I broke up, there would be just as much chance that I could fall for a woman as I could for man... Thanks for making this video, it's kind of help me re-confirm (to myself) that I am Bi-sexual! I just happen to be married to a man :)

[@priy2967]

I'm so glad you made this video. I'm bisexual too and I know exactly what you mean. Both my girlfriend and I are bi and we get so much shit; its unbelievable. People always refer to us as "friends" even though they see us holding hands, kissing etc and can blatantly tell we're a couple. And because we're both bi, people always assume that its just a "phase" and we'll get over it. We've been together for nearly a year and I can safely say we both love each other a lot. Sexuality has nothing to do whether a person will cheat or not. Discrimination against bisexuals is so high.

[@myname-mv9nd]

this video is so important to me. thank you rosie, knowing someone has had the same experience that i am experiencing right now means the absolute world to me. i love you and rose so much, and you guys have helped so much, but this specific video hits me so hard. thank you again, you are invaluable to me and many others

[@jessicat295]

This was so incredibly helpful! I am always at a loss for words when trying to explain how it really doesn't matter to me whether I am with a man or a woman. There are always people who ask, "Well, which one do you like better?", and it is always so difficult to explain to them that I don't like either more than the other! Thank you so much! In the future when someone questions my sexuality I will send them the link to this video! Thank you so much again for sharing your story, Rosie! Much love!

[@erinbrooksj]

I fucking love you and respect your story. You're so brave and more people need to see this

[@MsTessh]

I'm so sorry you had to go through all that shit from society. You are an inspiration and we love you!

[@vanillalatteicecream]

I love Rose and Rosie so much, and this video brings up a lot of the feelings I have felt in the past, but also that I still feel. However, this does somewhat emphasise the idea that bisexuality is absolutely 50/50, which isn't necessarily true, and is also fine if this isn't the case. You can have and preference and still be bisexual. I love Rosie, but I feel like she's over-emphasising the idea that she likes men and women equally, when not all bisexual people do. But this video really does highlight a lot of problems that are encountered by bisexual women', and she is sharing her experience, which I can relate to very much. And I love this video.

[@aven8205]

I think that is an individual matter whether men and women attract you equally or not. We are not the same. Rosie says what she feels and thinks

[@samohdamn16]

Dear Rosie and Rose, I am a 21 year old girl just becoming familiar with your videos and I have to say that not only your coming out videos but your videos in general are so incredibly inspiring. I thank you both for being yourselves and shedding light on so many problems I have been having with my sexuality. I am Persian and in my culture being gay or bisexual is incredibly, absolutely and utterly frowned upon. However, because of you two, I am so much more embracing of the person I am and thank you from the depths of my heart for being the amazing people that you are. You are heroes in my world. Thank you. With love, Sam

[@greyyy7994]

Rosie gives me all the life. I fucking love her

[@luctoulouse]

Who doesn't?

[@mandymoe6493]

Haha, when you explained the problem with "just being bi when you are singel" I was so thankful (and it was really amusing somehow). I identify as bi right now, but I don't know what will come in the future. But your coming out story and Roses just give me the feeling of being completely "normal". I have time to figure out if I'm bi or a lesbian. I am 17 in about 3 month and still haven't been in a relationship. And you two tell me that it is fine to take my time and figure everything out, maybe to even try things out. And I am really, really thankful for you posting these videos. They helped me a lot. And I'm sure they helped a lot of other people too. So thank you again and keep being awesome. ♥

[@ChristieSaysRawwr]

I've had the "how can you know if you've never been with a girl?" question so many times from boys. How does that even make sense? Up until 2 years ago, I hadn't "been with" a guy either, but that never mattered to guys! At a young age no one has done anything but you still know within yourself what you like..

[@Marndemarn]

I always have people ask me whether my boyfriend is afraid I´d leave him for a woman. It's ridiculous. And the monogamy-thing as well. GOSH, just because I'm attracted to both doesn't mean I can't be with just one person. And the 'ending up with'-thing. Your video really helped me, thanks :)

[@sassyrobotsam]

This video is amazing. Thank you so much for making it. Every single thing you've said about bisexuality is literally everything I believe in. I've known I was bisexual for a few years now and very open about it. But it's hard to just come out about it when many people and society especially don't take it seriously because of the stigma 'oh you must choose one or the other' but I am attracted to both men and women sexually and emotionally the same amount. I wish more people got that. But this video make me really happy to know others feel the same on the subject

[@danaseballos5305]

your right....

