Story
The first person I told about my sexuality was my best friend. She lives more than 5 hours away from me, so I rarely see her. I didn’t want to make her uncomfortable, and I didn’t know how she felt about LGBT+.
When I told her she was actually very supportive. She helped me realize not to ever feel bad about telling people I trust about who I am, and that it’s okay to not want to be out to everyone just yet. I’m not ready to come out to my family; but that experience helped me be true to who I am at school.
