Story #1883

When I came out to my mom, she told me it was a phase and a way to get attention. She then started talking about how she has good female friends, but she wouldn’t sleep with them, and that I’m just confused. I dropped the subject and she never said anything about it again. I came out to my friends, who were very supportive, and I know I’m queer, but since she is not ready to accept it I’m not planning to come out to my family until I’m 18 and I don’t live with them. But I’m glad I came out, even if some people won’t accept me for who I am. It’s easier dealing with being gay than keeping a secret all the time. (F/14/Lesbian)
