By KourtneyThis is just going to be a little bit about my personal experience with coming out. For me there is nothing to special about it, except that I'm not outed to my parents yet. I have a valid reason for this, but let me tell you about coming out to your friends. Last year, I had never known anyone who was non-binary. I was convinced I was bisexual. One day, during class when we got to do nothing, I leaned to my friend and asked her what the hardest thing for her to do was. She said it was sports, like one could assume since she was always playing sports. I told her the hardest thing for me to do was to come out to my friends, and that I was bisexual. She was fine with it, but the thing was she didn't know what it was until later that year. We were still friends, but we were very distant. This year is something else, though. Over the summer I dated one girl who changed my life. She made me realize how I really treated people. It was an interesting experience. I couldn't have asked for anyone better. However when this year came around, everything changed.
This year there was a new girl. She is gorgeous. Just like always, my flaming homosexual dreams were crushed when she got a boyfriend. However, I was the one who helped her get that boyfriend. She was my second "real" girl crush. With her, I could be very honest and the extent of my humour is gay jokes. It is very easy to talk about being in the LGBT community with her. Issues: Since I am still pretty young and in school, my mother has a lot of restrictions for me. Before I get into ranting, I am confident in my sexuality and gender identification. I am a non-binary pansexual who goes by he or she. If you are prepared, here goes nothing: When my sister was 12, she had a sexuality crisis, like most kids of that age do. According to her, our mom didn't have a problem with it. Now that I know what sexuality I am, she thinks it is an identity crisis. She hasn't just put in her ten cents, it's more like forty cents. She believes I am "too young" to be worried about my sexuality and gender orientation. I know exactly who I am and who I love. I don't think you're ever too young when thinking about sexuality and gender identity. If you are having a bit of difficulty, one day it will come to you. Please comment about what your parents think about finding your sexuality and gender identification.

We are a group of teens that work towards helping LGBT+ youth and their friends and family to understand their gender and sexuality. We try our best to help youth struggling with their gender and sexuality understand themselves and be comfortable with who they are.
