READG MY DIARY OM WHEN I WAS A TEEN MA ME REALIZE I ALWAYS KNEW I WAS GAY

The thor shar how readg through her notebook om when she was an early teen showed her what she always spected: she knew she was gay. * the first time i knew i was gay *

I am nfint that, had the Deidre who wrote the words been exposed to healthy reprentatns of queer love om an early age, she would have known that beg gay was OK. It’s not until outsi factors like high school social prsure, relig tolerance and systemic homophobia e to play that the young people are led to believe those feelgs aren’t normal.

I talked to a few of my gay iends about their experienc realizg they were attracted to men, if anyone had explaed homosexualy to them growg up and whether or not at any time they were nvced that beg gay was “wrong.

AM I GAY?

People at church nvced me that was a choice, and actually ma me very homophobic bee I was so eaked out that another gay guys would thk I was gay and somehow out me, even though I was nvced at the time that I was straight. “Everythg I learned about beg gay was om my experienc middle school where everyone ma seem terrible and mocked you for .

The way that I treated myself and others out of fear of what the Bible ‘apparently’ said was disgtg, and I have seen other gay Christians do to me. Beg asked if I was gay was my biggt fear, so I lied about all the time. In gra ne, I allowed myself to like a boy my gra who I was certa was also gay.
