I’m just tired of people treating us like shit. I don’t know why I care. Why do people live to hate?
I don’t think about them as much now. I stay educated and up to date on the news, I do research and vote for people who make a difference, and I moved to a place where there are people like me. I spend time with my SO and feel happy about it. The people that hate usually get to know me before they know I’m bi. Once they see that I’m a normal person who just so happens to have a boyfriend, they tend to chill out.
Glad you found an accepting community, do you mind if I ask for some advice?
Sure!
I have a somewhat similar approach. Although I put purple laces on my work boots. Usually people learn I’m poly shortly before I’m bi though. While they usually don’t ask much about me being bi they tend to ask about the poly side.
Makes sense tbh. I’m bi but I’m very monogamous. Never understood how people can be poly. Not to say its a bad thing
Most of the hate I see is projected through the news. There is some intolerance in my family, but we have an agreement. The friends I had before I came out who couldn’t cope are not my friends anymore. With time, I’ve grown to accept how those people saw me. They really didn’t see anything in me that they disliked. It’s not me. It’s how they understand LGBT lives to be. And it’s flat out wrong. I know that I’m living a normal and happy life being out and gay, so that helps me forget the hate. Another thing is that I’ve found a small community that supports me, and treats me as an equal. That’s an important thing for every LGBT person.
I try to think that maybe those people are so insecure about themselves that they shift the blame to others?
