Coming out
Is my coach lesbian ?
Hi Lesley,
There is no "signs" to tell if someone if homosexual, bisexual or heterosexual. You only can know it when the person tells you. Wearing short hair, dressing like a men and work as a coach don't mean something; it is a stereotype. Real lesbians are like you, your ... Read more.

How can I tell my mother that I’m bisexual?
Hi Veronica!
I want to thank you for the question. To announce our sexual orientation to our own parents is not necessarily an easy task for everyone. To be a teen and a bisexual person doesn't seem to make things better. However, it depends on the background of the family you ... Read more.

A broken child
Being he father of a son who is gay,
Made me take the time to write this
If you look at your child
Just look at him or her as your child,
And not something that you do not fully understand
You will see that this child is your son or daughter
You will see that nothing has changed in them
What is changed is you the mother or father
Not your child
Remember this they are the same children,
That you loved the day before they told you
