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.

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!

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!!

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!

Growing up I watched Ellen with my mom like everyday. She has probably been the most influential LGBT member in media to me. She rocks

When I was a kid I was mad about Jesse McCartney but I also really liked Hilary Duff. I knew early on that I was attracted to people of all kinds. In Jr High I told my father that I liked girls as well and he was confused but accepting. It wasn’t until my sophomore year of High School that I came out to my fellow students as bisexual via Twitter… lol! DRAMA. A few years later I was becoming more confused about labels and how to identify. Now I call myself queer. I could probably love a he or a she or a they. And I’m chillin B-)

This is a great question. I sat my parents down individually when I was younger to let them know that I thought I was bisexual. I personally don’t identify as bisexual anymore but I had a feeling that they would take it harshly. It worked out more smoothly than I expected.
But if I were you, I would gauge their thought an opinions about the LGBT community before coming out. If you feel they would be more accepting about the situation, maybe you could casually bring up your girlfriend! If you feel though that their response might be less accepting and more dramatic or if you just aren’t sure, I would recommend sitting them down to have the discussion. Better safe

My dear lgbt+ kid,
I kept this message in my drafts for a long time because it’s so kind - and also because it reminds me that I am doing my best to support people.
I tend to feel guilty for not doing more, for just writing silly little letters on tumblr. Your message really provides a different perspective: I took time to make a whole blog just to share love and comfort! Yay, me!
Seriously, thankyou <3
With all my love,
Your Tumblr Dad
