This is going to be a long thread... So it's no secret that I'm Bisexual...on Twitter and with friends. I'm more attracted to a person's personality than gender and appearance. I told a couple high school friends when I first expressed my feelings about this and thankfully they

we're accepting. I started telling 1 of my cousins and she told me I should talk to my mom. I was very nervous and scared. But she said she would be with me to make sure she can translate properly (my mom speaks Spanish and I sometimes mess up) and to make sure I was ok.

It doesn't matter who you like or for what reasons, the thing that matters is who you are as a person. And from what I have observed from the streams I lurked, you are definitely a good one at that ;). It was incredibly brave sharing this especially on twitter, and it's admirable
