    Questioning
    Hello everyone, I came across this forum when I searched support groups for people who are uncertain about their sexuality. To be quite honest I am not sure whether I identify myself as a lesbian or not because I was brought up in a traditional Christian home, I don't know if it's right (being homosexual). Yet, I feel safer when I consider myself being with another female, whereas, with men I feel threatened and uncomfortable. I remember when I was going through puberty, I became emotionally attached to this girl but was chastised for it; for years I tried getting into heterosexual relationships. Now that I'm in my 20's I look back to those days and I wonder how to get back to such feelings comfort with another woman. I've been watching this show called "The L Word" on Netflix and even though it's a fictional show, I wonder what it is really like to be with a woman----yet I don't know where to start.

    Welcome! I was also brought up in a traditional Christian home, and all I can say is that homosexuality is not something you learn but are born with.
