This is a weird way to come back to this blog. Yesterday I made a post to get some more entries in to a drawing for something I really want to win. Today I identify myself as bisexual because I can no longer keep quiet in the face of what is a hate crime and terrorism. (Complete transparency: I believe all mass shootings are acts of terrorism whether or not they're also considered hate crimes.)
So, I am attracted to men and women and am married to a man. That has been to my benefit in that it means I can exist invisibly. Nobody would know who I think is attractive because nobody questions a seemingly heterosexual relationship. But too many of my friends can't hide their sexuality and so I have decided that I can't hide it anymore either. I can't keep my head down any longer and so I lift my head and tell everyone that if you hate people who are LGBTQ, you hate me too.
