I love my boyfriend. He’s a straight man who has never really had much contact with people in the LGBT+ community, and it’s not for any negative reason. His home town and even the town where we currently live are racially diverse, but there aren’t many LGBT+ people.

When I came out to him as bi back before we started dating, he was confused and worried and a little put off. But he didn’t understand because how can you understand something you’ve never experienced first hand? I did my best to explain to him that even though I’m attracted to both men and women, I can still fall in love with an individual. He still didn’t fully understand, but he was at least trying to.

When we started dating, I noticed he was really jealous whenever I’d talk to anyone who I got along exceptionally well with even if I considered them more as a brother or sister level friend than anything else. He told me he was worried he wasn’t enough for me. That he was worried I would want to have a girlfriend as well as having him as a boyfriend and he didn’t want to share (for lack of a better word). I tried to explain even more what it really means to be bi, and he started understand more.

We’ve been together almost a year now, and he’s been really supportive and while still not being able to fully understand the way only a bisexual person could, he understands as much as he can. He knows that while I am attracted to both men and women, my heart is his and his alone and I want no one else.

This Pride month, he has gone above and beyond what I ever expected even with the simple things. He pointed out to me that Bungie has a pin for Pride that gives you an emblem for Destiny 2 and told me he thought I would like that. He also pointed out in various other video games the simple little additions like a frame or an icon background or just small things like that that are related to Pride, and he equipped all of them that he could to show his support. He’s helped me decide between which of my four Pride shirts I own to wear when I feel like showing some Pride (“I put the ‘Bi’ in ‘Bitch’”, “The Biloceraptor - There are no friends, only prey”, and “OH NO EVERYONE’S SO HOT” all in the bi colors, as well as a shirt from the last Loveloud concert I attended) and he even commentates on which his favorite is that day and why. He arranged our chests in Minecraft in rainbow order and said “Allie, look! YAAASSSS QUEEEEN!!!” when he showed me. He debates with me over who would get the first date with Scarlett Johansson if she asked both of us for dates alongside various other female celebrities were both attracted to. Yesterday he showed me one of his cell phone games he plays where you can customize banners and backgrounds and castle colors, and he said “I’m really happy they have this event going on because I get to show my support for you. I hope you like it.” He had rainbow flags, a cannon that shot rainbows, and his background was from our favorite movie we watch together. He told me he was trying to collect all of the Pride gear so he could make it even better.

It’s the small things, but they mean so much to me. I’m not out to my whole family yet. Only my mom and sisters (and possibly one brother-in-law who I forgot had my snap) know. My dad has a glimmer of an idea, but he’s always been a little stingy about it because he’s one of the people who doesn’t understand a bisexual person can’t just choose to be lesbian or gay or straight because they’ll always be attracted to men and women both despite whatever their relationship appears to be. I love my boyfriend so much for caring enough to want to understand and to show his support for me and for the LGBT+ community. Sometimes all a person needs is one person caring just enough to make the small things mean the most. He even offered to let me paint his toenails bi colors when I was feeling particularly depressed (it didn’t happen cause I can’t find any of my nail polish).

I love him so much.
