So I don't have much experience in this, but I just want anyone who reads this to know, if you're a closeted LGBT member, you should feel no pressure to come out. It's not a trend, it's not a statement. It's something you can only truly do when you're ready. Don't let anyone force you to come out if you're not ready for it. You can only show the world the real you when you accept the real you. When you accept yourself, you're enabled to let the world accept you. I'm bisexual, meaning I like men and women and it's not a trend or a statement; it's just who I am. I'm not confused. I'm not "thirsty". I'm not greedy, and I'm not more likely to cheat on you if you're my partner. I haven't come out to my family, as they're very religious, and it's highly doubtful that they'll stumble across this, but if they do; Hey. What's up? Your daughter/little sister likes girls too. How's that working out for you? Do you accept me? Do you think I'm dirty or unclean? Do you think I'm unworthy to be accepted into Heaven when your judgment day occurs? These questions constantly pop into my mind. How will they react to me when I'm not trying to be their perfect daughter or sister?
I've realized that not everyone will accept you or your decisions, and I've finally made peace with this. All I can be is who I am, and all I am is someone who has different preferences from you. That's all. I'm not weird because I'm different, and I'm not "unclean" because you don't accept who I love.
Love is love. Alright?
Alright.
Thank you and I'll see you next time on Philosophical Paragraphs with Grace ;)

Mad respect for you, Grace.
I'm so proud of you for knowing who you really are, the fact that you've got your life so figured out already is really admirable.
I completely agree with your views; love is love.

<3 So Proud to see you be proud of who you are. I am a closeted Bi person. The only people that know are my close friends and people online. I don't feel pressured to come out to my parents. Some of my friends ask are you sure? Yes, I am. My first person I ever dated was a boy. But now i'm currently dating a girl (@Arlah ). I'm not experimenting, I actually fell in love. So Inspirational <3
 
I think lots of people needed this little boost of confidence- Thank you for sharing this message, forever grateful.
We're proud of you, Grace. Love is love.

GRACE MY BB IM SO PROUD. YOU HAVE A HUGE IMPACT ON MY LIFE IN GENERAL AND THIS HAS INSPIRED ME. ILY.
 
I just read this and it made my day! I am so proud that you can push words and stereotypes aside to show the real you! It takes an extremely brave and courageous person to do what you did. I have a lot of friends that are gay, but that doesn't change the way I see them or act around them one tiny bit. And you are right; love is love! It doesn't matter who you give your love away to, as long as you find someone that makes you happy and reveals the true you!
