I am a gay and i want a boyfriend
Schrödinger’s Closet
Dear Prudence,
My daughter and her lover are both openly bisexual. We adore him, and their relationship seems to be full of genuine affection. They are each other’s best friends, and I literally saw him step in front of a moving car to pull her to safety. All excellent, right? Well, he comes from a strict religious tradition. I grew up in this tradition too, so I’m familiar with it, and I recognize just how insidious the worldview is and how tough it is to throw off. It’s extremely homophobic: The only acceptable existence is to be straight, marry, and have children, preferably while young.
Recently, I learned that they’ve never had sex. My daughter’s perfectly willing but he is not. They have been together for three years. We live in a part of the country where a lot of people pay lip service to premarital virginity. You can probably guess my worry. I reflect my daughter represents a road to a conventional experience that he’s always envisioned. I comprehend he wants children. I am petrified that in the future (maybe after marriage and kids) he will perceive that he’s not bisexual,

I’m a queer teen. I also have a boyfriend.
Words by Steph (she/her), 21 TAS
I’m a bisexual woman and I have a long-term male partner.
Despite bisexuality being the most common sexuality in the LGBTQIA+/queer community (GLAAD), bisexual people (like me) are still questioned and misunderstood often. When I tell someone I’m gender non-conforming, they ask if I have a girlfriend. When I tell someone I have a partner, they assume it’s a boyfriend.
It’s pretty common for gender non-conforming folk to experience people assuming their partner is of a different gender to them. Assuming everyone is – by default – heterosexual, is called heteronormativity, and it’s prevalent in many more areas of everyday life. For example, when people leave to the doctor, it is often assumed that the only sexual outing they could be doing is penetrative sex, with someone of a distinct gender. Or if you have ever been wedding shopping, you would grasp that the overwhelming majority of wedding paraphernalia is designed for “Mrs. and Mr.”
