just knowing that its ok to be bi

[ALIENaSINGa]

ok from the begginning it may sound seriously horrible but ive had the feelings for both male and females since i was in the 2nd grade i hate the factthat every where i go i here " those gays are this " and " those gays are that " know because of everything i here from the adults the churches the religions around me i dont know if its ok to be feeling these feelings and if its ok and if its right to be who i know deep inside i am. i need advise badly.

It is ok. It is completely fine. I am a gay Christian so not all religious people will discriminate about you As for adults they grew up when homosexual rights were minimal. The world has come on leaps and bounds since then with gay rights.

When I came out I was so scared but all my friends are fine with it and resepct me for having the stretgh to tell them.

Over time I hope you will except your sexuality.
I and the rest of teenhelp are here for you.

Hi there.

First off, there is absolutely nothing wrong with what you're feeling. Love is love, and being attracted to guys, girls, neither, or both, is perfectly fine. Some people aren't accepting of LGBT people, mostly because they don't understand, or because they feel like it's 'wrong', somehow, whether that's because of how they were raised or the religion they choose to follow. But who are they to tell you who you should or shouldn't love? You can't help who you fall for, and you should never be made to feel bad about it.

There are always going to be people who will find some imaginary fault with you, whether it's because of your orientation, your race, or the clothes you wear. But that doesn't mean you should feel like you have to suppress your emotions, or pretend to be someone you're not. If people can't accept you for you, it's their problem, not yours. I know it can be hard to ignore them, but that's the best thing to do. Build yourself a support network of people who love and accept you, to combat the negativity being thrown at you by these people.

Remember: be proud of who you are.

Take care.

As usual, Sidhe has covered all the bases, but I'm going to go ahead and write anyway.

Welcome to TH I'll tell you now, I'm also bisexual, and it is frustrating when you hear about the prejudice that remains. But there will always be prejudices against things we cannot change.

If somebody discriminates against a woman, she will carry on being a woman. If someone discriminates against an African-American man, he will carry on being African-American. It sounds silly, but sexuality is one of those things that can't be changed. The only problem is learning to live with it. There is nothing wrong with being who you are.

There are people that are prejudiced, but I promise you there are more people that aren't prejudiced. Find those people around you, and they'll take care of you

Best wishes x

"But who are they to tell you who you should or shouldn't love? You can't help who you fall for, and you should never be made to feel bad about it."

This is so true I'll definitely try to remember this!

The churches say god made you, and he made you what you are and what you know you are.

I had a friend who said much the same thing. it wasn't okay, but it was; it's always okay, as long as you can say who you are, in any aspect of your being... Say that you accept it, and it's okay.

If you believe something, its halfway real, of someone else believes it with you, it's the truth. And I believe it.

Basically, it sounds kind of weird, and my English isn't great, but no matter what I say, it will only be right when you say it is.

You're feelings are perfectly natural. If you're bisexual, pansexual, straight.. whatever you are, it's ok. Congrats to you on admitting it, even if it's just online, because a lot of people have the same fear as you and choose to try and ignore it or keep it hidden. Love yourself for who you are, because there's only one of you.

If you believe in God, or a god.. Who is to say that you're God doesn't love you? Because mine loves me. From a religious point of view, we were all created for a reason, and since there are so many lgbtq people, I feel it must have been a good one.

From a non-religious point of view, there will always be people that find it wrong. But like said before, there are so many other people that will respect you for who you are. If you're friends say anything negative, or go against you in any way.. understand that those aren't real friends. Real friends will come around, and they will eventually come to realize that you can't change who you are.
