    Hi!
    I am a 19 year old girl who likes girls and i am going to come out to my mom this evening!!!
    She will be the first person i come out to, and I am so nervous, because saying these words out loud is something that I have feared (but also longed for) a long time. It also scares me that I don't have a label to put on myself yet, and i'm afraid that she might think that it's only a phase. Luckily, my mom is very accepting of the LGBTQ+ community, and I know that she will accept and love me no matter what.

    Omg, my hands are shaking! I don't know why I'm so nervous, because I know it will turn out well!
    Please wish me luck!

    I will update this thread when I've talked to her! <3

    Good luck! It's great that your mom is accepting of our community! That will probably make things much easier. :slight_smile:

    Let us know how it goes!

    Hi, everybody!
    I finally managed to come out to my mom, and I think it went very well! I told her that I like girls, and she was so accepting and sweet❤ She also understood that I didn't want to label myself, and told me that it didn't make a difference to her at all who I am attacted to.

    Thanks for the support, everybody!❤

    Thank you so much for your support, silverhalo! You have helped me a lot! I don't know if you remember, but in May 2018 I wrote a post about how confused I felt, and you were so kind and supportive all the time. It made a huge difference to me! ❤ Thank you so much!
