often think the 'B' in LGBT is overlooked, and
that there are no real guidelines for acceptance
in our community. How do you feel? That’s so true. I’m glad you brought this up. I’ve
been out for 12 years and I’ve recently started to
realize how little visibility there is. Even for myself.
I know very few other bisexual people who are
out to connect with myself. It’s very important to
be out as bisexual, specifically for this reason. A few years ago I stopped allowing people in
interviews to refer to me as gay. If you’re going to
mention my sexuality, it has to be bisexual, and
that’s it. I decided I needed to be a voice for that.
It’s very overlooked and I’m not sure how or
when that’s going to change, I think it’s just more education on it from those who are bisexual.
There are so many misconceptions and
assumptions about it. I’ve watched people’s
minds change over it; if I bring around a guy or
bring around a girl, no one’s surprised.
