    Am I bi or am I a lesbian? Here's how I figured it out

    This is how I figured out if I am bi or a lesbian. It took me many years from realizing I'm queer and identifying as bisexual until I realized I am a lesbian. Figured out what letter you are in the LGBTQIA community can tough. Also, labels aren't for everyone. But Being LGBTQ and figuring it out along the way is okay. I hope if you're currently on a coming out journey or figuring out what your identity is that this video can help. Cheers to being in the LGBT community, friend! The best is yet to come.

    I went to Catholic School and Came Out as Gay. Let’s talk about Religious Trauma…

    This is my story about growing up Catholic and being queer. I've done a lot of healing to work through my religious trauma. As a lesbian woman who went to Catholic school my whole life and never missed a Sunday mass, it was incredibly hard to come out and look at myself in the mirror. I never thought I could be gay growing up. But I was and am gay. Faith deconstruction is not for the weak. Unfortunately, many LGBTQ people who grew up in the church have experienced religious trauma. This is my story. To my sapphic and LGBT folks who grew up in the church, you are loved and amazing just as you are! The best is yet to come.

    I'm a lesbian in my 30s and I have NO CLUE if I want kids

    I don't know if I want to be a mom. I'm a lesbian in my 30s and I don't know if I want to have kids. I never had representation of queer families growing up. And I love to see LGBT families now with their queer joy. As a queer women in my 30s, my biological clock is ticking and I feel like I should know if I want to be a parent or not. Or should I? Should I be childfree and accept DINK life (dual income no kids) or become a lesbian mom? I'll be going over questions and thoughts I have currently about being childfree or becoming a queer mom.

    I Realized I was Gay While Dating a Man (my coming out story)

    This is my coming out story and my journey of realizing I'm queer. I started telling myself in Catholic school to not be gay and not be a lesbian. And then slowly as time went on, I started slowly accepting myself. I was living with my boyfriend when I realized I'm gay. It truly took a lot of work on myself to finally accept who I was. For any Sapphic or LGBTQ folks, it's never too late to live your truth. The best is yet to come.
