    my name is Morgan. I have finally accepted the fact that i am bisexual after 2 years of questioning. a lot of my best friends are lgbtq+, but all of them think of me as the "straight girl" in our group. it kind of hurts that my friends just assume I'm straight, but at the same time i really don't think im ready for any of them to know. i guess its the fact that once i come out to them, i have to come out to my family too. its hard to think about that because a lot of my closest family members are homophobic. i would really appreciate some advice on coming out, and some new friends maybe?

    Hey Morgan. I feel you in this situation. A few of my teammates were talking about who is what on our team. And they never said me. One of the girls said "I'm just alone." I really want to come out to the few girls on my team that I hangout with during game days. But I am afraid of what they'll say. Maybe we could talk about this more. I'd really like some help too. Maybe we could help each other.

    Hey Morgan! Just wanted to tell you that I questioned and did everything in my power to try and not be gay for 2 years but half of the journey is learning to accept the fact that you’re bi and people can suck it up and deal with it. Trust me, it gets easier once you come out

    Hi anice. I'm sorry If your mom doesnt support you. That must be really hard. I'm also trying to come out to my dad but i don't think he knows I'm bisexual.
