When I was in 3rd grade my best friend gave me a throw blanket (the one you put together yourself and tied the edges) The color of it was rainbow. Then it was a cool present and I still have and use it to this day. But now that blanket means more to me than it did then. Then I was a innocent 7 year old. Now that blanket represents my pride. I'm bisexual and proud of it, but I can't flaunt that because of family, religion, and bullies. It's sad that I can't share my feelings with anyone in fear of being rejected by my best friends that I have know my whole life. If you know that you will be accepted by your friends and family, go for it: not everybody can. For me I have to hide behind my fake self and can't show my true self. If you are out: be proud even if your life was turned upside down: be proud. I'm jealous of anyone that had the courage to come out, because I don't. I have to live with a homophobe family, it's sad. Once I'm away from them I can be a lot more proud of myself than I am now. So to ever LGBT there is: BE PROUD!!!!!!! Even if you can't express yourself. I'm proud of myself and I can't express my self.
Thanks for reading my rant!
