    More power to you, findingjoy! But I would say that you perhaps you should just be happy to be YOU and not necessarily focus on your sexuality in order to be happy. Just be you. Isn't that enough?:slight_smile:

    I see your point but
    I feel that it is my identity-its not just a sexual feeling - and I feel that I now can feel and express intimacy - so I don't mean I like the flag and everything I just love feeling of acceptance and embracing ...well me! :slight_smile:

    Well, yes and no. Absolutely you HAVE to embrace your sexuality as PART of who you are. And you should absolutely feel great enjoyment and comfort in accepting who you really are. My point, though, isn't intended to dampen your celebration at all. I'm simply trying to provide a little long-term perspective.

    I like your positivity findingjoy, I guess you picked the right username!
    I love being LGBT+ too, it's a great feeling when you get to this level of acceptance after all the struggles. <3

    I honestly have no problem being gay... I just wish the public was more okay with it.

    Honestly, its just a fact about me. Basically everyone said coming out would be nice and wonderful and stuffs. But like i still make a C in calculus, i was hoping coming out would turn that into an A. ;-;

    It's good that you are happy Finding Joy, I know the feeling, like I'm so much more happier than I ever have been like as a Teenager I was a person who was pretty much always down and I didn't really feel happy. But accepting myself and coming out has made me a much happier person.

    This describes me perfectly, but I still feel this way to this day. I'm glad you're out and about. I wish I could say the same. I'm only out to a few people. I am working on it, though, taking it one step at a time. It's a challenge, but with support, encouragement and even the help of a therapist, I am learning how to love myself and be more confident with my identity.

    Thank you for this. I'm in the same place right now. I happen to be home alone today, so I took a minute and looked at myself in the mirror. I said, "I'm gay, and my happiness is not dependent on anyone else." I repeated that three times and it's put me in quite a good mood! :kiss:
