A post shared by Josh Seiter (@josh_seiter_official)A former contestant on ABC show The Bachelorette has opened up about being bisexual.
Josh Seiter appeared in Season 11 of the show, which aired in 2015.Now aged 35, he talked to Instinct, who asked him when he knew he was bisexual.“Unlike some people, my awareness of my bisexuality manifested later in life,” he said. “I think there are a number of reasons for this.
I was homeschooled from preschool until college by parents who were born again Christians. We belonged to a sort of Christian cult of other homeschooled children, where we had to follow pretty draconian rules about what we could and couldn’t do, say, and think.”He says his upbringing played a big part in him not acknowledging his sexuality sooner.A post shared by Josh Seiter (@josh_seiter_official)“I always knew as an early teen I was different sexually, I just don’t think I had the vocabulary to articulate what that difference was.
I don’t think the vocabulary ITSELF even existed. Now, with hindsight, I can see clearly that I’ve been starkly aware of my bisexuality and attraction to men and women since at least college.”Asked why he chose to come out now, he pointed to several reasons.
