I’m an adolescent girl attracted to girls. I was happy about Section 377, but not many are okay with it and now the whole school just gives me weird looks. I’m feeling hopeless, not knowing whom to talk to about this because my friends are too immature to understand it. Please help.
Every individual has their own sexual orientation and it is natural. Although the LGBT community faces societal pressures, there is definitely more openness today in accepting them. Remember you are not alone and that there are many who experience such feelings during adolescence. What is essential is the “coming out”. You need a lot of support to manage your emotions. It needs a lot of courage to “come out”, and in order to do that, identify a person you trust to talk freely to. Seek their help, and approach a psychologist or counsellor in your city to guide you. Alternatively you could also approach an organization that supports the cause of the LGBT community. Stay strong and seek help at the earliest to manage your feelings.
