My best friend, my family, my BROTHER

My brother and I have been close since we were little. He IS my best friend. One day we were sitting and talking about all the crazy stuff in our life and I jst came out and told him my ex girlfriend was getting me down again. He just sat there kinda in shock like “what??” and nodded his head and said sorry. I have told only him and my friends. He’s the one that kept telling me I should tell my family but I’m afraid of how they ate going to react. I’m 20 and have known I was different since I was 12. I have a bf and I love him and a son from another guy and I’m bisexual so I catch a lot of criticism for that. I’m slowly coming out but it’s HARD!!!!

Confused

I have been sexually attracted to men for a while, but seem only to connect emotionally with women. I’ve never had any sexual encounters with members of either sex, though I have made advances towards women. I have been parading as completely straight, but I know that’s not the truth (a confession it’s taken me over a decade to admit to myself). Last week, I was prepared to come out to one of my friends as entirely gay, but I don’t believe that’s true either. I realize that would mean that I’m bisexual, that my preference is ambiguous, and that’s disheartening. How can I come out to myself and others if I have no clue which gender I’m attracted to? I would really appreciate some help.

Long Road to The Truth

Well as long as I can remember I have always said I am straight and refused to be anything else. However I always had this part of me that was attracted to girls and I knew it but I just continued ignoring it.

Don’t get me wrong I was raised by my Mum to think that being gay is just fine in fact a lot of my friends are gay and I have no problem with it I just never thought of myself as gay or bi.

A little over a month ago I think it was now I decided oh actually I am bi. Lately I have been leaning more towards being attracted to woman but am also still attracted to men.

When I told my Mum she was great about it but lately she has been really pushing me to be gay. This sounds strange I know but she is constantly asking me if I’m gay and won’t let it go. So for me I feel like she is telling me I can’t like both but the truth is I do.

For me its still a struggle to decide if I’m Bi or gay I’m not sure I am ready to decide just yet. I just hope that at some point my Mum will let me decide on my own and stop pushing me.
