I am proud to be bi, I'm pretty open about it. I'm not out here just sleeping with anyone but I've had both girlfriends and boyfriends

I feel like being proud of something you can’t control is crazy. Like I’m all for loving yourself and accepting yourself. Fuck bigots and all that shit. But like are you proud to be your current height? It’s just what you are. And being proud of something you can’t control doesn’t make sense to me

That’s a fair point. I think the process of coming out is something that’s worth being proud over. It’s can be hard and often lose friends or family.

I feel ya, I suppose the sentiment is becoming proud of something people taught you to be ashamed of in the first place. If the former wasn’t there, there would be less of a motivation to be “proud” because sexual orientation is just a neutral characteristic. Society has created the asymmetry.

That’s a fair point. Being proud of your accomplishments/ moral traits is good! And honesty and bravery definitely falls into that category. I’m a straight guy so I don’t have that. Thank you for the perspective
