“I stopped telling people I’m bi a long time ago because I’m in a committed relationship with a man. And for too many people, that means I wasn’t really bi. Sexuality is a spectrum and all bi people fall under the same umbrella. It doesn’t fit in. Just because I happen to be in a monogamous relationship and look hetero from the outside doesn’t mean I’m not bi. And please stop saying I’m bi in the media. Hi. The only metaphors for sexuality of any kind I’ve ever felt were ones that felt good but not offensive. Schitt’s Creek I’m talking about liking the wine, not the label. ”

“I’m a man and have been monogamously married to a woman for 22 years, but I’m still attracted to men as well as women who aren’t my wife. I just don’t act on it. I can identify as LGBTQ even though I’m in a heterosexual relationship.”

“I married a man, and people often tell me, ‘You’re not bisexual anymore, you’re married,’ as if your attraction to other people disappears with marriage. I’ve also been told that I don’t look very gay, whatever that means.”

“Just because I’m bi doesn’t mean I’m not monogamous or faithful to my husband. I’m married to him and I have no intention, not even the slightest plan, of being unfaithful to him.”
