This article is based on my experience as a part of LGBT+ community. There's some people who clearly don't understand the meaning of being homosexual but I can't blame those people, maybe they didn't know about it or nobody open up that kind of conversation.
How did I turned out to be a gay?
I was just a kid that time I don't know about those gay terms. When I was on my preschool (I was only 5 that time) I saw a very adorable girl and just looking at her made me feel happy, I didn't tell anyone about it because I don't think it's necessary didn't know that there's some people against it.. because for me it just felt pretty normal. No one taught/tell me to be gay. Years passed but I don't exactly know what's my real identity because I still don't know about those stuff...but since preschool to grade 6 I only liked girls I never got attracted to boys I don't know why...and also I'm not very comfortable on what I wear even wearing skirt as uniform in our school, I was irritated everyday but I can't complain about it. On my highschool days that's were I started to make my own decisions I started using binder for my breast because I'm not very comfortable being seen with a big tits. I also cut my hair short and I stopped wearing skirt. The teacher always keep telling me that it's against the rules but that doesn't stop me from wearing pants, I did wear a skirt but underneath it I'm also wearing my pants (chuckels) It's just that wearing skirt and my hair is so short I looked really weird and it feels like I'm an idiot.
It's not my choice to be a lesbian.
I don't understand why there are people who can't accept that fact until now. There's also a study that says it comes from gene's I don't know if that's true. But people can't force me to liked someone that I don't. Even though I'm a lesbian it doesn't mean that I like every girl it doesn't work like that. It's also the same thing a when a girl likes a boy but she has a standard and it depends on what she feels, right?
What's more important is the goodness within you, keep being kind despite other people has a lot to say about your gender. There's nothing wrong on that, what's wrong is when you look down others because of your own perspective. Cheers for your bravery! π»
