I like being involved at AlterHeros because it helps keep me in touch with the Queer community. I also love to help others and I am interested in psychology and coming out issues.
Hi Diego,

Hi Michele,
Thanks for writing to us with your question!
This is a very interesting question, indeed. As much as we say we hate labels, we always seem to want or need to label things, including gender, sexual preferences, crowd 'clicks', etc.
The fact is, with all the nicknames out there, I have ... Read more.

Hello and thanks for your question!
For starters, go ahead and tell your dad again, if you feel you need to do it a second time. It doesn't sound like he had an awful reaction, so perhaps he would handle it alright if you reminded him adn told him that it ... Read more.
Hello Daniel,
It sounds as though you really enjoy doing 'girl' things, such as having your nails painted by your female friends. You are young, and at an age where exploration and experimentation is very common.
