So this is my story, I’m a girl who is lesbian and my parents don’t know which is horrible cause my parents think being lesbian/gay is a horrible sin. Don’t be worried, I know what to do when my parents don’t except me, I just need your guys help to tell me how to come out. I’m happy I have friends who will, and that do support me, and so many other people. Yes I’ve actually searched things to help me come out but you guys can also help. I know putting my story here is risky and can give me bad comments so please support and don’t hate. Like my mom says if you don’t have something nice to say/text then don’t say/text it at all so please be nice. But I love being lesbian and seeing other people like me on youtube and tik tok. I give support to any kind of sexuality so whoever you are feeling like your not getting love and feeling insecure of your sexuality don’t, because a lot of people are like you and will give you support like me.

Also, you seem to hold a positive and accepting attitude which should carry you far in life. Using all those skills, try having some discussions about sexuality with members of your trusted support system.
