“I’m sure many bisexual guys feel the same and end up doing as I did: letting other people’s assumptions of straightness stand uncorrected. Perhaps out of fear of oversharing. Under the guise of privacy, maybe. Probably because ‘masculinity’ is a most fragile currency, ready to nose-dive at the first sign of vulnerability or difference. And because it’s really f–king scary to give up your privilege. Without a doubt because stigmas of indecisiveness, infidelity, deception and trendiness are still clinging to bisexuality.
“But here’s the thing. Silence has the perverse effect of perpetuating those stereotypes, making bi guys invisible, and leading people to doubt that we even exist. No wonder it’s still a chore to acknowledge bisexuality without getting into lengthy explanations. So yes, labels are frustrating and words, imperfect. But I’ve always considered myself bisexual. Not confused or trying to look edgy. Not disloyal. Not ashamed. Not invisible. Happy #bivisibilityday this Wednesday.”
– Actor Francois Arnaud, star of The Borgias, on his bisexuality.
Your honesty and bravery is definitely rare. Truth be known, you would be hard pressed to find someone who hasn’t experimented or at least fantasized about a same sex encounter. People like to label you as straight or gay, no in between. Though it is usually true to lean one way or the other, there is a gray area that a lot of people fall into. Again, I admire your honesty and lack of being stereo typed. Love it.
He won’t have any problem finding fellas to grow his bi-ness with. WOOF! So handsome.
