My life and experiences of being a part of LG(B)QT+ community

Hello, My name is Khloe but everyone calls me khlo. ^_^ I am 19 and bisexual. This article or story however you want to call it explains my life (P.S IT'S KIND OF CRAZY). To start this story off I must say the things I do I want for no one else nor do I say you should follow.

I first noticed my sexuality when I was 11, yes 11 is young but I liked 2 classmates never would ever be brave or was brave to ever explain myself to anyone or talk about it. I liked a girl and this boy let's call them Jasmine and Josh. I liked them both I always got the butterflies in my tummy around them and I always blushed. I was confused and scared at why I liked a girl and for years I spent my time thinking I was broken, I distanced myself from girls tried being girly and only hung out with boys. I felt so weird and kept this charade going for a 3 years. Whew it was so difficult I was bullied called names and people just thought I tried too hard or was doing things I shall not mention with all of them. After 3 years I came clean to myself I did research and found my answers. I found out about the LGBTQ+ community when I was 14, I was enthused about not being the only one in the world that liked both. I cannot explain how happy I was about not being alone and that what I was feeling was explained and had a name.

For the next few years I spent my time being happy finally feeling accepted and I was completely overjoyed with this "new me ". This new me lasted and still is lasting and I feel free, but I can't really come out to my parents and this bothers me. Yes I got more comfortable with my sexuality, but I am not quite sure how to come out to them. I have to explain them first, They're the type of people that are not quite nice to LGBTQ+ people but still are my parents. They aren't rude or mean in their face, But instead behind their backs with offensive terms and more things I don't like. I stand up for people the best I can but I don't want to out myself. I am kind of confused or wondering if i should just come out and say it and instead of trying to explain the community and protect myself. But I don't know anywho thank you guys for reading!!!! I want to upload more please I like tips :D feel free to leave some constructive criticism or nice comments.
