I’m fairly neutral but I don’t like that along with the rest of the lgbt people seem to hate us

    Hmm. That’s an interesting question that I’m not entirely certain how to answer. There’s a lot about myself, including my personality, that I would change if I could. But being bi isn’t one of them. It’s also something that when I accepted the label felt somewhat freeing. I no longer denied certain things about myself. I wouldn’t want to go back to before that. But it’s also not something that I did choose, it’s just something that I am.

    As for the prejudice against bisexuals, even in the community, my feelings on it are that some people will simply be hateful. There are plenty of reasons people might be hateful towards you. Your sexuality is only one of many. One of the baseless ones, too. You know that if someone hates you for being bi the kind of person they are at that point. The kind that will judge you based on how you were born rather than the choices that you’ve made in life. I don’t see appeasing those kinds of people worthy of changing something about myself. Again, I have much that I regret and many things I would change about myself. But being bi, no. Does that mean I like it or dislike it? Neither. It’s just something that… Is.
