Bi or not...

[Smeagol]

So, first of all, I support LGBT rights, always have. But then I realized, I might be bi. That might be my sexuality. I was ok with that. But I wondered if it was my sexuality, really. For isn't one's sexuality defined by being physically as well emotionally attracted? I can't be physically attracted to anyone, I am not sexually turned on by anything that I know of... but I am attracted to people because of their personalities and their skills at the arts such as music, writing, acting... both sexes. Not equally, because when I was a lot younger I thought that only different sex relationships happened. Then I met a lesbian couple who are really nice and then I saw them kissing and I realized that yes, they were in love. I was amazed, and then I was like 'yay I can date my best friend'. But, honestly, sharing saliva isn't my thing... neither is any amorous physical activity... am I weird or is it a normal thing to be attracted only emotionally?

That would technically be called, if I am correct, Biromantic Asexual, meaning that you could be romantically attracted to either sex but not have any physical attractions to anyone.

Thats good to know. I just made myself a rainbow necklace so people can see who I am and I'm gonna be proud of it.

[CrossingtheCourtyard]

I'm glad to hear that :D

Actually, I was thinking last night... long and hard. I think that I am yes, asexual, but I do crush on girls way more. I always try to come up with precise words for how I'm feeling, so, I'm thinking its called homoromantic asexuality?

[CrossingtheCourtyard]

Yeah, I think Homoromantic Asexuality is when you only have romantic feelings for people of the same gender and no physical attraction for any gender.

OMG I just came out to my brother and it was amazing. He just said, "I knew that. I thought you told me earlier." but I hadn't so, idk what he was thinking.
