Interesting - this sounds like my hometown...sort of. I don't really know where to start....

Okay - so there are a lot of gay people in my hometown - when I was in high school there were pretty large groups of gay kids at all three high schools - and on the evenings/weekends they'd all come together at a local coffee shop - I hung out with them all - it was a fun time.

Now - I however, hate labels - but for all general purposes I guess I can be considered bisexual. I've had amazing relationships with both men and women...BUT I fit no stereotpye either - and I get SO MUCH **** from the gay community in my hometown (which i just left a few months ago).

There is a large group of stereotypical mean drunk/druggie lesbians who are just awful -(not all - just a specific group in my town) and they've all dated/screwed each other and it's a mess....I don't fit with that group ...everyone else pretty much keeps to themselves....my gay male friends all moved away and now hang out with absolutely NO women at all...haha...

So question - why is it that people who consider themselves "bi" get so much ****...I'm not selfish and actually have not dated a women in more than five years now I'm not a nympho...I believe in being with one person and one person only etc....however, me and a friend of mine who is also bi have been like pretty much ostracized by some of our gay friends...when we chose to date a man... I have also heard people say that bisexuality is bull****....it's a "Stepping stone" - that, I think, is bull**** since I've felt this way my entire life...seriously...

I think I may have stopped making sense a while back lol - so I'm gonna stop typing now...
