What's with people wanting to "come out" as being bisexual?
Ok, I totally get it if you're gay/lesbian, cause down the line people might try to set you up with someone and it might be good for them to know you aren't going to be interested. But I don't really get it for people who are Bi. I personally say I'm bisexual but I have never worried about saying "mom, dad, I'm bisexual" or coming out to friends. I have mentioned to them in the past that I am but it wasn't a big announcement. Also, if you're bi, then who really needs to know? If your friends try to set you up with someone, odds are you could be interested in them whatever their sex. So why are a fair few young teens asking "how do I come out and tell my parents I'm bisexual". Maybe don't, if you start dating someone of the same-sex, sure tell them then. But otherwise, it seems quite pointless to me. Your thoughts?

I agree totally! WTF cares if you're bisexual? You can go through life without telling anyone anything about it, and nobody would know the difference.

I agree with you 100%. I often think that the only reason bisexuals even ask this question or consider it an issue is just their need for drama and attention.

pretty much, unless your going out with someone of the same sex you shouldn't really need to even tell your parents.

First I want to say that your experience is completely okay. It is really normal to feel like your sexuality isn't some big deal that you need to tell everyone about. But that isn't the only experience people have.
Some people (including me) see sexuality as a core identity. My queerness makes me who I am in a big way. It informs my view on politics and socializing and lots of other things. It's not the only thing that makes up who I am, but it is definitely a piece in the puzzle. When I realized that I wasn't straight, it was a big deal. I had a lot of Feelings with a capital F. And actually, more than the identity itself, that process of self exploration was something that I wanted to talk to my parents about. It felt like without knowing that, they wouldn't really know me.
Both of these experiences (and anything in the middle) are really valid. People see their sexualities in so many different ways, and none of them are wrong.
