well...ok you're actually right.

I've been all over with myself on the sexuality thing - and now I don't label - I take things as they come. Many don't believe bisexuality exists - but from first hand experience it's possible to be sexually attracted to and even fall in love with someone of either sex. I've been there.

But in high school when there is so much pressure to fit into one group or another I came out as a lesbian - I was so out and obnoxious - had a big old gay crowd though - it was a really cool time actually. I had a big rainbow patch on my backpack, wore freedom rings, cut my hair - thought I had to fit into a stereotype...

Now - I just sort of go with the flow...though after being burned and I mean BURNED by one evil and horrid (yet oh so wonderful) woman - I haven't really had the energy to go that route....of course I'm also in the midst of one of the worst dry spells in human history.

Anyway, I digress...I was totally not subtle about it - not at school anyway - at home I was dropping mad hints (of course the giant Melissa Etheridge poster should have tipped my mom off a little) - and finally my sister asked me if I was gay - I said I was....she was supportive but had a rough time with it.

My mom? CRIED CRIED CRIED. Then called my aunt's (by marriage) sister who is a transexual to ask her what to do about me Rose laughed at my mom...then my mom started going to PFLAG

Fast forward several years...I've been in serious relationships with both men and women - I don't so much feel the need to "label" myself anymore - so I don't so much feel the need to "come out" in any way.
