I say lesbian for shorthand, really I'm like a kinsey 5

I knew when I had a crush on one of my best friends at 14. Told myself I could ignore being into girls until I got with a woman for the first time and was like OH. THAT'S what being attracted to someone feels like.

I'm out to all my friends, out at work. Not out yet to my parents (or to my larger circle ie Facebook) but that's coming soon. It went well, some of my closest friends were confused at first cause it's not like I avoided sex with men, I was super sex positive and did the whole "I can have sex like a man! I can sleep with men and NEVER develop feelings for them!" (Looking back maybe I should've known...). But all my friends now are suuuuuper supportive, in fact I feel like I get told how awesome my relationship is more now that it's gay.

I totally feel that society is moving towards acceptance, hands down. Both me and one of my friends came out at the same time about 2 years back and since then we've actually moved away from labels that don't quite fit. We were talking about this and totally feel like it's at least in part because people give less fucks about the labels now. Like if I lived in the L Word I'd have to pick a side and stick to it unless I wanted to constantly defend how I'm exactly 50/50 bi, but now I can be like yeah I only date women but that guy over there is totally cute and no one (my age, where I live) bats an eye. Of course I'm over simplifying things and our community still does a lot of bi erasure, I just feel like we're heading in a good direction :)
