My name is Bella. I’m in high school. I do ballet and cheerleading. I am super feminine, dress in dresses and skirts and have long wavy hair. Ever since I was 5, I’ve known I was a lesbian, and have been crushing on girls since the 6th grade. I want to come out and show people who I am, but I know I’ll get the “it’s a phase” and “I don’t think you are”. I’ve kissed boys and I feel nothing. I kiss girls and I feel everything. I want to come out as gay, and still be the same me that I’ve always been. A girl who looks and acts like I’m straight. I have an accepting family (full of gays), and I am comfortable with who I am. I merely lack the courage to express it.
