Officially, I am straight, but unofficially, I am bisexual (prefer women) and have known since I was fourteen. Recently, I went out with a wonderful girl, but she broke it off because she is transitioning from being in the closet regarding her sexuality to being public and did not think it was healthy for her to be with someone who "actively" hides their sexual orientation. I completely understand her point of view about not wanting to be a secret, which she was not exactly, and after she broke it off, I realized what a selfish, narcissistic person I had been towards her. Also, I realized that I would have risked coming out of the closet if we could have continued our relationship. Anyway, this has led me to wonder, why should we have to be public about our sexual orientation. To clarify, why does it have to be such a big deal? Why can we not just date who we want to and not answer the question? Why can I not just date a girl without coming out officially, why does it have to be questioned so and be such a big production? Why can't people just be happy and date who they desire? I would rather date a girl and not keep it a secret, but also not answer questions about my sexual orientation because that is private and does not concern anyone else. Best Regards, JAP [/QB][/QUOTE]
