How do I become straight again?

I’m bi too. My family is a bunch of traditional right-wing nuts, which makes things difficult, even though I love them.

I feel like, from your statements, I’m not sure what your situation is, so I’ll give a few different answers:

If you mean you’re bisexual in that you’ve experimented with girls, and it shames you, and you don’t want to continue, then you’re not bisexual, and you don’t need to explain anything to anyone.

If you mean that you have been with both guys and girls, and enjoy both equally, or at least enjoy both, then yes you are bisexual, and there’s nothing wrong with that. It’s who you are, not some disease or problem or mindset you picked up along the way. It’s always going to be part of who you are. You will only be more miserable if you try to deny yourself who you really are. As for your family, if you are bisexual, then you don’t need to come out to anyone. That is your call to make, but if you feel it would cause more problems than it would solve, like I do, then just don’t bring it up. Believe me, you can get away with so much more with other girls than you can with guys, if your family is clueless. Like you can say, I’m going over to my friend Kim’s house to spend the night and they tell you to have fun, not “No, you’re not allowed, because it’s irresponsible and something could happen.”

Yes, there may come a time when they need to be told, but my policy is, just be who you are, and don’t make it an issue. Don’t bring it up as a personal issue, but start getting them used to the idea, like when the topic of gay marriage comes up, tell them what you think. I’ve personally witnessed a daughter coming out to her parents and it causing their eyes and arms to be opened, not the front door to be slammed shut. Hopefully one day that’s what I’ll experience, and I truly wish the same happiness for you.

I hope that helps.
