If it is okay to be bisexual then why do bisexual people have to hide it? Why do our parents scream at us about it?

Sandman agony auntWhat may be okay for you might not be okay with others. So while you believe you're perfectly okay and everyone should except you for who you are, others might not believe the same things. That's when prejudice steps in. Because you're not like them, believe the same things they believe, think how they think, feel how they feel - you are someone different and because you don't fit into their mold of how a person should be, act, and feel - they just become prejudiced against you.

Parents are harder. It's probably because the act bisexuality is very close to homosexuality and if you are gay, you can't give them one of the things they probably have been waiting for for a long time - grandchildren. It's a loss for them. But they, like so many others, will learn to accept you for who you are and love you just the same. Just remember to love yourself too.

Hope this helps.

Jamer70 agony auntPeople will be prejudice against Bi-Sexuals because it does invole a degree of same sex relations. Though they are not completly gay, but this is what comes to ome people when they think of Bis. Some people are ignorant that way.

As for parents screaming at you thats wrong and they must have some of this prejudice themselves or it could another reason. Just know its your life to live, live it how and with whom you wish

a-g55 agony auntThere is prejudice against. Inbreds, black people, asians, americans, british, gays, lesbians, bisexuals, prearranged marrige, people with piercings, goths, disabled people, cheaters, sex before marrige, criminals.

there is a lot of prejudice against people in minority. You have to decide weather you can handle the predjudice. If you can then be secure, if you cant then be in the majority.

Parents want the best for thier child and sometimes it is embarassing that they have created a child "that way inclined"

A reader, anonymous, writes (1 June 2008):

I think that if people are prejudiced against bisexuals then it's because it still involves homosexuality and even though it's not completely homosexual it's still not completely 'normal' as perhaps some people would say, so that's probably why. Some people are just afraid of anything that's different or that they can't understand.

And I hope your parents have screamed at you about it if it was your parents that you're talking about, they should be happy if you're doing what makes you happy.

xx Hope xx
