Coming Out To...

We live in a world where people are assumed heterosexual until they assert otherwise, and as such "coming out" is often just a practical thing one has to do. 

I personally don't think there is anything wrong with this assumption because let's face it: the majority of the human population leans towards heterosexuality. But in an ideal world, that fact shouldn't hinder the proper treatment of those whose sexualities are in a minority, or lead to erasure and denial of rights. 

With the posts listed on this page, I find out just how much the real and the ideal diverge as I tell people that I am bisexual. I will be writing about all kinds of people - friends and family to colleagues and co-workers. Some folk will be Muslims, religious or not, and others may be atheist or agnostic. Many will be from Bangladesh or have their roots there. Because I'm often waiting for people to write for me, I won't be able to post in chronological order. However, the list below I'm arranging properly, starting with my best friend who I came out to first.
