I know it's only in the US, but, right now, I'm making it official in Brazil. o/

It's been... two years now since I first told my mother I was bisexual. I've changed a lot during this time, I've grown, I've acquired new friends, I've taken care of old ones... And yet my mother and my father have always and in every way respected me, especially on this matter. They've always backed me up, asked me about my girlfriends without budding in, taken care of me, given me good advice, been understanding, been, above all things, the best parents I could ask for.
Of course they're not perfect. But, they're very close from it.
Few people know what I have been going through, since I was thirteen, when it comes to other people's parents. Fewer people know what my girlfriends and friends had to endure. I just hope that everyone will start to be more conscious and get out of the narrow-minded world they live in. The day will yet come when gay people will be able to kiss in public shamelessly, without reproachaable looks or getting kicked out of places for doing so, get married, form a family, and be accepted.
We - Brazil in particular - are still crawling when it comes to that. A lot of obstacles are yet to come, and they won't be easy. My parents are my greatest example that changing is possible. And I couldn't be more proud of them.

Yeah.
For some reason, I feel like getting a 'Metrobius is love' gay colourbar. *-*
I think I'll go read The Grass Crown, Suetonius or some other equally gay book now, to celebrate. \o/ Maybe Mists. Or The Bible.
Hum. The Bible sounds pretty good. Go see
Romesome porn!...?
Sorry. That came out all wrong. I meant: I will ask you to make a colourbar on super-Photoshop. o/
I probably won't do it, but nice try. o/
Ask our son. *grins*Well, I'll try to find someone else.
Maybe L can do it for me?
Oh! Good one. He may fall in love with Metrobius, though.
É, esse é um dos pontos que eu não tenho NA-DA pra reclamar dos meus pais. Ainda bem =)
Se eles se incomodassem com os seus amigos gays e drogados seria demais. xD
A couple grammatical notes:
"Without budding in" should be, "without butting in." Odd phrase, I know, but that's how it is.
"But, they're very close from it," should be, "But they're very close to it." You're far from something and close to something else.
Oh, thanks a lot! I will correct it.
W really need to make the grammar lessons come true.Of course.
Tomorrow evening good for you? Chris can't make it Friday...of course, we can always hold court without her. But I might have things to do then...Tomorrow evening is fine. It's aholiday here. What time?*blinks* Runi, I can't make it Friday because I will be in São Paulo -- which means, basically, with her. o.o'Your parents are great. And I miss your mom a lot.
And I guess I miss you too*grin*
Glad to see that you and Christy weren't killed in your sleep. Methinks that most countries are backward when it comes to same-sex relationships.
Also reading further down Christy's comments, I took her to mean gay... lesbian... fully homosexual, rather than a fellow bisexual so I apologise for assuming once again.
Let's start again.
My name is Jessica. I am 16 and I am bisexual [flitting towards 'pan' actually *shifty look*]. Nice to meet you.
*mwah*
My name is Christy. I am seventeen, and I am bisexual [flitting towards 'fully homosexual', actually *shifty look*]. Nice to meet you.
*beams*
*shocked*
I really should just expect the unexpected shouldn't I?
Lol.
Maybe you lot just sound more mature. Most of the people I know my age can't even write or speak their language properly and also they sound so immature, so everyone who sounds intelligent makes me think they're older than me. When I first got to know
Methinks I should abandon my thinking once and for all. XD!
lika an old maidolder as well.Well, most people I know my age can't write or even speak proper Portuguese as well -- let alone English. People do sound older when they don't use bad old webspeak. *grins*
...like an old maid, wtf?And... I don't really look old, unfortunately. Wish I did, though. xD
*agreed*. You are an old maid.*blinks* ...*points and laughs*
*grins*
Hey, I'm Kelly.
I'm straight. For the most part. *thinks* Yeah, I'm pretty sure.
*shakes hand*
Most countries are. Which is a pity, really. --'
Nah, it's fine. *points* Like Christy herself said on that comment, I'm also flitting towards "fully homosexual". I know I like girls more. I just like to have the option, you know?
My name is Luiza (you can call me Lu, though - everyone does). I am 16 and I am bisaxual. Nice to meet you, too. o/
How you doin'? ;;)
I'm... confused. Who are you?
Anna/Minako. Eu era do grupo Ordem da Fênix e nós participamos de um monte de eps juntas. Isso ajuda? :)
Que saudades absurdas que eu tenho de você! Vou te adicionar, ok?
Eu sabia que vc estava viva pq vc é famosa e vira e mexe vejo seu nome mencionado em algum lugar, mas não sabia que vc tinha um LJ. *adds also*
Bom te "ver", Lu! Espero que seus pais e sua irmã fofa estejam bem.
Como assim, eu sou famosa? Onde tem visto meu nome? Oo Eu também não sabia que você tinha um LJ! Como me achou?
Muito bom te ver também! As duas estão ótimas. Eu acabei de ter uma irmãzinha pequena por parte de pai agora.
