My Dad Keeps Teasing Me Because I’m Bisexual

I grew up in a household that believed girls liked boys and boys liked girls. So, when I started to feel attracted to my best friend, I was unbelievably scared… Every time I looked at her smile or hugged her, I felt… Differently. I was totally crushing on her. It helped me realize that I’m BI. Deep inside of me, I knew that being BI is part of who I am and it won’t change. But I was tired of lying to everyone and it was especially difficult to keep this secret from both of my parents. I knew it was time for coming out.
