Lesbian
Q: When did you first suspect you were a lesbian?
A: When I was 11, in the 6th Grade. I started to realize I found girls attractive, and I did imagine myself dating female characters in game & animes I watched-Creepy, I know- and once I turned 12 that year-It was December-I realized I had lost all feeling for men. It took a few months for me to fully understand it, but that was when it actually hit me.
Q: Have you come out yet? If so, who was the first person you told?
A: I have come out. My best friend Yuki was the first person I told, that is outside of family. My mom was the first person in my family I told, but Yuki was the very first person I ever told.
Q: Have you told your father yet? If not, do you plan to?
A: I have told my father. But now a days he's still a bit weird about it. I'm not sure why, but I guess it's because I'm his youngest daughter.
Q: Have you ever faced harassment from anybody?
A: A few times, but normally just people in my school joking about me dating their friends. But mostly, I've just gotten lots of support.
Q: Have you ever been through a time where you wished you weren't Lesbian?
A: Uh, yeah. A few times. Mostly because I sometimes felt like I was a disappointment to my family because I'm a lesbian, and that they were going to get judged for it, so at those times I did wish I wasn't gay. but now, I don't think I'd want to be anything but who I am, cause it's made me stronger as a person & my relationship with my parents better.
Q: What is your opinion on bisexuals?
A: Personally, I have no problem with it. But I do think for some people, it's just for them to experiment or they're trying to decide which gender they like better. But I know for others that's not how it is. Some people are just attracted to both genders & they can't help it. So, yea.
Q: Do you ever have feelings of being different or being left out?
A: Oh all the time. I always feel out of place among my friends because most of them are straight & are in long-term relationships, so I do feel a bit left out & a bit different because they have it a bit easier. But I'm learning not to feel that way, because in the end, it's just 2 people in love, so yea.
Q: Do you know anyone else that is a part of the LGBT community?
A: Yep. A couple of my friends at school are bi, some of my friends here on DA are bi.
Q: Do you have a girlfriend at the moment?
A: I did recently, but we split last month. So at the moment no, I don't have one.
Q: Do you belong to any faith? If so, which one?
A: I do actually. I'm Pagan/Wiccan.
Q: Does being involved in a non-Christian religion help or harm you in terms of extra harassment?
A: Not at all. I do live in a very small town, and it is mostly Christan, but no one seems to ever bother me about it. (I do get those few questions is my religion means I worship the devil or not. But that doesn't happen very much)
Q: Does your particular setting help or harm you in terms of being Lesbian?
A: I'd have to say that it helps me I guess. Because here, I feel a bit more comfortable being out then I probably would in the town I used to live in when I was in 5th grade. Here it's easy, there, it's way too conservative & homophobic.
Q: How do you feel about Lesbian stereotypes?
A: Well, I don't really agree with them. Mostly because most of the stereotypes are wrong.
Q: Do you think you fit into the Lesbian stereotype?
A: I guess for some of them, I do. Like the ones that we wear mostly guy-like clothing. I dress like a tomboy most of the time, but I do like to wear some girly clothing at times.
Q: If you had to put a label on yourself, would you consider yourself a Lipstick Lesbian?
A: Nope.
Q: I'd like to thank you for participating. Is there anything you'd like to say to any LGBT youth that is going through a tough time right now?
A: I'd like to say that it always gets better. Whether it's your parents, your friends, anyone, things will get better in time. No matter what people say or do, you just need to learn to love yourself. That way people will be able to love you for you. No matter what happens, just hold your head high, and hang on to your pride. Share the love you have, and love will find it's way to you.
