It's normal and healthy to be yourself, whether you're bisexual, gay or straight. What really matters is that we learn to like ourselves the way we are. Because of society's stereotypes about bisexuals that we've all grown up with, you might think that you have to be a certain way to be a bisexual. But bisexuals come in all shapes and sizes, from all occupations, and with all levels of educational, racial, and cultural background. Because of homophobia and prejudice, some people don't accept bisexuals.
Bisexuals suffer from discrimination and violence, just like gays and lesbians.
That's why so many gay and lesbian organizations now include bisexuals in their work for civil rights. Unfortunately, you may also experience some prejudice from lesbians and gays, based on old myths and stereotypes about bisexuals being unreliable, sex-crazy, not queer enough, or whatever. Just do your best to educate them the way you would with any person who is judging people from a position of ignorance. AIDS is incurable, but it is preventable. Use a fresh, undamaged latex condom every time you have oral, anal, or vaginal sex.
