I KNOW I’M GAY, BUT BEG OUT DON’T MEAN I ACCEPT MYSELF

I’ve been livg Los Angel and workg Wt Hollywood, LA’s gay neighborhood, for 10 years. Sadly, most of the people I know who have died while livg LA have eher worked at a gay bar Wt Hollywood or have been a part of the muny.

And while the are unequivolly trmas, people also experience trma as daily microaggrsns, such as homophobia, transphobia, bullyg and time spent the closet. For years, certa religns have failed to accept gay, lbian, bisexual and transgenr people. While g out and talkg about beg gay to others is a slow procs, generally starts wh a close iend or fay member.

Rejectn by this person may e a backlash to the self-regnn stage of g out (the g out stage where you regnize you are gay); however, acceptance by this person generally leads to an crease self-teem and nfince. As this stage of g out ntu, the dividual gas a general sense of what means to be gay and choos to eher accept or reject different stereotyp and perceptns regardg gays.

HOW TO ACCEPT THAT YOU ARE GAY

Socializatn wh other gays is important when acceptg your sexualy that giv a sense of cln to a new world, erasg feelgs of lonels.
