Hi Sofia (@sophiesophsofia ) can I ask about your experience with accepting your sexuality
and have you come out to anyone else and how did it go ( answer only if you're comfortable)
Well, if I was a normal person, I would tell you, that it's my buisneas and I prefer keeping that to myself, but because I'm not, I can shere with about some facts about it.
So, my story with with accepting my sexuality beggan when I was a lil kid, because at the time I was preatty homophobic. I mean, as I was surraunded by cishets and was growing up in really relageus country (Poland) I just found dating with someone with the same gender weird. I was like : "So, some men like kissing other men, but they mostly they kiss woman, like…where logic?!" Now I find it riducules, as I also was really hypocritic. Why ? Becouse with no realasions at the time, I used to have crush on many Disney Princes, but also (mostly) on Disney Princeses, such as Rupansel, Mulan, Elsa, ect.
Yes Disney, YOU ARE THE ONE THAT MAKES SOME OF YOUR FANS QUEER, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO NOW, HUH ?
Anyways, back when the pandemic started, I was forced to be more interested in technology and internet. And at the time, it was loud about many cartoon shows that promote LGBT, so I somehow became interested in it. So, that was the time, I became an ally. But very quecly I started questioning myself "What if I'm one of them ?" And after some time, I realised that I like both girls and boys. However I felt preatty insecure and we could say, that I hated that because I felt like I'm different. (If you want, I can talk about that expierence later on, but anyways) So then, I went back to the shows and characters that were queer and I realised that there are many people with unique sexualities and that there is nothing wrong with that. Additionally, when I was younger, I was a huge fan of Queen and as you know, Freddie's gay, so it also helped me with my self-acceptence.
I think I firstly came out to my classmates. Some of them turned out to be homophobic, but now I piss at that. I don't really remember comming out to my parents, but I believe it was when I came back from school upset, because this day I confess my feeling to the girl I had crush on at the time (I believe she's pan, but nvm). My mom noticed that I'm sad and asked if I'm ok. So I told my mom about it. She was like : "I didn't know you like girls", so I said : "Well, I like both girls and boys", so my dad was like : "so that means you have a perfect spectrum of choice, because you can be with anyone". Also they both have always been saying, that they're chill about LGBT, so I think they don't mind, that I'm bi.
Currently, I work on my two WIP's, where main characters are queer, I'm fan of many shows, that include queer characters (Good Omens, Hazbin Hotel, Helluva Boss, Heartstopper, Nimona, The Owl House etc.) and I'm doing my best to like myself just the way I am.
