I think the only problem I have is telling my parents. They already accepted that I was Bisexual years ago when I had come out to them but I'm not completely sure how they'll react to me being a Lesbian.

Congrats on another step on the journey to self-realization. <3So I've kept quiet about this for a few months but I've been doing a lot of exploring. The conclusion is that I am actually a Lesbian and not Bisexual at all. I know it may seem weird to some but it's taken me a while to realize I have no attraction to men at all. I don't think I ever was but I had forced myself to feel that way when feelings for men weren't there.
Not sure if this is explained correctly. I'm not good at explaining things so I apologize if it's confusing.
I hope it goes over well with them.I think the only problem I have is telling my parents. They already accepted that I was Bisexual years ago when I had come out to them but I'm not completely sure how they'll react to me being a Lesbian.
Welcome!I think this is a wonderful thread! Since the beginning of time when humans were hunter and gathers or nomads, we have all had a need to belong to something greater than ourselves. That's the purpose of this thread- to belong to a like minded group for fellowship, strength, support and most of all kindness without judgement.
I'm a old fart so forgive my ramblings.. The lgbt community stands tall today on the backs of many that were not as fortunate in times past as we are today. Never forget that! The youth of today has it figured out! They are "trysexuals" without hate for the most part. Just as it should be.
I was a young man in the 80's coming out when the aids scare hit the world. And from the bible belt... I was scared to tell my dad. So of course my mom told him... My dad was a deeply religious man and when we were alone one day he told me that he knew. He said, " That's fine son." My job as your father is to love you- not judge you. I raised you to be a person of honor, someone who will help others, do the right thing, follow your heart be a good person and I will always be proud of you. I was 18 and he was 70... He was beyond his years in wisdom. Heck, my parents liked my partner of 30 years better than they liked me at times!
My only regret in life is this: I went to a private college and it was well known to be homophobic. I chose to keep my private life a secret.... I have never bowed my head in shame but that one time. I lived a lie to make life easier. In hind site, I am full of regret for dishonoring myself, my partner and my life. I will die with that regret. My advice to anyone is never bow down for it was me being ashamed of what I am as a man.
Always remember when others lash out with anger and bitterness towards something they don't understand they must have a heart full of hurt to feel they need to pass that on to others.. Be proud of who and what you are, be kind to others, most of all just love with a open heart. Love yourself, others, animals and our planet.
Time to go let the chickens out.
Pushing 80 and still learning, and not ready to give up the journey just yet.It goes on for the rest of your life. I still am, at 59. It's a wonderful adventure.
