When I first wrote out an explanation of why I believed God was totally cool with homosexuality. I must have been about 20 or 21.

I was 21 at a Pride parade. Although, I still struggle with confusion all the time. Being bisexual comes with more questions than answers.

Even though I went to a catholic school and lived in a catholic household I was always a supporter of the lgbtq community and always felt I was a part of it. I came out at age 14 but had been pretty certain since age 5

At 13 I was proud to be an ally. At 14, I feel like I might not be JUST an ally

It’s not something we should be ‘proud’ of ourselves over. It should just be expected. And it sucks that it isnt. I’ve always been an ‘ally’.

It hasn’t been until very recently that I’ve felt comfortable enough with myself that I could be truly proud and not be afraid, but now I am.
