I feel like ranting here about some of my feelings, im an 18 year old lesbian tired of homophobia . Im tired of having to explain myself and educate people on why i didnt choose to be a leabian, im tired of it all, my whole life ive lived with people telling me how being gay is bad and a “sin”, when i found out i was gay i cryed because i didnt want to be gay, actually, i didnt want to be bullied and disowned for being gay. why is it that us gay people have to go through this just because of our sexuality? We get beaten and killed just for being who we are, friends who we thought we could trust betray or leave us. im so tired so having to deal with homophobic bullshit, i just want to be able to love without being called a sin or get hate crimed. I want to live in a world where gay people aren’t being sexualized or used as the “gay best friend”. Am i asking for to much when i say i just want to be accepted and treated equally . You see all these successful gay people online and forget about the fact that most of the world hates gay people. We aren’t your gay bestie, we are human and want to be treated as one.
It’s okay to love who you love.
We don’t get to choose, it’s our heart❤

Hey, I identify as being a lesbian as well. My partner and I are 6 years old, together.
I knew very early in life about my identity and I have faced the same challenges as you and everyone else in the community does… my partner who is 9 years older to me faced the same issues when she was growing up…
However, we have made peace with the fact that India is still in the 1920s and it will be a long time until it will be accepting of people’s choices… so we figured, its best to keep quiet about our orientation until someone asks upfront… if we are gay and partners…
We often lie to people who we are not comfortable sharing with… the ones who are unimportant to us… the ones who will pretend to be an ally… but will discuss with other gossip mongers and make it a big deal…
Ofcourse, our hearts ache everytime we lie but it keeps our lives peaceful… which is very important for our relationship and busy work lives…
Even if you are told by social media… all about lesbian visibility etc… in real life its often not possible…
That was our journey so far…
I hope you can find a centre path too to deal with the bullies…
You know girl . I’m there too. I’m also a gay girl. And the world " Lesbian" has been introduced to me as a joke and insult so many times that now i prefer calling myself gay.
I know it’s difficult I’m still a closeted person so the I haven’t experienced the hate nor did my partner. But it is like this.
No matter how hard we try. They try to impose there thoughts on us because of things they don’t understand.
It’s hard budd. It’s really really hard. I hear my parents say about my marriage with a guy, my brother making fun of lesbians or any member from the community . It makes me sad. But it’s okay. Our community is with us. Our friends who are truly our friends are with us
I’m with you and you are with me. We aren’t wrong. Let them say whatever they have to say. And say fuck off to everyone.
Maybe things will change eventually. Untill then stand strong mann.
Lots of love and power to youu
