Hello all. I signed up to get some comfort by connecting to others like me. It's very tough with severe anxiety and not being fully out to everyone, to find others like myself. I am still not "out to either of my parents because they believe liking the same gender is disgusting and a sin. I tried coming out to my mom 15 years ago but she told me it was just a phase. I'm also still trying to figure out if I'm bisexual or just a lesbian. I find men very attractive but I'm not romantically interested in them. I'm also a virgin, meaning, I've never been had sex with a man and I have no desire. Sorry for the novel. Cheers ♡
Hi there, and welcome to the community! It's great that you have decided to join EC. I am sure it will give you some comfort and chances to connect with others, who have had or are going through similar experiences to yours - both with figuring out sexual orientation and coming out. It is unfortunate that your mom reacted in the way she did, but hopefully with time, and a better understanding of that your sexual orientation does not change who you are, will help your mom, or your parents to come around. Feel free to create threads and ask away and share your experiences. Welcome aboard.
