Hi everyone, I am proud to announce that I am bisexual. After decades of struggling with internalized homophobia and biphobia, I got into therapy, started taking Lexapro, and (2 weeks ago) made the decision to embrace, enjoy, and lean into my bisexuality. I am making the conscious decision to embrace all the beauty of my experience, the ambiguity, and uncertainty.

I am a white male (he/his), 45, I am married to a woman that also identifies as bisexual, and I have two small children.

I am here for a few reasons. First, I want to learn about how to celebrate and lean into my bisexuality within the context of my marriage. Second, I want to learn about bi-culture and how to contribute. As a middle aged white man who has come out in a marriage where my wife is also bisexual, I have a lot of privilege and I want to learn about how that privilege can benefit others. Lastly, I want to learn how to re-imagine and re-create my masculinity because the version of masculinity I present to the world (and in large part identify with) is a straight, white masculinity.

That's a lot. I'm out to my wife (who is excited for me and wants to be a part of my journey - she knew and loved that part of me before I did), my therapist, and our couple's therapist. I love being bisexual, I feel free, and if I had to choose a sexuality it would definitely be bisexual.