[@vanessawidergren6668]

As a bisexual woman myself I super appreciate your excellent explanation on the subject. I was previously in a relationship with a woman, and am currently engaged to a man and it is beyond infuriating that people think that I've "gone straight" now, what ever that means. I've also had the experience of having a few great dates with a lesbian only for her to dump me after finding out I was bi so I do feel that the lgbt community still has it's bias towards us. It's explanations like yours that can really make a difference in informing ignorant people and for that I thank you :)

[@isabelweston670]

People said Rosie would run off with a man because she would want to have a baby, fast forward 6 years and Rosie is married to a woman and pregnant with their first child. That truly makes me so happy xx

[@notnatwhothat]

This is the first coming out story I've seen for someone who is bisexual. Thank you so much for making this. It really made me think and accept myself more. I really needed this. Thank you.

[@leelaerfan]

Rose: "I have sand in my vagina.." "I don't know it's always there.." "I don't wanna talk about it.." Seriously amazing

[@maebrave7950]

With the last guy I dated, at the time I identified as bi until I came to the reason that I was lesbian, at the time he also told me "I don't think it's cheating for you to kiss a women feel free" and you said exactly what I was thinking I found it disrespectful

[@slat13]

I understand the struggle. This video was great because it outlines what I have seen as well. It is also so awful to see many hateful comments toward bisexual people from even the gay community.

[@Sociallama]

I respect you so much, you are a very intelligent and good individual. This is was a great watch.

[@bobcarver5443]

I have to say my opinion of you has changed. While I am aware that we only see what you allow us, which is totally fair and right, I always felt you were very funny and sweet. This video showed me the strength you have as a person. As much as I adore the two of you as a couple, the coming out stories you presented have allowed me to see you as individuals as well. Yes, my opinion has changed, you are so much more than adorable and funny, you are important! Much love.

[@mirandawonder3707]

Another grateful bisexual woman, here. Also, beginning my first relationship with another woman, and you both are sharing so much that is helpful! Thank you!

[@LeilaMiriamBG]

I don't get taken seriously as bi because I'm engaged to a man. But before him I only ever was serious with women. It drives me mad that I'm no longer seen as part of the LGBT community. But I'm happy so people can think what they want.

[@louisecourtnadge922]

You mention you had an easy coming out, so your story might not help anyone. I could relate to surprisingly many things you spoke about and it was really nice to hear someone else going through that and seeing what a happy ending you got. thank you for sharing Im totally in love with you two now!

[@katiejean011]

Excellent video! I'm not afraid to say I was one of those narrowed minded lesbians that thought badly of bisexuals. Your videos and opinions on the subject have completely changed my way of thinking. It's ridiculous of me to think badly of bisexuals when I myself am fighting the same thing as a lesbian. Thank you for enlightening me on the subject. Keep discussing because you ARE making a difference.

[@Anonymous-hm1ue]

Loved rose's video and love this one too! You guys are so frank and strong. Sexuality is a complicated subject on it's own and I think you ladies have both navigated through it admirably well!

[@brittanycoleman3158]

I just loved this video and as a bisexual women in a monogamist relationship with a man I have heard a lot of the same stuff from my family, friends, and strangers. I completely agree with your view point about being bi and knowing from a young age. I knew I was bi since I was 5 and a crush on a girl and a boy. My mom didn't take me serious either when I told her I was bi at 12. But when I have dated girls in the past my family has had no issue with it so I am blessed in that respect. I just wanted to thank you for sharing your story. This is my 1st time watching your videos. And thanks for your sharing your experiences.

[@juliaeve]

I say I'm gay because I'm barely bisexual. I love women 98% and guys 2% so I'm technically bisexual but I'm more gay than ever lol

[@tryfamily5100]

I FEEL THIS COMPLETELY HELP ME EXCEPT IT PLEASE. I've always felt 100% percent attracted to girls but I can see a guy and think "he's attractive" but I can't see myself dating him or loving him. In my heart I feel gay but my mind won't let me completely accept it.

[@CosmicBeings]

Same.....I been watching this video over and over again since 2014 and...I am pretty confident I am gay. But, I have been sexually active with men in the past. I just can't get my feelings to be more than a friend with a guy....I can deeply love a guy for who he is, think he is great, attractive...but the love is always just a friendship. Even sexually...when given the moment I am not thrilled or interested. But a part of me tries to prove I can be straight just to find out...nope can't get into a guy.

[@themindbenderr]

+Liz Eleanor omg same! that is hard. I find boys attractive but I can't see myself with a boy. I don't wanna date, flirt. I want to do these things with girls. I want to marry a girl, not a boy. But I still don't know if I'm bi or not. Because sometimes I wanna have sex with them and find myself thinking about dating a boy. And sometimes I just find it so disgusting. That is a weird shit!!

