Wedding dates......tricky subject
I horrified my mom at the prospect of bringing a woman as my date to a friends wedding. She knows that I've had relationships with women as well as men, but since my last so was a man I think she thought I was "fixed" for lack of a better word. She if very catholic.

Do any other bi find themselves having to come out all over again every time they have new date or relationship?

1. Yes. That's why I use the term "bi". Every time I have a
relationship, people are sure I've joined one team or the other...until my next relationship.

3. As a gay man Im thankful I dont have to come out over and over again
its not something I have even thought of to be honest. Thanks for bringing it up - its one more thing I need to improve on when educating people about what its like to be GLBT.

4. glad i could help
I have noticed that people who are truly ok with my orientation don't need reminding, most of my friends.....my siblings and such.....but those who don't approve or understand, seem to need constant reminding....
