Help being more open about my sexuality?

So I want to try and be more open about my sexuality. When people ask, I want to be able to tell them the truth without feeling ashamed or embarrassed. I also want to be more open about it this coming school year. People at my high school are overall pretty accepting of the LGBT community (there are obviously some exceptions, but for they most part, they are). I don't really care about the people who aren't though, because I know that there's definitely people who would still be accepting and supportive of me. There are actually a few openly LGBT kids at my school, so I feel like if I'm more open about my sexuality, a could maybe make some new friends or meet someone special.

I think part of the issue is that I need to learn to accept myself more. So, do any of you have any tips on being more open about your sexuality and accepting yourself for who you are?

 

There isn't a GSA. I wish there was, but the school board banned GSAs in the past (I don't know if they still are banned though?) because its a catholic school and it goes against the "teachings of the church". I don't think my school is homophobic though, since there are openly gay kids and no body seems to have a problem with it.

And there's actually a couple of girls that I've spoken to in the past, one of them is a lesbian and the other is bi, and I'm hoping to talk them more and maybe because friends because they're really nice and chill.

I want some advice on how to accept myself though? Anyone?
