Story
I came out in February of my junior year in hs. I came out as soon as I realized that I was bi, as I had experienced several years of compulsive heterosexuality and didn’t think about it for a long time. Coming out to my friends and peers was easy, but my family not so much. My parents didn’t disown me, but they still don’t accept it. They just pretend it’s not true. I have a boyfriend now, so it’s easy for them to pretend I’m straight.
