Im new here and just wondering.....

[Cantthinkofafunnynickname]

Am I the only bi-mum on here?

I doubt it.

Why would you think you were?

didnt see any other threads or people shouting "Im bi"!

That may be because it's a parenting site, not a dating site.

There is a section for lesbian/gay parents in the Childcare section though, knock yourself out!

Make that 'Being a parent' section.

ahhhhh thanks for that

Well I wouldn't think its necessary for people to make a point of declaring their sexual preference on a parenting site

To be honest, I couldnt care a stuff about what anyone else does and who with in the privacy of their own bedroom and usually its irrelevant to the subject

no but perhaps (as being new) I could chat with other like minded mums

Why would you only want to chat to other bi mums? Do you parent differently to straight mums?

Nobody here cares about your sexual preference, you're not gonna be treated any differently because you like women.

No but perhaps I could talk about some of the problems I encounter being bi-sexual and they can relate to that

Ok, whatever you feel comfortable with.

Welcome by the way :)

What problems?

Hi - if you've not found that topic yet its here

Does it actually matter? I talk to loads of posters on here, on Twitter and on FB. It never actually occurs to me to wonder what their sexuality is, as it's totally irrelevant.

thx for the welcome

thx for the thread

Its no different to me asking if anyone else is a step parent. It doesn't matter if you are or not, but if I have some specific questions about it, thats where I'd want to go IYSWIM.

Isn't the whole point supposed to be acceptance regardless of sexuality?

I do - as said Im new here and dont class myself as a lesbian or gay - hence why I was asking if there was a thread

This is going to sound totally stupid, so bear with me please, but what sort of problems do you encounter? I can see that you could come across prejudice if you were openly living in a gay partnership/marriage, but are people really that prejudiced about someone being bi?

I don't agree with the prejudice, just to make that completely clear. It's just a sad fact of life that there are some incredibly ignorant people out there who need shooting educating.

believe me there is/was

had to move for a while as was repeatidly called names and other stuff becasue ppl knew I liked girls

Sorry, that is awful Cant, but we're not like that here. It's quite civilized apart from Friday nights and I hope you don't get any prejudice from anyone.
