When I came out it was because I had to. My best friend took my phone and went to my Instagram that no one knew I had. He started asking questions about what I posted so I told him and all my friends that we were hanging out with that I am a lesbian. They all reacted really well, even the guy that likes me, and we are all still best friends. I have yet to come out to my family because I’m afraid they will not be as accepting as my friends.

Later I came out to some more friends and to my parents. Simply everybody is supportive and tolerant. I’m so fortune that I have so accepting loving people in my life.
