The idea of being open with the outside world that I'm Bi is something that I've thought about for long time. I know that there are risks. At some point, being honest and open is going to trump my fear of being misunderstood, judged, ostracized and rejected.
My close friends know that I'm a bit different as I'm not afraid to look at things from a different perspective. My intelligence signals through my language/ action that I fully support Gay and Lesbian causes and freedoms. Being Bi is very different than Gay and as most of us have encountered, it's hard to fit into either the completely straight world or Gay world.
I've seen the logos for Bi and don't feel like that really works. I'm not willing to just blurt out or wear a sign on my forehead that I like both. Perhaps there is a more subtle signal, logo, pin, shirt... something that we can use to help identify one another. My hope is that we stop living in the shadows. We could really be a support to one another if we are more open.
This site could be a great platform to bring this idea back around. I know it's not as active as it once was but we can change that. What if...
1. We got more active here?
2. We invited people to join the conversation?
3. We brought more people here?
4. Started active groups around our area?
Looking forward to hearing what you think. How can we help one another more?
