I also had a crush on a girl in the third grade (as well as on my babysitter when I was 6-8) and for awhile I was very worried that I was lesbian because I didn't know really what that meant. Strangely enough, past a couple of bicurious moments(college, dontchaknow), I ended up mostly straight in adulthood. I guess it's just interesting to me that our stories started out so very similar and yet ended somewhat differently. At any rate, I think you were an adorable kid!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08141312534323337367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4907869562100366569.post-74551718279973733232011-05-10T06:20:43.874-07:002011-05-10T06:20:43.874-07:00poet - So glad I could give some encouragement wit...poet - So glad I could give some encouragement with my story. That's exactly why I shared! <br /><br />For me 17 was about the time that I realized I wasn't going to be able to ignore my feelings for other women anymore too. It was a really tough time to get through and I struggled for 3 or 4 more years before I just gave up fighting against myself. That wasn't very long ago, but even then, there weren't as many people out publicly and not as much talk about being proud. By the time you have children, the world will be a different place. Right now, all of our straight friends with children say how glad they are that their kids will grow up seeing how beautiful and normal our family is. :) Hang in there! - LindsayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4907869562100366569.post-12620225302342752682011-04-07T18:10:40.583-07:002011-04-07T18:10:40.583-07:00The little bit about you being a mom brought me to...The little bit about you being a mom brought me to tears.<br />I'm 17 years old and I'm finally starting to acknowledge the repressed feelings I've had all my life. But I've been having so much difficulty with it because I despretely want children when I'm older. I'm so worried about raising a child who has same-sex parents because of the way society reacts to homosexuality. I live in Canada, so I get the impression I have it better here than in the States, but it still isn't completely accepted. <br />I don't really know why I'm writing this. Maybe just to thank you for that little bit of hope in a really difficult time in my life. So, thanks <3Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08306174806485105051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4907869562100366569.post-15344082189066975732011-03-30T18:38:46.818-07:002011-03-30T18:38:46.818-07:00Beautiful!

It used to hurt me before, then I realized, I am the one allowing hurt to get in me. Now I can care less to insults. Great story honey!

Of all the homophobic names I've been called that ones sorta my favorite because really it's just funny sounding.<br /><br />Lindsay, you're a beautiful person and this queerbait loves you. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
