How do I tell people that I might be bicurious?

[NightRose]

I told my mom last night and she acted like sh was In a awkward position.. If my Mom didn't know how to respond, how will I tell my dad? My mom told me she'll love me no matter what, but also that she thought I was to young to know what I was saying and understand.. Unless I'm misinterpreting my dreams, Im pretty sure I know what I'm thinking. My brother and sister and dad... I really don't know how they'll respond. Will they love me if I told them? There are some friend that I think I should tell, but they're all LDS (Mormon) and I know that the LDS don't approve of gay marriages, I'm not saying I'm going to marry the same sex... But I don't think they'll feel comfratable around me..

I'm almost 16 years old and a girl.

If you are still bi"curious" I don't really know why you'd bother telling anyone. Not to sound rude (see, I bet you're now thinking this going to be rude, don't you, :P) but if you aren't completely (or just about) completely sure of your sexuality, why tell them? If you mean bicurious as definitely bisexual, then that's different.

i would hold off on telling people around you for right now as i used to be part of the LDS (mormon) religion/church and long story short i am no longer a part of that.... make sure you really know what you want first....

I would hold off untill u know for sure
tbh i still havent told my mom about me being bi yet

[JimmyIsNowAMan]

If your family is part of the LDS I'm pretty sure you know what would happen if you told them. There's no time limit on finding out if you're straight, bi or gay...take your time and when you know, you'll be confident in letting them know. But make sure you know what the consequences will be in coming out to a LDS family.

I haven't told my family either and I agree.

[War-Is-Real]

Um, well you go, "Dad/Mom I think I want to know how it is to fuck a guy" and leave before he/she replies. :T And hide in your room for three days.

Your mother will love you no matter what [she did tell you this :o ] but until you can feel out how a particular friend or genetic relation (family memb.) will react, I would hold off on telling them until you aren't scared for them to know. If you want to try to find a partner without having to worry about public judgement, then you may have to look for love outside of the LDS area. If you really want one of your other family members or a couple of your friends to know, see how they feel about gays. Listen for when something comes up in conversation about it in the world, ask neutral questions to see if they are open to it, or even say that you don't like it that the church (for the mormon faith when speaking to your friends) is against a whole demographic's expression of love/commitment! i.e.- its not fair that they dont want someone to marry just because its not what they're used to. I'd only use the final suggestion as a last resort because challenging somone's religious morality can backfire on you. There's all sorts of things you could do, but choosing the one that you can live with is the one you should do. Will you be happy with your partner, your family accepting, and are you comfortable in your community? pm me if I'm too confusing.

Just say it. I don't know what Mormons believe exactly but for example in Islam, being homosexual is not sin, having homosexual intercoarse is sin. Probably it's also like that in what you believe. Also tell them being homosexual (Think it also as bisexual) is a natural thing. Tell them the fact that it's related to the genes. You can watch this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-IpE1bKZCM it's in English but it has Turkish subtitles just listen. It is telling the truths about homosexuality in hilarious way. Also you can't force them to accept you first. You need to make them believe that it is normal. That's why I want you to watch thiss video.

i know this may come off the wrong way, but i actually don't think you should tell anyone. the reason for that is because you are only "bicurious" so you really don't know what your sexual preference is yet. i think you should just wait until you are more sure of yourself before you rush off to tell people that your sexuality has a new label. the bicuriosity could always just be a stage too, as it is for many.

Until you determine your sexuality, you don't have to tell anyone. It's just not their business. See, I consider being bicurious, being straight. But my opinions differ greatly from most peoples, so you might want to get more opinions and decide what's best for yourself. Hope this helps!:)

Completely agree, being bicurious is basically a stepping stone of sexual idtentity, it's like passing through an airport just for a transfer.

Completely agree with Steve here.
Can't give you rep Steve you were the last person I gave it too :P

By the way ignore this

I don't think you should really tell anyone until you know for sure if you're lesbian or bi. Because you are bicurious, maybe you should go out with a girl. You don't have to tell any of your friends or family until you know that you like her, or at least know that you have feelings for girls. Then tell them. Maybe your mom first because she did say she would love you no matter what. And once u get comfortable with the idea, tell the rest. But remember it doesn't happen fast, its a gradual process of feeling comfortable with your sexuality (if u actually end up being lesbian or bi). It took me a few years to realize I am bi, and I still haven't told my family so I know how you feel. GOOD LUCK:)

When you go past the curious mark is the time to tell them. Bisexual is when you can see yourself in an emotional AND sexual relationship with both sexes. If you can feel that then yes I would suggest telling them.

[dontfiguremeout]

One thing people do is they label themselves to quickly! Once they label themselves too quickly, they will end up thinking they are, and it starts to grow on them. That's the main reason why most people are gay or bi, is because they labeled themselves way to quickly in their teen life. So I would just way longer when you know puberty is COMPLETELY done.
