I Have Been On A Journey To Come Out As The Person I Truly Am

Hi, I've known I'm a lesbian for a long time now, and I want to tell my family. But they're very religious and have expressed many times that they're against homosexuality. I don't plan on telling them anytime soon, but I do want to when I have a serious relationship. How do I do that while keeping the damage to our relationship at a minimum?

Hi this is Matthew, licensed Psychotherapist hanging with Brianna. Religiosity often times can get in the way for greater acceptance when it’s misunderstood and misused. True religion is about love and acceptance. Your parents may or may not come from that perspective because they’re human too but that’s nothing you can control. Just model your own self-love and acceptance by living your truth honestly and hope they they can also follow suit.

I am bisexual and I didn't figure this out until I was about 21, so as I am new to the lgbtq+ community and a part of a very stigmatized group I often feel not accepted in the lgbtq+ community. I also feel really insecure about my sexuality since I didn't figure it out as early as some of my friends who are gay and have known since they were very young. How do I deal with fitting into this community and these feelings?

Hi this is Matthew, licensed Psychotherapist hanging out with Brianna. The B in LGBT often does get overlooked because of our societies need to label everything when love and sexuality it much more diverse than a black and white perspective. Just keep proudly identifying as bisexual (or whatever feels appropriate and accurate to you). It’s what will reenforce that your complex ability to love is a strength!

Brianna, what tips could you give to girls who want to love and meet other girls but are too scared to come out? 💙

When I was in high school I always took to Tumblr to find young people I could relate to and talk to. There are so many girls who like girls on Tumblr who would be great to get to know not only to “find a girlfriend” but to receive friendly and genuine advice from other people who are in similar situations! Good luck!!

brianna, you inspire me so much and i cannot wait for first girl i loved to come out! what were some of the best and worst parts of filming the movie for you?

One of the worst experiences I had filming First Girl were all of the scenes on the softball field that were supposed to be mid day. It was SO HOT OMG! Death. And some of the best moments were just hanging out with the cast. Mateo always cracks me up and Pamela as well!
