i'm a queer woman. i don't really put a label on my sexuality anymore (queer is considered an "umbrella term" for anyone who may not know) because even though i'm an adult, i'm still not 100% sure. all i know is that i'm certainly not straight. i struggled with it for a while, mostly because of social stigma. this was back in middle and high school, though. i never felt like any god hated me, and i've always been educated enough to know that there's nothing wrong with it. even so, it still took me until i was 15 to fully embrace my identity (mostly out of fear of ever having to come out).
though i still haven't come out to my family, i came out to most of my friends at the end of high school. i'm also out to my college friends, as most of them are also part of the lgbt+ community. at this point, though... i'm tired of having to come out. i'll probably just bring a girl home someday and say "surprise!", lol.
to the guy posting here who seems a little upset, you definitely suffer from internalized homophobia. i've met plenty of people who hated on the lgbt+ community solely because they were gay/a lesbian/bisexual/etc. and didn't want to accept it. we've finally reached an era where queer people are being treated humanely. most people don't care if you're gay or straight because it's no longer considered taboo. just be real with yourself, dude. being gay, bisexual, etc. doesn't make you any less of a man. not all gay men have effeminate voices or wear tight clothing. those are just stereotypes.
