My story is mostly positive. I am a 29 yr old lesbian. It took me a while to come to terms and accept that. I started thinking about my sexuality when I was about 13. I did experience compulsory heterosexuality for a while. I thought of my sexuality in relation to men. I was on Tumblr a lot. I read a lot about sexuality and gender identity on there. At first, I thought I might be asexual because I was not sexually attracted to men. It really took hearing a lesbian talk about her experience in an episode of the MTV show Girl Code when I was about 15/16 and realizing I relate to what she was saying that I started to consider that I most likely was not straight and possibly attracted to women. However, that was scary to me at the time so I shut it down quick.
In January 2015(I was 19,just graduated high school the year before in May 2014), one of my very good friends came out to me as bisexual at first but that quickly changed to lesbian a couple months later. This made me realize liking woman was a true possibility for me. Later that same year, I started identifying as bisexual because I still was trying to force myself to be interested in men. The only person I told at that time was that one friend I just mentioned. Until the month of May (that same year) that is when I first came out to my mother. My mother had been bugging me about my sexuality for a long time. Not in a mean or negative way. She just asked me a lot about my sexuality and how I identify for years. One May night, my mom and I were watching the show Criminal Minds together. She asked me if I would rather date the character Spencer or Penelope (as they were my two favorites). This is when I came out as bisexual. She was very accepting of this. We just went back to watching our show.
However, In June 2015(a month before I turned 20), I would watch the premiere of Scream the series on MTV. The show featured the character Audrey(protrayed by Bex Taylor Klaus) who was a main character and a lesbian on the show. Bex was my lesbian awakening and made me truly realize and accept that I have zero attraction to men. So I came out again, but at first it was only to my friend who I mentioned before. I was too nervous to tell anyone else yet.
I also would come to realize on reflection that I had always experienced attraction to women. I just was always too young to realize at the time or denied it. I was actually in love with my straight childhood best friend for about 8 years of my life. My first crush was on Natalie Portman as Queen Amidala in Star Wars when I was about 7 years old. I had a questionable friendship with one of my friends in highschool where everyone thought we were dating. I can't blame them for thinking that, we did kind of act like that.
I did officially come out as lesbian to the rest of my friends and immediate family that I was very close too in November 2015. My family and all my friends with the exception of one was very accepting of this. I had two coming out sessions in a car(very love,simon of me lmao). My one friend and her family was pretty weird about my coming out. Her mother had insinuated that lesbians are predatory and didn't really want her with me and my other LGBT friends. Which, not gonna lie, that hurt. My friend also would go on to say a lot of hurtful things about the LGBT community. I am no longer friends with this person.
Over the past few years, I have found myself coming out several times to extended family members. I have several LGBT cousins. Enough that we could all start a band together. Im lucky in that I have a very accepting family.
