LGBTQ+ Struggles

Problem #21

I always thought I was straight till I was in about second grade, I then thought how cute guys were and talked about crushes with my friends but I then started looking at girls and judging them on if they were cute or not. In the summer on 2017, I changed my sexuality to bisexual and came out to my closest friends at my summer program I was Bi for awhile but then felt I loved everyone equally even trans people so I heard my friend was pansexual, not knowing what it was, I looked it up it said "Pansexual means you love anyone no matter what like all genders" so I told her I was Pan too because I felt I loved trans people too and when I found out that trans people didn't have many rights I was devastated since my dearest friend was trans, I dont want the world to be so cruel to us. I want them to either except the fact we are here and alive not hate on us and leave us be.

I've met many homophobic people and I told them it wasn't right to hate us but most don't listen so please don't be one of those people if you're not an LGBTQ+ member.