[@phone7x7]

A lot of people use the Kinsey Scale. You might be a 5.

[@efadfa3]

I used to think that too but I realized it's cause I'm bisexual and homoromantic so maybe that'll help someone.

[@naneki1992]

Your words really resonate with me. Im bi but i havent come out to family, only to friends. Ive heard my parents say bisexuals are just people who want to be gay to go with the trend. They are very homophobic. The girl i like, who is also bi, has experienced the whole "oh so your straight since your with a guy" thing. It very insulting. Im very scared to come out fully.

[@LukeJacksonMusic]

you're so good at talking about stuff, this video confirmed everything I thought about bisexuals. I'm fairly sure I'm gay but this video felt important xx

[@yayarivera949]

As a new bisexual I can say this is really true, you don’t choose who you’ll fall for, and that was exactly what happened to me. I considered myself straight until I my girlfriend, it just happened I don’t even know how, but I love her as much as I would’ve loved a man, it’s about the connection and nothing more

[@bossnessfication1]

I'm going to be very honest and not to offend anyone or be hated upon but I am bisexual (I love both boys and girls, I've loved a boy and I currently really like a girl, although I have noticed that I feel a stronger attraction to girls). I knew that I was bi when I was 11 when I began feeling a strong attraction to what used to be my best friend whose a girl. I am now 16 and I've began to really accept the person I am and my sexuality. However, I know that if I do get married when I get older, I would marry a man. It is in no way to be hypocritical, or to be labelled as 'fake bi', 'bi-curious' or even straight like I have been. The reason that I say this is because my parents, my entire family to be exact, is very much against homosexuality. Even some of my closest friends who knows about my sexuality is against it. It hurts my heart to know that if I ever did fall deeply in love with a girl and wanted to spend my life with her I would have to hide it from my family, who I am close to, because they wouldn't accept me. I truly love how I am and my sexuality but sometimes it becomes so frustrating that i kneel down and beg to God to make me straight only because it's just easier. I hate having to say it and I hate having hide or want to change who I am but I just don't feel that I could be comfortable in my skin (my sexuality) in shame of being ridiculed. You, Rosie, are so blessed that you are surrounded by people who were accepting of who you truly are. I wish that people would one day wake up and realize that this isn't a choice or a mental problem or a disease like I've been told. I also wish we would do away with these silly labels, identifying and this and as that, as if the billions of people that exists in this world would fall neatly into categories. Why can't we all be known as people, as beautiful, unique and loving people. I am sorry that this is quite a long rant but I felt as if I needed to get off my chest. The KZbin community is sometimes quite harsh but I am sure that there's at least one person who would read this and relate.

[@kianalinehan4701]

Wow, that sounds exactly like me. I have a few friends who know about me being bisexual, they don't except it. I also want to marry a man when I'm older. Because my family would never except me marrying a women.

[@bossnessfication1]

Kiana Linehan I truly do hope that your family may miraculously change their views and notice that you are the same person you always were and if one day you do in fact fall in love with a girl, they would welcome her into the family with open arms and fully, genuinely, accept you for the real person you are.

[@bossnessfication1]

I totally understand what you are saying and I agree that you have to do it to make you happy and nobody else matters but I know the relationship I share with my family, especially my parents. I would hate to bring my perfect girlfriend home to meet them and after they want nothing to do with me. It's something that I don't think I'll ever be able to prepare for or accept. If I do fall deeply, madly in love with a girl, especially the girl that I right now adore so much, I don't know exactly what I would do. And it has nothing to do with me being immature it's just something that I don't think I could do. I don't know what the future holds. Maybe I would have the strength one day to marry the girl of my dreams but right now I find it very difficult. You really have to be in my situation to understand. I do appreciate your advice though.

[@xPTRIXx]

bossnessfication1 You may change when you get older. You're only 16, so never say never. You still have a lot of growing to do as a person, I know I changed a lot from ages 16-20, and became much more independent from my family. I can't place myself in your shoes at all, since I'm a straight guy, but if hypothetically speaking in an alternate universe my family somehow frowned upon me being with someone who I loved, I would still rather be with that person than people who wouldn't accept me over something like that. I can guarantee you I wouldn't have said that answer when I was 16. If the person loves you back immensely, it means they accept and understand you, and for me personally, I would rather be with someone like that than people who wouldn't accept me. Just because your family is important to you now, one day you'll be more independent and living on your own and won't be around your family all the time, and you may find a woman who loves you as much as you love her and you know its right... in my opinion she's more your family in that moment than your blood family. But like I said, I cant place myself in your shoes since I know almost nothing about you. The only piece of advice I can give you is this--- if you find someone who you enjoy being with and who loves you, make a move and spend time with them and have fun, because if you dont, you'll look back on it one day and regret it. I know it can all be difficult, but it'll be ok.

