thekarmander: @glaad First Day of Elementary School to College! I wasn’t out to anyone when I started my Freshman year of High School. I knew I was gay, but I was so scared to tell people. I first talked to my parents about being gay when I was 12, but they brushed it off. I tried again when I was 15 and brought home my first girlfriend, they believed me that time. Even though I was once ashamed and afraid of my sexuality, I now proudly proclaim my gayness to anyone who asks. I identify first as Disabled, then as an Asexual Lesbian. I joined the LGBTQIA+ group here on campus, as well as the Disabled Students Collective. I want to show younger kids that it’s okay to not know who you are yet. You can take as much time as you need! As long as you’re happy some day, it doesn’t matter if you figure it out today or 30 years down the road. -- source link
