Have you Ever denied your homosexuality or bisexuality?

Question

If so, how?

Answer 1

When I was 14 my mother asked me if I was gay and I told her no. I hadn't accepted that i was gay and to keep myself safe i didn't want to tell people that i'm gay.

Answer 2

I lived in a very deep denial of my bisexuality for 29 years. I used to say that I was so straight I had problems turning corners. What a waste.

As of three years ago though, I stopped denying who I am and now out myself to people if the topic comes up.

Answer 3

Yes because to out myself at this late date could put my job in jeapordy and I am only a few years away from retirement. I am bi and figure that as long as I am content in my life, then my sexuality is no one's business but my own. If this were years esrlier, I might have taken a differrent approach but it is so late in life for me that it does not matter. I am single and there is no foreseeable change to that on the horizon so my orientation matters not. When the guys at work ask, I tell them that I am "buy-sexual" and will engage a hooker should I so desire sexual release, saying that way I can send her on her way before the complaining starts. People laugh at that and it gets them off my back without furthur qustions.

Answer 4

Well I didnt deny it till I started High School and realized that I was going to get teased by all the kids if i didnt make some changes and started to do and be who I was "supose" to be, now offcourse I was still myself but I went on to thinking that i was crushing on "guys".
From as long as I can remember till 13, I had fantasies about girls, and then when I hit high skool I stopped fantasizing. I would "crush" on a boy like I'd say his cute n whatever but i just went home and tottaly forgot who i was crushing on, i never fantasized bout boys and being with them romantically... I asked my mum. do you stop fantasizing after u hit high skool? But then realized that no u dont, u just dont fantasize about something u dont like coz when i fell for a girl at 14, i was fantasizing like crazy , I basically knew who I was, but if anyone asked I said "straight" till I finished High School which was 8 months ago. But I came out to my mum and some friends a year or so ago. Most of the kids at school knew but no1 dared to ask me..and thank god skool is over!
Now I only tell people I think I can tell....I dont tell anyone at work, I think some people are suspicious but no one has directly asked me if i am, so I havent said anything.
It's not that important anyway, itsnot like I go introducing my self, Hi im ****** and I'm gay....lol...no need.

Answer 5

Yes, many times. When someone asked if I was or ever had gay feelings, I'd deny it. But that was in high school and this is now.

If they were to ask, I'd most likely tell them the truth unless they were too young.

Answer 6

Yes, I denied it - I denied it to myself for years. I was straight, dammit. Of course, that meant I denied it to the few people who asked... each time ticking against my soul, making it harder and harder to lie to myself.

Since I came out to myself, if that makes sense, I've never denied it. I've taken my sweet time going on the offensive and telling everyone that should know, but I would never, ever deny it.

Answer 7

Yes,

One day, when in the 11th grade at a fundamentalist baptist school, my friend, at the lunch table, asked, "Are you straight?" We were surrounded by about a dozen other people, none of whom, luckily, seemed to hear his question. I took a cue from them and feigned deafness. I am pretty sure, though, that the redness of my face--a nasty habit of my sympathetic nervous system--belied my assumed ignorance. Nothing more was said.

Answer 8

Yes, I've denied to other people and myself. I used to go to church and my cell leader once asked me jokingly whether I was lesbian, and I replied of coz not. and she said she felt relieved hearing that.. I felt really miserable inside trying to hide all the time.

i keep telling myself I must be mistaken, maybe I'm just confused and everything will be alright when I meet my Mr. Right.. blah blah blah..

until recently i finally admitted to myself that I'm bi. Freedom!!! :)

Answer 9

Oh, yes a million times. Every classroom I am in, during the first day that is the first question they ask me. ANd I said no even though I am already girlish they just accept my answer and I feel guilty about that because my MOm is my problem and not them......

Answer 10

I myself am bi and I have denied who I am many times and I have finally gotten up enough to just let myself be who I am and be proud of who I am. It's perfectly normal to denie who you are at first but once you find who you are it pretty much comes easy to except yourself!~!

Answer 11

I do all the time people will ask me and i just say no... I'm still working on getting it all straightened out with myself so i don't feel like I'm ready to be telling everybody yet.
