Did you first think you were lesbian/gay or straight before understanding you were bi? Or did you accept it right away?

I'd make this a poll if Saidit had that function.

Feel free to share how you came to that understanding.

I thought I was homosexual first, then realized I was bi.

I initially thought I was straight since all I liked was girls at first. I imagine the homophobic town I grew up in had something to do with it too. Then I started finding guys attractive and realized I'm bi.

I thought I was lesbian at first because I'm super into women, and I was always a tomboy growing up, very masculine, but I have found two males cute and very attractive, so I know im a bisexual. I would say it's 90/10 in terms of me being more attracted to women then men. I like my sexuality and who I am, but it's hard to not find my group of people online. Lesbians at least have lchat to go to, I've been on there, and have been rejected for being bi, been called a men lover when I'm a total girls girl. It's been a learning curve to try to find a good space online to share my views and opinions with. I totally understand lesbians need to have their own space, and I would never disrespect what lesbians had to go through to gain more acceptance in society. I wish there could be more solidarity between bis and lesbians though.