[@caitlinmorrisxx9546]

The bible Is spelt bi-ble not straightble or gayble.

[@emma2711]

Rosie - Thank you so much for making this video! My old boyfriend said the same thing yours did "I don't mind if you kiss girls" when he meant "I consider you kissing another boy to be breaking my trust because it's 'real' whereas with girls it's not 'real'". And I think he thought he was being supportive. I sorta just was okay with it at first cause I could have what I want. But then I thought about it more and had to talk to him and say "This is not okay! Relationships with women mean just as much as relationships with men. And what you said is disrespectful." He kinda admitted "Okay, yeah, I see what you're saying" but he was just like "Well, that's how I feel." And I was like "Well, as long as you know that's fucked up." Thank you for brining this up because it's good to know someone else had this experience. It made me so upset at the time.

[@persuasive8dizzy]

Rosie, I'm bisexual, or gay - to be honest, still not a hundred per cent sure which - but that's irrelevant. SO many things you've said, I've thought before, but couldn't properly explain to people. You are SO eloquent and well-spoken on this topic. Watching this video again, every point you make makes me go, "Yes! Exactly! THIS is what I was trying to say!" I really respect and admire how articulate and clear-headed you are - it has helped me find some of my own clarity. Congratulations to you and Rose, too - your wedding looked divine :) xxxxxx

[@bellafrakes9604]

As a bisexual, I loved this video Rosie. You address things so well and I hope some people will realize the error of their ways (though people can be stubborn). I love your and Rose's videos so much btw :)

[@ramywiles]

"How can you know at 12?" ... I was eight when I had my first crush. The only reason nobody questioned it was because I was a girl and he was a boy.

[@ramywiles]

Not that anyone will see this, but I'd forgotten that I left this comment, and it's a little bit of a trip to come back to it now! I mean, I did know _something_ when I was 12, but it was that I was just gay. I'm only just now putting that language to it at 28. I'm still squaring this crush with the fact of being gay, but if I think about the fact that I only had two what-I-would-have-described-as-crushes on boys between ages 8 and 18, and about the fact that the second crush also ended up being gay, and about the fact that more and more and more childhood crushes on girls resurface by the day... it starts to make a little more sense, lol. I think coming back to this video was actually quite validating, too, because if I think about the prospect of pursuing/ending up with a man vs. pursuing/ending up with a woman, one undeniably makes me _exponentially_ happier. It's nice to be able to actually sit with and recognize that contrast now.

[@clancycollins7751]

Thank you so much for sharing this. It makes the world a better place when someone shares her story about coming out and showing acceptance to others. The fact that you explain how you discovered yourself helps people who don't understand that a sexual preference or orientation is not a choice. It just simply isn't. The need for explanations is shrinking I think in part because of people like you. Again thank you.

[@94lydiarose]

"seems you're only bi if you're single" So much truth.

[@maddyclarke9977]

Im 15 and this video has really helped me. In a way, im a lot like you Rosie, and it frustrates me that people assume the worst from bisexual people. I mean, i have dated both girls and boys and i dont see how there is such a different. Obviously there is a difference but i mean in the way you are attracted to them. when you fall in love, you fall in love. There is nothing you can do about it. Thank you so much again Rosie, i love you so much!

[@safiefitz8619]

Love this video. Now I know more about the feelings of bisexual despite the prespectives that other tend to put on them. Clear explaination. Thank you.

[@alexhowerton5411]

Your story and your life and videos just helps give me confidence :)) You are so awesome

[@Elphenor333]

Your passion is gorgeous ! Just love you! You are so right ! Thank you for sharing. ❤️

[@madison1234566]

Rosie, I think you're great, and it makes me so happy that you and Rose found one another. I think you're fantastic role models. It drives me nuts when people disrespect bisexuality, and you do an excellent job of defending it. As a lesbian, I'd be more than happy to end up with a bisexual girl (or one of any other sexuality, as long as they want to be monogamous with me), and I wish everyone was as open minded. Life would be a lot easier! Love your channel!

[@razzygirl91]

I love you both, I love your hair in this Rosie, I love the way that one of you films a video and the other one sits in the room listening in silence with respect :) xxx

[@Way2Kute2BeStraight]

I totally related to the respect thing you were saying! I try to explain that to people how disrespected i feel when a man approaches me or my girlfriend when we are together and we are obviously a couple like holding hands or something...And i absolutely hate how two women showing affection for each other in public is like almost impossible to do without being sexualized by men because they dont respect our relationship but a man kissing a woman doesnt get that same reaction. It makes me sad and angry all at once.

