    So, I spent most of my teenage years believing myself to be bisexual, having never been with either gender or had my first kiss till I was 19! and my first sexual experience a few months ago shortly after turning 20, where I was quickly able to realize guys were not for me, and I am very much a lesbian. One of the hardest parts of coming to terms with this has been my religious beliefs. I am a devout Christian, and struggled most of my teenage years with being bisexual, but a part of my internalized lingering homophobic beliefs from my upbringing in the South let me think that I liked guys as well as girls and i'd probably end up with a man anyways so it'd be fine. Part of these past 6 months coming to terms with my true sexuality as a lesbian has been for the first time confronting the fact that i'm a lesbian, I love myself, and I love being a Christian. I recently bought a few books recommended to me online about loving yourself as a Christian who just happens t be LGBT (And not one of those weird "forced celibacy" books either!) I still struggle balancing my faith and my sexuality, but it's definitely a work in progress! Right now on the hunt for other like-minded LGBT Christians out there (&&&)
