Has anyone seen this documentary on being of the LGBT community in the south especially Mississippi? http://www.sho.com/sho/reality-docs/titles/3403140/L-Word-Mississippi-Hate-The-Sin This show breaks my heart.. And also give these people a lot of applause for being able to stand up and speak for equality of LGBT members. These people have much courage in my opinion. I thought i should share it because not many people have spoken about it. Gonna leave the link to see the documentary in a post under this post. If i am not allow to post it then that is why i put it in another post if a mod needs to delete it.

I'm a 17 yr old female helloo I've never dated anyone. 17 and never dated before hahaha in this generation I guess that'd count as hella weird I've been confessed before by boys but I've always said no I don't think I've ever been sexually attracted to a boy. Maybe emotionally, I don't know.. When I see a hot picture of a guy, I'd think "oh he's good looking" but that's it. I've been sexually and emotionally attracted to women. I have no fantasies or what so ever over a hot male celebrity But when It comes to hot female celebrities I do have fantasies Even in my dreams, whenever It is a sexual dream it'd be with a girl. I think a guy appeared like 2-3 times but that's it I've always rejected the idea of me being lesbian. I think that's why I flirt with boys I flirt with them and when they do come to like me and confess to me, its like a switch flips on and I get turned off immediately I know its horrible asjfieua I like to flirt with everyone that's just how I am I don't know why I haven't accepted my sexuality until now Maybe I am afraid of my friends noticing, I have quite a few friends who finds the idea of gays gross My family, atleast my brother probably knows I'm lesbian but my mom and dad will be shocked to find out sigh they probably have an idea though I've been a tomboy when I was little When I'd look at guys, I'd be jealous and wish I was a guy Because when I was little I thought the right thing was guyxgirl couple (I lived in a place where that kind of thoughts were strictly enforced and thought to be normal) If I could be a guy, I wish I could be. But I don't want a sex change Maybe it's the brainwashing of a guyxgirl couple rule ever since I was little that's making me want to be a guy I've grown out my hair and I like to wear cute clothes and dresses. I like being a female I'm still confused but am pretty sure of my sexuality and I've come to finally accept it I'll probably wait until college until I try dating a girl Lesbian relationship in highshool is frightening to me Maybe I could try dating a guy before college to see how it is, but it's unappealing to me bleh

My heart is shattered.... What do I do... I am a horrible person. He loves me and I'm a lesbian. I used to be out of the closet as a lesbian and was for a while. I have struggled with my sexuality since I was 13 and have known I liked girls since I was 13. Then i met him. He was fun, sweet, understanding, kind. But I think I see him more as a best friend. I am such a bad person. He keeps calling me hun on facebook and saying he loves me... and I cry. Idk what to do. How do I tell him I'm a lesbian? Help? Idk what to do?

Waiting for my heart to be ripped out T_T

So I don't even know if this should be posted here, but......I'm totally questioning and kind of freaking out (psst...btw, I'm a girl, 19yrs). I have a tendency to over-analyze everything to death, which makes me confused as to what's real and what's not, in terms of thoughts and feelings, etc. Like how I can't even say for sure that feelings for my friends/ex-boyfriends/etc were even real, or if they were just fabricated in my head. Sometimes I feel like I'm straight and making all of my not-so-straight ideas exaggerated in my head and blowing them out of proportion (things like telling myself I'm "stupid" and that it's within the range of "normal" for straight). Other times, I think I might actually be bisexual or lesbian, which feels just plain confusing and scary. I mean, I've always had what I thought were guy-crushes...I'd always look at their personality traits, qualities, all that, and sort of "decide" that I should have a crush on them...once I got the ball rolling, the whole crush thing would get stronger. But was I just talking myself into the crushes? Also, I've never really even thought to look at girls as potential romantic interests...I've just assumed for so long that I was straight and whatever I felt fell under the category of straight. Now that I've been talking about these things with my pdoc, I'm more open to accepting my feelings and thoughts as real, and now I'll get homosexual thoughts popping in and out of my brain, and I just plain don't know what to make of them! I've always kind of felt slightly out of place...I'm not sure really how to describe it, like I'm somehow I don't exactly "fit" with everyone else. Phew, okay, I put that out there...if anyone cares to comment or ask for more details please do! I'm just looking for some advise on how to deal with this situation. Many thanks!
