    okay so i decided to come out to her because well....i don't know , i just wanted to ....and well we were writing notes to each other and this is how it went , she was talking about this guy she apparently loved and so i told her i understand because i loved a girl as well
    (my ex scarlett)

    but that i never talk about it with people because i don't think they will understand or believe me and so then after she read that , she slammed the paper down and was laughing but she always does this , she never takes anything seriously so then she was like

    "so your gay?" "how did that happen?" and so i wrote her this

    let me explain -

    last year , sophomore year i had a crush om Katie , i began to question my sexuality and i started to question my sexuality and i started to remember other girls i had crushes on so then i went into denial. i kept saying it was a phase and i was straight but my feelings for girls didn't go away then on may 13th , i met that girl so only a week ago i kind of accepted im not straight.

    As for i am a lesbian....i'm figuring it out but right now i'm leaning towards girls

    and whether or not you think it's a choice or not , it's not....i promise you , it's not


    and she wrote back saying

    well , i cannot stand gayness but i mean , i guess that's you or just people

    then she said "what's happening to the world?" and i asked her what was she talking about and she wrote this

    everyone's turning gay , where are all the straight people?

    finally she went on about "why would she do that?" <----- she was talking about katie here and i told her she didn't do anything , that i developed natural feelings for her


    then when i asked her if she had any questions , she avoided it .....she kept going on and on about the guy she loved and completely ignored me so

    yeah.....i didn't expect anything surprising but i wanted to see where it went i gues...

    i was hesitant on telling her but thought "hell , why not?"

    i was calm about everything , i didn't yell at her.
    i was too happy to care

    That took a lot of guts, great job!! This girl only knows what she's been taught her whole life so don't worry about her opinion on sexuality. Hopefully knowing you and as she grows up she'll come to understand that sexuality is as natural as any other human characteristic and one is no better than another. Stay strong; you're really amazing :thumbsup:
