Yes, I'm black. No, I'm not as "normal" as some people would like but, why should that define me. Only a few people know that I'm bi and those who know accept it but I have this one friend who just thinks I'm confused. She's cool enough for me to joke around with about my sexuality but as soon as I do she's quick to say that I'm just confused. I'm NOT confused. I don't feel the need to choose but I've been thinking and I don't care anymore. From now on I don't want to be labeled as anything else but her's (her being my wonderful girlfriend). And about this black thing. This year I stopped hanging out with my stereotypically black friends and I started hanging out with people I think are much more like me and so much cooler. About a billion people have pointed it out. (exaggeration, of course.) But, today it was just like wtf. I was in the bathroom and this girl started talking to me. I guess I said something weird and she said, "You know what, you're not black anymore!" First of all, my name means black so what the hell does she mean that I'm not black anymore?   From now on, concerning any other labels, I only want to be labeled as ME which is still being labeled but at least it's my label. :sly:   Does this make sense?[/quote] FAQ Keyword Search: Post Options Favorites Manager Notify me of new replies to this topic by email Notify me of new replies to this topic by private message Original Post Luvme4eva Posted at 1:17 pm on Nov. 26, 2008 Yes, I'm bisexual.

Replies abbigayle303 Posted at 1:35 pm on Nov. 26, 2008 don't change for anyone if u wanna b bi then continue, do what makes u feel happy 2kewl4u2know Posted at 1:22 pm on Nov. 26, 2008 Just if anyone asks, say you don't go into any category, you're just you.  But really, you can't expect no one to label you, people will always label.  Not necessarily to always be mean or condescending though, sometimes that's just a technique people use to remember certain aspects of people the meet/know. forfallonyy Posted at 1:22 pm on Nov. 26, 2008 u have it a lil lucky ' cuz for me im bi im emo/goth/punk/scene and im black with a lil bit of white and i just get made fun of NikkiInkz Posted at 1:20 pm on Nov. 26, 2008 I get that.
