I'm so nervous about going to school and starting to be a new person. I wonder what my friends and teacher think after I tell them that I am a transgender man omg omg

ah that's fine, I told 2 friends and even my crush today and they supported me i don't need anyone to talk to rn, i am indeed very happy

Well even if they don’t accept I will I’m pansexual and Genderfluid so you have someone to talk too 😁

Coming Out

Hi, my name is kira and i deal with depression and anxiety. i am a bisexual 13 year old girl. I have known i liked girls since i was 7 when i started to hate all these girly thing and then i used to get so excited when girls would kiss and i would get this tingly feeling through my body but when a guy and a girl would kiss i would think it was weird and then when i was 9 i had a large crush on a girl in my school and a guy in my school. i came out to my family 2 years ago and my mom was very un supportive and wanted to kick me out so i went to live with my dad who is slightly homophobic but he didnt care bc i was his daughter. i get judged for it everyday by people at school and i started to cut myself on my arms and inner thighs a few months back.
i also have been struggling with body insecurities like acne and veryyy thick thighs and i get looks about it and i just feel very ugly and unwanted in every room i walk into.

Self Harm

I came out as a lesbian yesterday what should i do? Should i tell my parents?

**HAPPY PRIDE MONTH 🏳️‍🌈**

Hi Everyone, 
Wishing you all a very happy pride. The reason we celebrate this month is to support self-affirmation, dignity, equality, and increased visibility of the LGBTQQIA+ community. 

***I actually had a question to ask:*** *Lately, I've been seeing a lot of brands convert their logo into a rainbow-coloured version.*
How do you feel about this gesture? And what does pride mean to you? Do you wish brands did something more than just changing their logo?

I'd love to know your opinions and also learn how we, at an individual level & at Now&Me, can be better allies for the LGBT community 💛💚💙💜🧡

LGBTQ

Homophobic people I wish you kids like us 

Phobia

I've never really told anyone this before but I really struggle with the idea of being gay. I've always known that I was gay for the most longest time now, actually I would say since I was a kid but once I turned eighteen I've struggled a lot with myself and my identity and who I am in this world because it's hard having to be a gay person especially in this day and age. Actually it's hard to be anyone in general but when you put the label "gay" in the equation that's when it becomes more complicated

Behind closed doors I'm as gay as I want and by that I mean I do watch gay movies and I do watch gay people and all but in real life I don't really feel that gay if you get what I mean. It's hard to just fully express myself and fully be that expressive gay person. Maybe it's easier for others but not for me. Nothing has really been that easy for me and it feels like I've struggled so much in the past and a lot of those struggles are usually mental struggles and I'm always at war with myself

I know that once I get out of my own head I'll probably have a lot more fun but as for right now I don't really know how to have fun the proper way because I'm usually a depressing mess and I never know what the hell to do in life in general.  I know for a fact that if I accepted myself then maybe I would've been a lot more free and a lot more comfortable in my own skin right now but since that's not really the case, I guess I have to just suffer a whole lot more until the day I finally decide to actually be myself a bit more. 

I hate the saying "be yourself". Whenever someone says that it really irritates the shit out of me. It makes me hella mad and I just get really agitated. As if "being yourself" is the most easiest thing in the world. It's not easy and it takes a lot to be the full authentic you these days. It's not as easy as some people might think especially when your culture hasn't been the most open-minded people ever and so now it feels like you constantly struggle because of that. 

Throughout my childhood all I heard was gay jokes and a lot of these jokes were extremely homophobic and I guess at the time I didn't really think of them as that offensive but at the same time I very much record not even laughing at all because I knew the person who they were mocking was really just me. Obviously it wasn't like they knew I was gay or maybe probably some people thought that but I don't really know or do I care what others think of me to be honest because I'm sure people will have their own opinions inside their heads whether you like it or not so I don't really give a shit about that

But having to live with your own bad opinions about gay people is actually even harder because you are essentially criticising yourself everyday and that's never a good thing. I wouldn't say that I'm openly homophobic nor do I actually hate myself that much but it's just that over the years I've formed my opinions about certain things and also I hate the fact that I associate being gay as being "weak" or as being "not man enough". Mentally it has caused me a lot of pain because of it. Of course I'm aware that that's not the case at all and gay men are actually men but sometimes it's hard for me to unlearn what's I've already learnt in the past.i want to try so badly to be more open and more free about myself but it's really not easy. It's actually extremely hard to tell yourself to be that person for some reason. 

I can't even say the word "gay" out loud. That's how ashamed of it I am. I don't know why It's so shameful because I get that it's just a part of me and that this shouldn't even be a big deal but somehow I always end up making it such a massive deal for some odd reasons. I hate how I do that because it doesn't help me whatsoever. It actually makes it feel worse.

I don't even talk to my family about my homosexuality because it's not a topic I grew up talking about. It's not something that I would just say out loud. 

Maybe in the past I came out to some people and that was great for me at the time Because I felt so free to just be me But then over the years the older I get the more I was just closing myself off and it was harder and harder for me to reveal my own truth. 

It's not even that I dont trust people but it's just that I want to talk to people and talk to people about those personal things but at the same time i have to actually talk to someone who completely gets me and who deeply understand what it's like to be gay in secret.

I hate that I feel like I have to hide myself because at the end of the day it shouldn't be that hard to love and embrace yourself and yet it is which is really frustrating. 

I came out as bi last year but I have had a change in my feelings, now Im lesbian, but I don’t know how to tell my parents.I came out last year with a wallpaper. But it’s just awkward talking with my parents about this stuff. 😔✊🏽 I just don’t know what to do. If I tell my mom she’ll just probably tell her friends when I came out the first time. I told her to keep it a secret too.
