Yesterday was Bisexual Visibility Day. It's a day for those in
the bisexual community to stand up, declare their bisexuality,
and proclaim their seat!


This last weekend has been nothing short of transformational for
me. I went to the 2nd annual bisexual pride parade in West
Hollywood, CA.


The event started off with a festival where I was able to meet
new friends and eat good food, then a parade walking around the
streets of West Hollywood. The bisexual flag was flying high
above us all, while we chanted rhythmic chants in support of
bisexuality. It was pretty amazing.


I could sense the pride and comfort that so many people there
felt - they finally felt as though they're being not only seen
but acknowledged. However, what they might not have been able to
see was how I was feeling.


The entire time, and I mean, the whole time; I was feeling a deep
sense of sorrow and remorse for my lack of participation in the
bisexual community. Here I am, a gay man who has come so far in
his life - living out and proud. Meanwhile, there are billions of
bisexual people who are still today, in 2019, living in the
shadows. And not just "the shadows"... MY SHADOWS.


Here's the thing, I refuse to sit back, have the platform of LGBT
Stories and not acknowledge that so many of us in the gay,
lesbian, and trans communities have devalued or belittled the
bisexual community. I have so many times witnessed bigotry in our
community directed towards the bisexual community. It's not ok.
It needs to continue to be called out, and it MUST stop.


And I say this directly to my gay brothers, the slander, and hate
that our community cast over the bisexual community is
unacceptable and disgraceful. How dare so many of us do precisely
what was done to us decades! Do not act as though it doesn't
happen, because you and I both know that it does, and it.


And that is why I am so pleased to have Sarah share her story on
the show today. I put a call out on social media yesterday for
someone explicitly bisexual to share their story on LGBT Stories
because today's episode airs one day after Bisexual Visibility
Day. I am glad that I did.


When Sarah sent me the audio of the performance that you're about
to hear, and I listened to it I was deeply moved by her way of
telling a story, but more so by the continued confirmation of
what people in the bisexual community struggle with daily. I
encourage you to listen to her story and especially those of us
who are gay, lesbian, and trans; try and see commonalities in
your own life experiences.
