How's it going ladies and gentlemen, my name is Ben (aka, BronyGeeks) and I am a bisexual male. Although I am bisexual, I do feel like I am more romantically attracted to men. I am currently in 10th grade, but have known that I was bisexual since around 6th grade. Even though I began to come to that realization at that time, I kind of denied it and hid that part of me away until about a year ago. After finally accepting that I was bisexual, I decided it would be a good idea to tell my close friends about this. And so I did, and it was such a great decision. They were all so supportive, and it gave me some people to talk to about this. The only problem I have is telling my parents. I have come out as an atheist and a brony to them, so why this terrifies me to tell them, I have no idea. For some reason, I have this idea that they will reject me, and I can't stand the thought of that. Anyways, I won't get too much into that. I guess that pretty much sums up my story in a nice little paragraph. Thank you for reading, and I really hope I can make some new friends here.

Ben, First off welcome to the Forum! I am so glad you joined and I hope you find our variety of topics helpful to you! Matt and I created this forum as a safe place to turn when people don't know which way to go! My advice on telling your parents is do it when you are 100% ready to do so. If you come out to them simply because of the pressure of feeling the need to do so it will only cause resentment within yourself that can be projected back at the ones you love the most. So take your time and do it when you feel ready, I hope everything goes well for you! Please keep us updated and I look forward to getting to know you better! please let us know if we can help in any way. Matt and I are available 24/7
Much love, Rae**

Ben,
Welcome to the forums! We are glad you are here!
I do not know much about your back story, but I know when I was coming to terms with myself, I went through a period where I identified as "bi-sexual" however, I always noticed I was much more attracted to men romantically, and girls as just really close, best friends. I was so scared to come out to my parents because I was raised in such a religious family that I knew it would be devastating. Which it was, but in the end I felt like I had a giant weight lifted off my shoulders, and I was finally free to live my life how I wanted to, and not have to lie to anyone else.
I hope this sheds a little bit of light on your situation, and I am here 24/7 if you ever need someone to talk to! ~Matt
