Ok so I’m a 15 yr old closeted bi girl. I’ve kept my sexuality a secret for the last 3 years and last week I decided I was gunna tell my mom.

In past conversations she seemed perfectly fine those who identify as gay or lesbian, however it’s when I bring up bisexuality she seems to have a harder time comprehending.

So what I wanted to do was see if I could get her opinion on bisexuality before I came out. Anyways, I started a conversation and I managed to bring up girls who identity as bi specifically. We started talking and she brought up the point that females tend to be more touchy, so it’s probably common for them to be bi. She also went on to explain how bisexual females are probably experimenting and will go back to a man or when they get older. She said “I think people who are bisexual, are experimenting for the most part-like eventually they choose”

I decided that I wasn’t going to tell her, I’m afraid that she’s going to tell me it’s just a phase. However, back to my original question, I’m not sure if she’s ignorant or biphobic. Personally I feel as though she is ignorant, but I also have a biased opinion considering she is my mom. She never said anything necessary mean about bisexuals but her comments still made me anxious about coming out. So do you guys think I could possibly change her perspective if I explained bisexuality to her more in depth?