[@aoryward]

I thoroughly enjoyed your coming out video. Well done and congratulations on coming out over the years!

[@Whimsicalantlers]

Thank you so much for sharing your story. Bisexual experiences need to be heard and I'm so grateful to you for speaking out and being a positive role model to LGBTQIA youth.

[@xXghostdog77Xx]

This is a great video! Thank you for telling your story. I'm a bisexual man and i completely understand the feeling of "It's. a phase" all all of that bullshit that narrowminded people say. Anyway I love you guys keep up the amazing work!!!

[@xXghostdog77Xx]

+George Harrison Oh really? So you know me? Nope I didn't think so. So go fuck yourself kid.

[@lizzyhampton]

I'm 14 and bisexual and this has definitely helped me not feel so alone because my parents have definitely just shut me down and told me that I just can't possibly know

[@Pagyptsian]

I had to deny my bisexuality with my boyfriend for 8 years because he felt threatened (even though I was always 100% loyal and he ended up being the cheater). I denied it to myself because I saw no reason to explore the other half of myself because I was with a man. There was no point if I'd never get to be with a woman. Now I realise that accepting that other half is just as important even when I'm with a new guy right now. Now that I accept it, my sexual life and relationship has actually enhanced because I'm not holidng anything back. He is bi too and the same has happened to him :)

[@Viootoku]

Such a truthful and honest woman. I think you and Rose are great, congrat's on engagement!

[@QuietBiscuit]

I'm bi and I feel like you're right about us being less accepted in the lgbtq community I've had girls turn down a date with me bc I'm not gay I'm bi. I also get told that I'm not bi because I've never gone the full way with a woman, but I know my feelings so screw those guys

[@ktfaulkner-kelly1683]

Preach it girl! I'm a lesbian, and I have had more than one guy tell me he didn't mind if his girlfriend/wife who was bisexual got flirty or kissed me etc.. That really was kinda insulting, I agree! My fiancee is bisexual and we have been together for almost eight years. Like you, she's still bisexual and I watch people call her lesbian despite knowing... yep definitely bi! Even if your coming out seemed "easy" you have a great story to tell, advice to give, and points to make. It's helpful and I appreciate!

[@panicatdx]

i love and respect her so much! and i can totally relate and agree with her. thank you so much for making this video.

[@steffyaus]

Thanks for making this vid! I don't come across on coming out vids on being bisexual. It's nice too know when growing and discovering my sexuality I'm not alone. Bisexuals need more of a voice and thanks for helping out even though you are only one voice. It has made a difference in my life and wanna say thank you for that :)

[@oonagh8552]

[@alecellis]

seeing comments like this on other videos kind annoys me (idk why) but on this particular channel (and others) it made me feel a lot better

[@Hoff_karoli]

I love this. Every single word of it. Thanks Rosie. I love you.

[@GilmoreGirl1607]

I'm bisexual and no one else has ever been able to put into words everything that you just did in regards to bisexuality. Thank you so much for sharing your story Rosie, and for helping me better understand and accept my own.

[@MaggieJones1953]

Brilliant and very well explained. Thank god young people like you are the future.

[@bdtibbs1]

I’m 76 and have led both lives. 21 yrs with a man. 3 children. Not a great relationship. 8 years with my second husband. Only man I ever loved. Both were cheaters. I knew at some point I would be with a woman, it was meeting the right one. Married to her for 23 yrs before she decided the grass was greener. As far as I’m concerned I don’t have to label myself. I’m me period. Men are attractive and so are women. Doesn’t mean I want to have sex with either one. That’s all. If I told my wife or everyone else a lot that I was bi on social media. I’d be disrespecting her. She’d worry and I’d never ever want that. You have good advice but ever since I’ve been watching, and it’s been a long it’s mentioned so much. If I put myself in any box I wouldn’t be true to myself. Why would I want to think about that when there are so many other people that feel they should. This all happened in the early 60’s and 70’s. I think you really need to put yourself in that box because you’re so adamant about it. You think to much. You get angry to much. So if all of a sudden and I don’t think it will happen because you love Rose. But for some reason you left and hooked up with a man. The explanation is already there for us Because you made it clear that you are bi.

[@mcbabers]

13:39 and on; LITERALLY THE STORY OF MY LIFE. Thank you for putting it into words and into a video. Hopefully it will educate some of those ignorant people.
