is it necessary to come out to the world

[Corsac]

Oh, and in regards to the Bisexuality being a transitional phase in to full homosexuality - I don't agree. It may be for some, but I know for myself that I truly am very attracted to both women and men. So, I don't feel like calling myself Bi is convenient, it's merely accurate.

Its seen as a transitional phase to Homosexuality because there are a number of Gay people who do come out as Bisexual to begin with. I used to work with a Bisexual guy who was always thought of as gay because of this.

For some, they think giving people the idea that theyre still attracted to the other gender will "soften the blow" from hearing that they like those of the same gender. I almost buckled under the pressure of thinking that my parents would disown me and got tempted to tell them that I was Bisexual when I was coming out.
