Are you concerned that your LGBT+ identity will overtake who you are? |
Who you are
It's really odd when you figure out that you are LGBT+ and you may be concerned that you will become someone different, but let me tell you right here that is not true. You have always been LGBT+ and you always will be. Nobody made you LGBT+ and it was not a choice. You are still you. You are a student, a friend, a sibling, and so much more. You are also LGBT+ and that is something that is a part of you, but it is not the only part of you. There is no way to be LGBT+ you just are. If you fit LGBT+ stereotypes that is great and if you don't that is great too! Being yourself and doing what makes you happy is what is really great and you don't have to try to act LGBT+ just be LGBT+ because you are doing a great job at it because you are doing a great job at being yourself.
