"Are you saying you are bisexual? "Yeah, I like boys, I like girls. There's really no difference is there? Mr. BBC"
-Velvet Goldmine

It never fails, whenever the subject arises and I mention being bisexual, the next question that arises. "Oh how long have you been bisexual?". It is at this time I grit my teeth, and think."Well gee how long have you been human?". I am not bisexual to be cool, or unique. It is who I am, and for as long as I can remember, what I am. Yes, I did say as long as I can remember. to be quite honest, when I think back to the first time I touched another person's naked body, it was a girl. I was ten, we were playing house, her name was Christa. As I got older, I did repress these feelings and urges. I will admit, I was afraid. I came from a small town. I was already a freak in the highschool, the subject of many beatings. Come on, why add fuel to the fire. When I graduated from High School and started hanging out in the city I know call home, I met a group of people. Now how would I describe these people? Hmmmm let's try unique. I have never met a group of people so open about sexuality before, there's, others. Remember at this time, I was still the small town naive girl. So it was easy for my mind to be blown. Before I knew it, I was transformed. I began to understand who I was as a person, my sexuality and my personality. They were all excepted, and I was taught that if not everyone excepted them, who cares. It is who you are. Since this time, I have drifted away from this group of people, but I still think about them, when I go to the coffee shop where I kissed my first girl in public, or when I hear the first chords of "Science Fiction Double Feature."
