As you already know by the title, this post is very off-topic and probably a lot of you would never think to see this on book blog. But I thought I'd write it because this subject means a lot to me and lots of my friends, LGBTQIA+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Questioning, Intersex, Asexual +) .
I am not labelled but not straight(well I'm not totally sure, I generally just don't like to label myself. I just know that I am not straight) and I have learnt to be very proud of that.
I am writing this post for the readers who may be insecure about this topic and are afraid to talk about it.
I am going to start with the fact that you should be proud of yourself however you are...whatever feelings you may have to whoever. It's a completely normal thing. We are all Human.
Luckily, I have the most supportive friends who always have my back whatever happens.
This is why I am writing this post, to create an accepting place for you guys to talk.
People may think that this post is rather hypocritical because I haven't exactly come to telling my parents yet but this isn't because I don't want to, it's more because I am not great at talking to people.
Your parents will love you whatever, ok if they don't completely agree with homosexuality then it might take them a bit of time to get used to. But they will come round. They love you, they created you. NOTHING will change that :)
Another point is that you shouldn't care what others think. This is you and if they don't like it then it's not your problem, it's theirs. I personally have told only a few of my friends but as I'm getting more comfortable with the fact, I am being open to more and more people. And trust me, it feels amazing to have people respect you for who you are.
It's not the Medieval times anymore, this is something that a huge chunk of the population face. The scorn of others can be absolutely horrible but you just have to get through and the path will become clear.
I am so extremely happy that I told my friends as I came to find that lots of them felt the same way and it's nice to feel that there's someone to talk to :)
Sorry if this post was kinda sloppy in terms of grammar and stuff but it is midnight right now and I am really tired but can't get to sleep.
Anyway to finish this post off...
JUST BE YOU!
Happy Living!
Maud
