How many LGBTQ+ are here?

[Winona [restored]]

I'm pansexual, too. If I love a person, I don't care much about genitales )

Gay here.
I hate it. Ruined my whole life. The genesis of every negative element of my life has its roots in my sexuality and the conflicts it creates with my family, within myself, and my communities.

I am a lesbian but I have only told my best friend. I am too scared to come out to my parents because I feel like they wont accept me

I hear you on that one. I wouldn't say it caused everything for me, but it magnified every problem a thousand times and gave my parents one more reason to see me as "the sick child" out of my siblings.

I'm a lesbian, and I'm out to the people in my life who support LGBTQA+ members.
I'm also nonbinary, but so far I'm only really out on this site.

Maybe? I'm 28 and I don't have a clue what I even am. Embarrassing.

That's not embarrassing at all! Gender and sexuality are not necessarily as static and defined as society has taught us to view them. Perhaps you may be asexual or pansexual - or homosexual and heteroromantic. There are so many possibilities. You don't have to be any one thing and you don't have to label yourself if you don't want to. Live your life in a way that makes you happy and doesn't negatively impact the lives of others.

Absolutely nothing to be embarrassed about, many don't know until later in their life, and some change how they identify as they explore. Sexuality, like gender, can be fluid.
