FacesAbout Me
I’m a writer, traveler, musician and I work in the event industry. I currently have just moved from Hanoi, Vietnam to Palm Springs California. Prior to that I lived in Brooklyn NY for about 13 years. I’m a funny guy who likes to tell long colorful stories. I enjoy good food, good people and the great outdoors.
What Being Bi Means to Me
It means I can love whoever I want to love
If the World Knew About Bisexuals
That we exist.
My Path to Bisexual Identity
I’ve always known I was Bi but had to “choose” for many years between Gay and Hetero relationships. I had a lot of really hard, confusing years when I was younger. I’ve only managed to be out as Bi with my romantic partners and close friends. Seeing more acceptance of Bisexuality has encouraged me to be more and more “out”. What a relief!
The Toughest Thing About Being Bi
Non acceptance from others. Finding other Bi people to relate to!
The Best Thing About Being Bi
Having a heart capable of loving beyond gender.
How People Reacted When I Came Out
Mostly positively among my close friends. I have had some problems within the gay community but I see that less and less. I’ve had to adopt an attitude of not caring what other people think. Its another story when it comes to someone I fall in love with…. The most negative and confusing reaction was when a woman I was in love with and living with for 5 years said to me in surprise, “You still consider yourself Bi?”rnI was very disappointed, I thought we knew eachother..
