Since launching in 2015, Still Bisexual has collected so many moving personal stories of people’s journeys to embracing their attractions to more than one gender. Understanding that no one is going to ever give you "officially bi for life" sticker is also important.

As a parent, I definitely want to know when my kids read books about the Holocaust so that I can be sure to answer their questions.

PRIDE showcases all the amazing and inspiring bisexual stories that matter the most to you, in a fun, safe, and accepting environment!

I always used to think that bisexuality was just a thing straight women pretended to do to be subversive/sexy, or a stepping stone to coming out as lesbian, because that was the only way I ever saw it portrayed.

The first thing to note is that sexual identity is not just about who you are attracted to, it is also about how you identify; who you see yourself as and how you want to be seen by others. The problem is that whenever we heard about them they were either described as gay or straight, or even “doesn’t like labels” (not that there is anything wrong with someone who chooses to describe themselves that way, but when it’s used in media it’s always the bisexual people and is a form of bi-erasure). It's only in the last year that I've been 'out and proud' and it 's taken a long time for me to become comfortable with who I am. Talking to other people, especially other bisexuals about their sexuality (as long as they're cool with it and you don't start immediately asking about their sex life) can also be super useful.

But many pan people describe themselves as feeling like gender is irrelevant to their experience of attraction, and that's not true for me. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. I also never experienced intense attraction to guys, so until I started dating my current (and only) boyfriend I actually thought I might be gay.

In an article for The New York Times about the publication of the Critical Edition, Herbert Mitgang wrote that Otto deleted Anne’s mentions of menstruation, “together with a reference to two girls touching each other’s breasts. jokes Jen, "I'm only half kidding—it's honestly helpful to have one's bi identity validated by an external source, even if that source happens to be nine questions about what pizza toppings you like. We’re all so quick to assume the worst about the motives of others, from the Texas educators to Otto Frank, especially when those assumptions support our political prejudices. So I moved to Austin and moved Austin to start my first business and start life over here because I wanted to get away from my hometown for a little bit.

It’s now nearly six years later, and while I’m in a committed relationship with a girl I've love for almost two years, I still identify as bisexual.

It hurt so much that I spent a long time just praying that I could be “normal” and that my dad and I could move on with life like we did before. If you are attracted to people regardless of their gender, and have the potential to be attracted to someone of any gender, you could be pansexual.

I do wonder if I'm more demisexual, but I'm staying under the bi umbrella until/unless I discover differently for sure. My upbringing from my mother was very insistent that I did not actually like women, so I learned very early to not talk about it.

As a sex educator who identifies as bi, I’ve struggled deeply with my own identity at times—and I'm candid about sex for a living! For me, my friends online were some of the most supportive whenever I was questioning anything, or had issues relating to my bisexuality. It’s not unreasonable to suggest that Anne’s Diary be read with parental supervision—especially considering what passes for Holocaust education in some public schools.
