Hi Veronica, thanks so much for your question. First of all, I have to say that I love your confidence! A lot of people your age who are just discovering their sexuality may feel freaked out and terrified at the realization that they might not be straight. You seem genuinely ok ... Read more.
Learning you are Bisexual means loneliness at 16

Learning you are Bisexual means loneliness at 16

I have learned to love being Bisexual even though I’m leaning a more towards the gay side. Reason – I like a girl but she doesn’t like me back. We act like a perfect couple. I told her I’m bi; we’re best of friends. But I can’t find any gay or other bi boys where I live. I’m really lonely at night when I think I don’t have anybody.

Always Proud!

Always Proud!

I think everyone truly knows how they feel deep down inside even before they know what it means. For a lot of years I struggled with those thoughts, tried ignoring them and told myself I was wrong and everyone gets an odd sexuality/gender thought every now and then. But the only problem was it wasn’t just now and then, it was constantly burning in the back of my brain.

Accepting me for who I am

Accepting me for who I am

I never really thought about it as a child. In fact, my parents kept me away from the real world. I didn’t find out a lot of things until I was in grade 4 and some of the older grade girls would tell me about stuff. I never even gave a thought to the gay community until I was in grade 8.

My secret life

My secret life

I first realized that i was lesbian about 3 months ago and it has disturbed my mind ever since. It’s been badgering my weary brain like constant and annoying firecrackers going off simultaneously. There’s no way to escape, it’s an ever hanging shroud over my head that i’m always aware of. So this is the first time that I have ever worried to much about telling people something.

Closet problems

This is a story basically about my worries of coming out. I have lived in Texas for about 10 years now and I am wondering if i will ever be able to muster up the courage to tell anyone. It’s a strange feeling, of not knowing who to turn to or what to do.

Hi Mori, I know that it's not what your hope to read but there is no cure for homosexuality. Homosexuality is not a behavior; it's a preference. And no, I don't know anybody who has been cured and back straight. I'm sorry, I know you can be scared, confused and maybe ... Read more.

Dear Alyssa, Thank you for writing us. You say that you are attracted to boys, but also to girls, and you worry about how to let your parents know about your sexual preferences as they are against gay sex. First of all, let me tell you that nothing obliges you to let them know right away ... Read more.
