sexe et sexualité Question

I need multiple questions answered... Someone please help...?

I'm pretty sure I'm Bisexual. I've been attracted to both girls and boys before, both emotionally and physically. What I'm having trouble figuring out is:

1. How can I tell people? Should I even tell anyone?
My parents are the "Oh, Bi/Gay/Lesbianism is evil! No child of mine is going to partake in this demonic madness!" Republican types, so I'm pretty sure I can't tell them unless I want to start a flamewar. 90% Of my Friends would either a.) Not take me seriously, ou b.) Make fun of me. I do have one friend I could probably tell, but I'm a little scared to try, even though I know she'd most likely accept me.

2. If I do ever get the courage to admit my sexuality, how do I meet people?
It's fairly easy for a Heterosexual (I like to try not and say 'Straight', because it's making it sound like Bi/Gay/Lesbian people are twisted somehow, when I know they're not) person to get into a relationship, but how do I meet people, possible girlfriends ou boyfriends, if I'm Bi? My community doesn't do much to support this kind of thing, and alot of people where I live have the same vues as my parents. (see the last question) I mean, I know I can probably just go on the internet and look around a bit, but I'd rather avoid that.

3. Once I get into a relationship, how do I deal with people automatically thinking *poof* you're Lesbian! ou *poof* you're Hetero!
This one pretty much explains itself. I know I can just tell them I'm Bi, but I dunno if they'll believe me ou not. People can be very narrow minded and stubborn at times.

4. Not really related to my situation, but... Is Bisexuality and Pansexuality the same thing?
As far as I know, there are only two genders of human living on earth: male and female. Being Bisexual means to be attracted to both genders. Pansexuality, to my knowledge, means to be attracted to all genders. Isn't that the same thing as Bisexuality?

If anyone would be kind enough to answer my questions, I'd be plus than grateful! Thank you!

Up front, I can answer only one of your questions, as I'm hetero, and that's your first one.

Because of your age, I would hold off on telling people right now. You're going to get a lot of the "you're just confused bs", and that's maddening.

As an aside, my 18 an old daughter is bi, and she's told me of her experiences such as that.

I'm thinking your parents are going to have a difficult time accepting your sexuality right now. I dislike the fact that toi have to "hide" who toi are. It's unfair, but the other side is that your parents can and might try to "convert" you, and toi really don't want to open that door.

toi mention toi have one friend toi think toi can trust. If toi really think this person can be trusted, go ahead. It feels great being able to share something that is essential to who we are.

In the meantime, I'd read up on the sites here that deal with homosexuality and bisexuality. They have conseil there that I think can help toi with your other questions.

Sorry that this is all that I can provide. I wish the best for you, and I certainly hope that your own family will accept toi regardless of your orientation.

first off... "Pretty sure"? never make a important choice without being 100% sure... otherwise... later in life toi may regret it...

1.) it is ESSENTIAL that toi remember that some people don't like to hear about your sexuality ou even don't care to know... i believe that toi should wait until a time when toi are trying to get into a relationship with a girl ou are really attracted to a girl to explain this to anybody... otherwise if toi rendez-vous amoureux, date guys and stuff then topic will probably be rendered mute... i mean... if toi rendez-vous amoureux, date a guy then there really is no need to tell anyone. cause it doesn't matter... but if toi start going for the same gender... toi should probably straighten things out... (aka tell people early on)

2.) toi meet people the same way anyone else does but it's just that toi can keep your eye's peeled for the "perfect man" ou the "perfect gal"... so to speak... so i toi meet some one, greet them casually... being in a relationship is irrelevant without l’amour unless you're looking for public appeal ou something like that... so just take your time... fall for someone you've gotten to know... not someone your GOING to get to know eventually... if toi know someone then it should be easier for toi to tell... simple fact of life...

3.) this question... i'm going to be like... toi just deal with it.... there is NO other way to explain that...
toi rendez-vous amoureux, date a girl... as long as you're in that relationship... toi ARE A LESBIAN...
as long as you're dating a guy toi ARE A HETERO...
if not in a relationship YOU'RE BI... sorry to be blunt...

4.)well to put it in the simplest of terms...

Bisexual is being attracted to two genders (usually male and female, but it could be another combination as well). The prefix "bi" means two.
(This includes binary-identified transgender people)

Pansexual is being attracted to all genders. Not just man and woman, but people of all gender identities (such as genderqueer, agender, genderfluid, bigender, and whatever else.
The prefix "pan" means all.
Pansexuality can also be described as being attracted to people regardless of their sex ou gender identity.
But pansexuals can have preferences, too.
