We are Human: Coming Out Colorful

Bisexual and Demisexual

Hello I'm India and I am coming out as Bisexual and Demisexual! In 4th grade I noticed I didn't really like boys that much. Only until 7th grade was when I started liking boys. But then, I also noticed that in 4th grade I would always think, "what would it be like to date a girl?". In January of this year, I had caught very strong feelings for a girl. I tried to tell my mom about it but she would constantly tell me not to go out with her. I realized that me being me is more important than what my mom wants me to be. So I went ahead and dated her. We dated for a veryyy long time and I can say it was the best experience of my life. I could finally be myself. I've came out to all my friends very openly and it was great. At first when my mom found out, she was devastated. She cried for weeks, constantly telling me how scared she is that I'm going to hell. But now she has finally accepted me for who I am. A lesson for all of you in the closet... Don't be scared to be who you are. If someone doesn't accept you, it's not your fault. Soon enough they will realize you can't help who you are, so they have to accept you. It just takes time. Don't be afraid to be who you are! Love who you want. Be who you want. As long as you're being true to yourself.
