Love To The Biphobe

Note: Anyone who subscribes to reading this agrees not to mention my boyfriend's name or any detail pertaining to him anywhere: on any social forum. If you have any doubts, you MUST leave this page NOW.



Dear biphobe,


You are everywhere   among the straight, among the non-. And this letter is my attempt at trying to win you over to my side. I won't give you empirical proofs or measurements. Just pure conviction drives me to do this. And love.


You might be over the shock that there exist homosexuals and transsexuals and transgenders and the intersex among you. But it does sound like giving away too much of your cake to think that there actually might be something like bisexuality. Bad news: there is.


What bisexuality means: that the person likes people belonging to both the sexes and is generally partial to one. (Pardon me for binarying the continuum of sex, Others.)



What you have made out a bisexual person to be: an individual who likes to have his/her cake and eat it too. A guy who likes to sleep with a guy secretly and chooses to marry a girl by day so as to avoid public humiliation. Or a girl who likes to sleep with a girl secretly and chooses to marry a  guy by day for the same lame excuse. Excuse me. *ahem*


I am bound to notice that, if you believe in the last paragraph very earnestly, you belong to that holier-than-thou legion which believes that heterosexuals or homosexuals don't sway. Or that they don't check out people outside of their marital/romantic/sexual relationship(s). Of course, in that case, you're that pious individual who tried hard to turn the other way when a hot person walked by while you were talking to your partner. Of course, it only seemed like you knew them from before. Of course, you looked at them not because you thought they were hot . . . you just thought they were someone you knew. Nevuh Mind.


And if you are heterosexual or homosexual, and if you believe the last thing you'd do in life would be to date a bisexual person, fie. You say you can't handle the competition you'd get from people belonging to both, your sex and the other. I say you can't handle your bigotry and judgemental attitude.


And I'm sure you've met a number of pathetic bisexual individuals. I have met as many, if not more, of mean people. And they don't always all come as 'bisexual'.


I thought of writing you a letter after I successfully convinced my mum about the fact that my relationship isn't frail. If you believe in your relationship, then that's strong enough, irrespective of whether 'bisexual' exists or not.


Love,

A bisexual guy's
boyfriend.
