I'm 22 years old and a junior in college. I am bisexual and last march I celebrated my 3 year coming out anniversery. I remember having my first crush on a guy in the 7th grade. He sat next to me in music class. He was an obvious queer even then. Already an accomplished ballet dancer and gymnast. I was confused by this crush because I was sure I liked girls. I couldn't be gay and like girls too could I? I buried these thoughts for another 3 years until I was a sophomore in highschool. I started having crushes on other guys on my soccer and swim team. I also had a crush on A.C. Slater on that show Saved by the Bell. Pretty pathetic. It wasn't until I was 18 that I told my parents. It went over quite well. I was lucky to have such accepting parents. The whole process hasn't been easy. I quit one college, where I was a starter on the varsity soccer team, to attend a more tolerant one. It has made me stronger and given me the self-confidence to be myself ! and stand up for myself.
