ColoQ Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 It was actually one of the first in a REALLY long time that I enjoyed. That was the minimum of it, but they dont know anything about my sexuality, bc in their mind, Im married to a guy so Im obviously straight...bwhahahahahaha! So they just make dumb comments, we all laugh at them, and then they leave with their ignorance (I have long since given up educating them, it just fails miserably...so let them be stupid and know nothing about my life, suits me fine.)... My in laws have re-written me from Bisexual to straight, because I've married their daughter. My mother in law can have conversations with my wife, her other daughter, and her gay son about how attractive Channing tatum is, but the moment I chime in you could hear a pin drop. Its tiring. The only "family" (there are other reasons I put quotes there too), I have come out to, and the instantly minimize it. Even more tiring is when it comes from a different source. My Girlfriend's room mate, who is (and I quote), "Full-on Gay" constantly undermines that relationship by trying to convince her that I'm going to "leave her for boys" shortly. So... apparently to both sides of the spectrum my sexual / emotional attractions don't exist. ?

Bekah Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 ASK ME ABOUT MY GENITALIA u.ummmmm genitalia. But yes, that was absurd...people do the same thing to people of other races, religions etc. and I mean it's better than violence or hatred, but still...there is a better way.

Bekah Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 One thing I have noticed, since being more open about my sexuality with my husband/kids. He is just like a kid in a candy store, but deep down has homophobic attitudes...typical straight guy "ooooh sex with more than one girl, awesome" but the thought of me being in a relationship with another woman, or two gay men in relationships and all that...bothers him still...and that bothers me. Oh well, I have such a hard time in relationships in the first place, I may never actually be in more than one anyway...so it might not matter all that much what he thinks.

ColoQ Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 I think my tone came off kind of dejected and grumpy. I was intending for for indignant disbelief with a touch of frustration as a means of commiserating with ya'lls points. One thing I have noticed, since being more open about my sexuality with my husband/kids. He is just like a kid in a candy store, but deep down has homophobic attitudes...typical straight guy "ooooh sex with more than one girl, awesome" but the thought of me being in a relationship with another woman, or two gay men in relationships and all that...bothers him still...and that bothers me. Oh well, I have such a hard time in relationships in the first place, I may never actually be in more than one anyway...so it might not matter all that much what he thinks. Being in poly relationships are hard. This is my first one: and I have an amazing Wife, and intensely respectful girlfriend. I conclude that it is hard and *not* for everybody. In some ways the spouses / long-term relationships work harder than the others do. *Shrug* Tend your garden and see what grows, really. At least your Hubby isn't poo-pooing your daughters curiosity about her attraction to girls, right? How My wife and I started being "open" was I had a frank talk with her very early on, and basically said "Look Hon, I love you.. but you don't have a penis. I want one in my life every once in a while. So what can we do about that?" Can't offer anything helpful so have some kitties:... Thanks for the link, those are great!Thank you for the support! Though again I may have come off *way* more morose than intended. 1 Quote ColoQ || Level: 0 Techno Troll || Assassin ========================= Current Challenge: 0 - V.2 Previous Challenges: , -------------------------------------------------- STR 0 || DEX 0 || STA 0 CON 0 || WIS 0 || CHA 0 -------------------------------------------------- Link to comment

This kind of relates to my above post... I'll admit I'm a little eh about the idea of two men, or two women together. At the same time though I accept it as their choice (so long as they're consenting adults) and have no right to force them to do different.

Bekah Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 familiarity really is the gateway drug to empathy. (a quote from Machete's Ted talk he posted)That is SO true. It's true for eliminating racism and religious discrimination as well, like Insanity said, we are afraid of the "other".

In the end though, I don't think you'll ever be able to fully get rid of it and forcing people to accept it isn't the right way to do it either.
