Talk about anything GLBT.... (coming out issues, growing up gay, etc.)

Bi: they hurt me so bad!

Postby BelleFilm » Thu Feb 16, 2012 10:58 am

I came out the other day as Bi to my Facebook friends, it is something I have known for a long time but finally said it because my (Mormon) fiance told me not to be afraid and that he accepts me and loves me for who i am. Well his family (whom i love with all of my heart and think the world of...) feels differently, these are some of the replies i got from them....

My Fiance's Dad:
"____, Since you posted this in a public domain, knowing my family's feelings on the matter, knowing that we are going to read it, I will respond in kind. I am sorry that you feel the need to scream your insecurities to the whole world. I also am concerned that while you clearly know my families position on the morality of homosexuality, you continue to post this material while planning to marry my son. Joey is my precious sweet son and I love him with all of my heart. It is hard under the best of circumstances to let go of a child. But you young lady feel the need to routinely and publically air your sexuality and past transgressions like salutations. I find that heartbreaking and disrespectful of my family. You can't have it both ways. You can't refer to us as "the wonderful mormon family that you are marrying into" in one FB posting and then post this sort of content in the next. Wonderful mormon families, as you know, find any sexual activities outside of marriage to be a block to one's exhaltation. Now, whether you believe it or not is for you to decide. But, to know how your future family feels about out it and to continue on your diatribe of postings, clearly demonstrates a thorough disregard for our feelings or lack of judgement verging on the imbecilic. You are free to block or unfriend me. But, as long as you are planning to marry my child, I am obligated to state my position. Right now my position is that I am sad as I contemplate your's and Joey's future together."

His Brother:
"I never said anything one way or the other about _____'s orientation. Codi, perhaps unintentionally, reiterated what I said: This was not handled in an adult, face-to-face manner that could have drawn our family closer together. Rather, ____ has chosen lately to continually drive a wedge between us and Joey.

I have said nothing hateful to any of you or negative towards ____ or her orientation, yet you all have responded like jackasses and put words in my mouth that I never said. Re-read my other comment if you don't believe me." (this is not true, he said hateful things earlier in the convo)

I also received many comments of support from others, to clarify, Joey knew and MY parents knew, not sure why its his parents place to know at all let alone before i let my family and friends know.. Im scared because i love them so much and do not want to lose them :( that would kill me.

I know this seems scary but to anyone out there undecided about sharing who they are, please DO NOT filter yourself for others, those that truly matter, will indeed in the end be there for you and love you as you are for WHO you are!

Love

thank you stewart! i plan to, i replied to it and so did my fiance, however we plan to at some point when i am ready to meet with his family to clear up any confusion or concerns they may have, i think they believe that being bi means that i am going to act on my attractions to both sexes while married to Joey, yea... not gonna happen any more than him acting on an attraction to another girl, we are very devoted to each other and i dislike their ignorance on the topic. but i will be me and hope they accept that, if not its very sad but joey is not leaving me, joey loves me for who i am and that means the world to me.

much love

I am so thankful that Joey is there for you and isnt going to leave you! I am so sorry that you have to endure that judgment. I am not putting his family down but since they proclaim the Mormon faith, why are they judging you? And I know we all fall short of the glory of God but that matter, his dad should have waited and spoke to your face not over the Internet where it would cause you extreme embarrassment. I just wish that everyone could love EVERYONE for who they are. So what if someone is different from you! Just because you like both genders does not mean that you will sleep with both, especially while married to Joey!! All it means is that you are attracted to both. You can't help who you are attracted to; the only thing you can help is acting on it. I hope that hen this is all said and done that his family can see eye to eye with you and realizes that you are a wonderful young woman and puts this all behind them. I love you girl!! Don't let anyone bring you down!!
Always keep your head up high for hope soars, and up high is where you'll always find it and it's brother, love.

*lots of love*

Heather14 thank you so much, very very well said and I do not understand it myself either, I do not get why especially in this day and age people are still judgmental and ignorant and mean. THank you for your support for both Joey and I. I promise to let you know what happens. LOVE YOU TOO!
