Ask A Bi Dad: Do I have to come out to my employees?

2 weeks ago | bi.org | Lewis Oakley

Hi Lewis, So, I’m facing a dilemma. I’m the CEO of a large company, and I’m bisexual. I’ve been openly bi to my partner, our children, and friends for years. But at work, I’ve only ever shared that part of myself with a few close colleagues. Recently, I was interviewed for an upcoming book about LGBT leaders breaking barriers in corporate spaces. The book will be published later this year, and once it’s out, it will be public knowledge that I’m bi.
Ask A Bi Dad: Did being bi cost me my family?

1 month ago | bi.org | Lewis Oakley

Hi Lewis, I've been bi for years — an ex first found out and we worked through it together. But now my current (ex) found out after I sexted a trans girl. I know I shouldn't have done it but felt I had to hide that side of me because I was embarrassed and ashamed. Since then, she’s shut me out — both from the house and from seeing the kids. She says I’ve lied about everything and that she doesn’t even know who I am anymore.
Ask A Bi Dad: Should I try to save my marriage, or is it time to go our separate ways?

2 months ago | bi.org | Lewis Oakley

Dear Lewis I recently came across a story about a woman in a relationship with a bisexual man. He wanted to stay romantically involved with another man while being in a relationship with her. It hit close to home. I’m a 43-year-old bi man, married to a 43-year-old straight woman. We've been together for 25 years, married for 21, and have two kids. Over time, what I think of as my “bi-cycle” — the pull toward same-gender connection — has only gotten stronger.
Ask A Bi Dad: How can I stop myself from cheating again?

Mar 12, 2025 | bi.org | Lewis Oakley

Hi Lewis, I am a 29-year-old bi man. I was in a beautiful three-year relationship with my girlfriend, whom I love very much, and we have a great emotional and physical connection. I had been attracted to men before, but I was always in denial of my sexuality. During my relationship, the curiosity was still there, and I went onto the apps to explore my sexuality and talk to men. Though I never met anyone, I knew it was still cheating.
Ask A Bi Dad: Should I accept an open relationship?

Feb 26, 2025 | bi.org | Lewis Oakley

Dear Lewis, I recently started dating a wonderful man — charming, intelligent, and kind. After a few dates, he told me he’s bi and, in his previous marriage, had secretly explored this side of himself. He regrets not being honest, but now that he’s single, he says he needs both male and female connections to feel truly fulfilled. He’s asked me to accept this part of him, insisting it’s not about love but about a biological drive and mental well-being.
Ask A Bi Dad: Is it worth coming out to my prejudiced family?

Jan 29, 2025 | bi.org | Lewis Oakley

Hi Lewis, I'll keep this one short and sweet. I've been wondering if it's worth coming out to my family. I see how they react whenever they see anything LGBT-related on TV, and it makes me question whether it’s even worth the effort. If I decide to stay quiet, though, am I being true to myself, or is that just another way of lying to who I am? Kiera Hi Kiera, Thanks so much for reaching out.
Ask A Bi Dad: How can I make myself more visible in LGBT spaces?

Jan 9, 2025 | bi.org | Lewis Oakley

Hi Lewis, As a bi guy, I often feel invisible even within the LGBT community. What can I do to find my place? Hi James, Thanks for reaching out and I completely understand how tough this can be. Sadly, feeling invisible or excluded is a common experience for bi people, even in spaces that are meant to be inclusive. But there are some ways I’d recommend to begin to carve out your place: Wear it! Visibility starts with being seen.
Ask a Bi Dad: Will I regret not acting on my bisexuality?

Dec 9, 2024 | bi.org | Lewis Oakley

Hello! I'm a 26-year-old medical student in the USA and I’m looking for support from bi men because we are surprisingly hard to find. I realized I was bi over the past few years and shared this with my loving partner last year. She fully supports me but has made it clear she doesn’t want an open relationship where I could explore connections with men. I deeply respect her for setting that boundary, and we’ve continued our relationship.
Ask A Bi Dad: Is it safe to tell my kids I’m bi, or should I keep it private?

Nov 7, 2024 | bi.org | Lewis Oakley

Hey Lewis, I really need some advice. I’m from the Irish traveler community, and I’d say I’m somewhere on the spectrum but mostly attracted to guys. I’m also married now and have two kids. My issue is whether to come out to my kids or not. Where I’m from, coming out publicly would probably lead to our family being ostracized. I’ve been struggling a lot lately. Part of me wants everything out in the open and to tell my kids, but another part worries they’d have to keep my sexuality a secret.
