I'm not here to tell you my so called "coming out of the closet" story, but I will tell you just how hard it can be to live an every day life of a 13 year old girl going to a Catholic school carrying the secret of being homosexual. Yes I have told my sister, mom, and dad that I like girls. They love me and they know that being gay isn't a choice I made in life, its just simply who I am.
On the other hand I sit threw a class called religon that teaches me that prejudice is wrong and to love God, I do love God. God is all loving. Yet all I can think sitting through this class is the catholic church has prejudice against the LGBT community. Who are they to talk about prejudice being wrong.
I have friends that if they knew I was lesbian they would shun me. Also I could be kicked out of my school, just for loving who I love. People should not have to feel bad for being themselves. Will there ever be a world that is fully accepting of everyone?... No there won't be, there will always be someone who will judge you, hate you, and just flat out be rude. But we should all at least be comfortable in our own skin.
Trust me I know what its like to hate ur own reflection. There is a problem in our community, there are children growing up being told to hate themselves, learning how to hate themselves, it needs to stop .
