  1. Out to certain folks but not most
  2. I hope to someday it is important
  3. Stigma, religious upbringing?
  4. I am, for 15 years. This could be due to societal pressures or wanting to have children without expensive procedures (hopefully) lack of options (less gay or lesbian people to date in certain areas)
  5. I still feel pretty invisible. Many people ignore the B and think we are confused. According to some: we don't get to talk about stigma around being bi because we get to "pass" as straight if we "choose."

For point #4, I feel you. I'm in an opposite sex relationship right now. myy family is hyper religious and traditional, so I tried for the kongest time to be "straight" and attempted to be gender conforming, but it was hard...

On point #5, what is something we can do as the B to make ourselves less invisible? I agree with you too that I feel we are invisible.
