I'd almost forgotten it was today.

Hi, I'm Kim, and I'm bisexual. I've been married to a guy, and I had a long-term relationship with a woman. I've looked at and been attracted to both genders for as far back as I can remember. Some days I skew more toward het; some days I skew more toward lesbian.

I'm out to (most) of my friends, some past co-workers, and my son. I'm still cautious about who I come out to in my regular, everyday life, because I live in a very small town smack dab in the Bible Belt, and while I could deal with any repercussions toward me, I also have to consider my son and how his life might be affected. Someday I'll know the time is right to tell my family, and someday I won't have to be cautious about who I'm out to, it'll just be a fact. Not just yet, but some day.

Meanwhile, I support LGBT causes, and work hard within my little corner of the world to stop negative thoughts/comments about being queer. To banish some of the stereotypes. I have a zero tolerance plan in my home: there will be no homophobic comments, slurs, no saying 'that's so gay' when what's meant is 'that's so stupid'. I educate my son and his friends whenever possible.

*hugs* to everyone who's out, and to everyone who wants to be but isn't able to be yet, and to everyone who supports someone who is out, or wants to be out.
