(I'm typing this on an iPad mini so look past any mistakes you find haha and it's long I had to cover the basics) Hey everyone, I'm Madison aka Madie. I'm 16, pushing on 17, I'm Almost a senior in high school, and I'm a lesbian. I've known I wasn't strait since 15 years old, but I brushed it off as asexual because I hadn't 'found the right person' and thought my sexuality was the reason? But that was two years ago, and I've grown and learned that I am in fact, a lesbian. My take on all that is I was denying I was gay at that time. I've always been lgbt+ friendly, I guess I didn't know how to feel about myself being gay as I was young and naive at the time. Plus, being afraid to express my sexuality because I'm really shy, and worrying in general about how I'd be treated by my peers/family. My very best friend in the whole world who I've known since 6th grade knows I'm a lesbian, and she's really cool about it i can trust her and she was the first to know about my sexuality, Asexual and lesbian. I know for a fact this isn't a questioning phase like me being ace was, I am, in fact, attracted to females 100% and I'm cool with it. I'm joining this forum so I can learn some more about myself and get some coming out tips before I tell my parents. [in short: hey I'm Madie, I'm a lesbian, and I'm very pleased to meet you!]
Heya! Welcome to EC, Madie! :smilewave Very nice to meet you. One question for you: You said, "she was the first to know about my sexuality, Asexual and lesbian." Are you saying you're asexual and lesbian, or am I misunderstanding, because later you just mention being lesbian. Anyway - See you around! Very nice to have you here.
Whoops I meant I'm not both, I meant I told her first in both cases. sorry I wasn't clear, hope I fixed it
