Hey, I’m 17, and I just recently got out of the closet (for the second time ) to my mom .The first time I ended up lying (I was 14 at the time) and told her I could change and cried to her for forgiveness. She believed me… Now, 3 years later, she randomly starts talking about lgbt and asked me if I was still “confused “..I decided to be brave and just tell her everything and told her the total truth…she cried again, which broke my heart. But this time I really told her “mom I’m bi or bi-curiuos..I love girls that’s for sure, but I’m not so sure about guys, I want to experiment with a guy and find out if I like it or not.” My mom says I need help, and she will bring me to a psychiatrist to help me decide..whether I’m gay or bi. I told her its not necessary but she insisted so I gave in (I mean she won’t change my mind or anything) I think the reason why I’m unsure is because I get asked out alot by guys(of course they assume I’m straight)..anyways alot of my friends already know about my sexual orientation…I’m just not sure if I should come out completely? should I tell acquaintances?should I post pride pictures on fb? or should I just be neutral? P.S.I want to find a partner…I would like to kiss someone for the first time..feel loved..

I totally understand dude. I don’t think that a therapist’s job is to make you un-bi though…..I think lol. I’m bi but not many people know or can tell. Honestly, I don’t think my sexual preference is anyone’s business but mine and the people I want to be with. Although, I also support LGBT communities and efforts on equality. I don’t see my sexuality as an identity so I don’t slap on leather pants, a fish net shirt and my best lip gloss on my way to the grocerie store EVERYDAY (no offense to people that do btw). The important thing is to know who you are and to be stable in your beliefs. Juuuuuuust be sure not to wince if people ask you or not lol.
