Sexual Identity Issues

[Mabutati]

I'm 14 years old and have been realizing that I see myself as being more and more gay. I'm physically attracted to guys and really not so much girls. I don't really know what to do to make sure this is what I am and i don't know how to come out either. I fear coming out to my parents because I think it'll be awkward and my mom isn't exactly accepting of gays. I also fear ridicule from my piers and my siblings and my family... Can someone help me through this?

well dude one thing i can say is when your ready to come out make sure u dont in the most wrongest way because my mother flipped when she found out i was bi instead of straight

[Mabutati]

How'd she find out? And i'm not sure i'd ever really be ready... not sure i know someone who would understand.

Well you said it yourself, you're not sure if your gay. These teen years are confusing. Take your time In figuring out who you are and who you're attracted to. Why come out to anyone if you don't know what you are. Don't be so quick to label yourself. Take the next couple of years to learn about yourself. Best of luck!

[Mabutati]

I'm pretty sure that I am based off certain things that i fantasize about and find attractive... girls don't really turn me on. I've never had a relationship with a guy though but would like to try. I just don't know how to go about all of this.

I agree with Pierce there is no hurry to label yourself and come out since you're really not sure. Take the time to figure things out.

[Mabutati]

But until then what should I do or how long do i wait?

My dad thinks I am straight as a pole. I am not planning to come out ever. I am gay. I know that. No fooling myself anymore. My lil bro caught me once on cam with another boy and I think he knows I am gay.
