I'm glad things are turning out better for you, and yes, that IS brave. People are understanding gay people more and more these days, but bisexuality still lags behind in people's understanding and tolerance. I saw a Jimmy Fallon segment where they showed a commercial of people just blurting out their sexualities, "I'm straight and I love to shop here", "I'm gay and I love to shop here", and when one woman said, "I'm bisexual and I love to shop here", there was a noticeable uproar in the audience's reaction, more than the other customers. Most people still do tend to view bisexuals as being promiscuous. Hopefully that will change soon though. Good for your parents for supporting you.
