A cisgender woman married to a cisgender, heterosexual man only recently began acknowledging and exploring her bisexuality.

Throughout her 20s, it was easier to ignore this side of myself and lean into my heteronormative identity.

Instead, she chose to be an LGBTQ+ ally — a really enthusiastic ally.

LZ Granderson: Culture taught me that "bisexuality was something you do, rather than something you are" LZ: I let queer artists sing the words I could not bring myself to say aloud.

She says Chappell Roan ’s hit “Good Luck, Babe !” became the wake-up call I didn’t know I needed.

Granderson says it took her years to admit she's a “bisexual bloomer,’m learning to walk again.

Abby Hassler is a writer, creative director and English language teacher based in East Tennessee .

She says she could live the rest of her life without ever kissing a woman and still be queer.

Loving and being with a man does not negate or lessen my bisexuality.

She empathizes with late bloomers who are having discussions about monogamy and openness.
