(no subject)
Hey all. I just joined, amidst the seeming flurry of new members.
Name: Kels, or Puck if you prefer
Age: Mentally too old, chronologically too young
Gender: Female
Orientation/ Preference: Bisexual, leaning
About me: So, I am still in high school. Bleh. My sexuality came into question only two years ago. Before that, it was a given. I didn't question it, my friends didn't question it. Now, I have no idea. I label myself bisexual and such because it makes sense. However, I don't know sometimes. Being bi isn't easy, it's not necessarily fun, and I'm sick of being told my orientation doesn't exist or that I'm insanely greedy for appericating both men and women.
I also grow weary of the division in the GLBT community over matters such as whether or not the BT half deserves to count itself part of the community. Sure there are different issues, but that goes for each piece of the community.
IMHO, this divisive thinking is just what homophobic people wish to see. They want us to fight amongst ourselves, because the remaining factions will be easier to contend with than all of us, working together to help reach even the most individual of goals. If I allowed the things said about my sexuality to push me from the community, I'd be a very lonely person. I wouldn't stand nearly as strong in the face of opposition as I do, knowing I have so many people backing my words, voicing my opinions.
I love the family I have found. I hope to keep it, even if they don't always get along.
Sorry...Some of that seems to have branched off into a rant I've been internalizing for about a month now. If you want to hear more about me, or to discuss anything at all, feel free to comment/ IM me.
