Since Pride Month has started, I think I should say a few words.Things in my life are great, and I'm happy with the direction they're taking.But since it's Pride Month, I think I should get a few things off my chest.Ever since I was a child, I knew I had feelings for girls.I never saw anything wrong with that. I thought people were kind and calm about it, but when I found out homophobia existed, that part of me withdrew.Until I was eleven years old. That's when I realized I was bisexual, after developing a crush on a girl in my class.I didn't wake up one day and think, "Wow, I'm bisexual."Accepting that I felt the same way about girls as I did about boys was a long and painful process.That crush and I dated for a few months, and today we're still good friends.We give each other advice, and she even comforts me when I'm having problems with my boyfriend.I was only twelve when I came out to my family.I told my sister through a message. She was amazing.She supported me from the beginning, and my older sister is an inspiration to me.Things with my parents were a little different.I was crying in front of my parents when I finally said, "I like someone, but that person isn't a boy."That night was the scariest night of my life.We have LGBTQ+ relatives in the family, and I knew they weren't prejudiced, but all I could think was, "Please, accept me."The first 24 hours were difficult. I cried at school the next day, and my friends comforted me. But when I got home, I had a long conversation with my mom.In the end, she was afraid that I would face prejudice or something worse.Nowadays, my parents are incredible. They give me all the support in the world, and I learn from them every day.To those of you who are discovering that you're LGBTQ+, or who are afraid: here's a piece of advice one of my teachers gave me when I was younger: "If you discover one day that you're LGBTQ+, don't be afraid to try. Life is too precious to hide who you are." Happy Pride Month!
