When I was in 8th grade and I realized that I had a thing for guys n' dolls, I began identifying as bisexual. It makes sense I naturally did that, as I had never heard any other term other than LGBT and Ally. And clearly I wasn't straight.
I told my sister, and though she would hint at it to my mother because she thought it was funny, but she never flat out said it.
A while ago, I came out to her as asexual, and it was a different story. She has shared it with my mom quite a few times, and my mom doesn't believe it's a real thing. However, it got me thinking: because asexuality is a lesser known sexual attraction, do people think that it's not as a big deal as being LGBT and therefore it's not something that is a secret? (wow sorry for the horrible wording of this)
