Hi, I‘m Joshua. I am Bisexual.
So, I'm Josh. I'm a truck driver from Oklahoma City, OK. I enjoy writing, gaming, music, concerts, theater, and festivals. I have family and friends all over the U.S. As of this writing, I'm engaged to be married. I lift weights to stay in shape. I'm kind of a beer snob.
Bisexuality is just who I am. I've know I fancied lads and lasses alike since I was a child, but it took decades before I was comfortable with the word bisexual.
I spent most of my youth in the closet. I grew up in a blue collar southern suburb where it wasn't acceptable to be anything other than straight, so whenever I found a guy I was attracted to, our encounters were limited to the discreet and purely sexual variety. In my early thirties, I finally found myself in a social situation where I felt comfortable openly identifying as bi. After that, I started coming out to a few of my closer friends, and finally coming out publicly.
I guess I would have to say the toughest thing is trying to connect to the larger LGBT community. I don't feel like a lot of LGBT people see me as one of them, especially when I'm in a hetero relationship.
I'm not sure how honestly I should answer this question.
People have reacted surprisingly positively. I came out in a social climate of acceptance.
If you think you're bi, there's a pretty good chance that you're right. Coming out won't be as hard as you think.
