Also, your identity is whatever you say it is, regardless of who you've slept with. I know people who identify as straight but have had homosexual sex too that they consider 'exceptions'. There is also the term hetero-flexible which basically means the same thing. I don't see why there couldn't be homo-flexible too. Or any other identity you choose for yourself.
I know there's a stigma and a lot of discrimination towards bisexual individuals which is something I just don't understand. A whole lot more people are likely bi than are comfortable admitting it because of the stigma. I'm sorry that you've had to deal with that and been hurt by it.

Thanks so much for your reply. I really appreciate it. For the most part I have the attitude "I am who I am. Take it or leave it." At moments though it does bother me. I do know I will work through this and be able to accept who I am.
