Margo Singaliese

Hi, I’m Margo. I’m a retired teacher and a professional actor. For years I was involved with soley men, but in my twenties and thirties, I found myself attracted to women also. This confused me because both attractions were very real. I usually hid my attraction to women from my teaching colleagues for fear of discrimination. Over the years, I got engaged to three different men, whom I genuinely loved, but each ended because of reasons unrelated to my sexuality. Eventually I happily found my life partner, a woman, of fifteen years. My attraction to both sexes continued but I believe in monogamy, thus I remain happily in my relationship. Many people warned me against therapy, but I must say my therapist was very supportive of bisexuality. Her quote, “You are not a lesbian. I treat lesbians and they’ve never enjoyed the intimacy with men that you have.” I am bisexual, but I love my partner. I control my attraction to both genders because my relationship is very fulfilling. My partner wrote a movie about the origins of our relationship. It’s called “Cassanova was a Woman”. I think all bisexuals can relate to it. rnTo see a trailer of it: www.kickstarter.com/projects/221666836/cassanova-was-a-woman rnrnOur relationship runs very smoothly, but for entertainment purposes, she fictionalized aspects of the movie.

I love people. Bisexuality is openness. It’s crashing down society induced barriers. I was born this way and know no other. I’m a very happy, grounded person.

I would like the world to stop discriminating against bisexuality or disbelieving in its existence.

I initially dated men, but in my twenties, I had a brief affair with a woman. I then was engaged to two different men in my thirties. In my forties, I had brief affairs with both men and women. At 45, I met a woman who became the love of my life.

Listening to society’s disbelief of its existence; I suffered while trying to be either straight or gay.

Liberation from society’s constraints. Openness.

When I was with men, they thought me straight. Now that I’m with a woman, they think I’m gay. My closest friends know that I’m bisexual and readily accept it.
