Just came out to mom, I don’t know what to do

Yes, this.

In previous discussions I've posited that straight and gay are exactly the same thing, and consequently each is easily understood by the other. A straight person can understand the motivations and desires of a gay person...they just recognize that their arrow is pointing in the wrong direction.

Bisexual is the same, all the same drives, but they're confused and can't make up their minds. But, again, same motivations and feelings...just directed wrongly.

(Not making judgements, just trying to explain the differences)

We aren't wrong. We are from a whole different planet. Heck, Kinsey had to invent a different scale for us.

It makes sense that allos would have a hard time understanding us. We are that fundamentally different.
