I'm fairly new at being a lesbian. I only realized it about two years ago, and at the moment, I'm trying to figure out how to get out of the closet and out of my house.
My friends know I'm gay, and I'm open about it, but everybody assumes I'm straight because I don't have a buzz cut and I do wear women's clothing. I don't really know how to get the whole school to know without making an announcement over the intercom or something. Plus, my uncle is the principal of my school, and I don't want him to find out. I'm keeping my family out of it for now. For a number of reasons, it's better to wait until I'm out of the house and completely on my own financially.
The big problem is that I hardly know any other lesbians. I have nowhere to express my sexuality. (ew that sounded weird) Anyway, my school, like any other, is infested with straight people who are happy in their straight little world where no one is gay. Since I know very few lesbians, I can't even flirt with anyone.
It's not that I want to experiment or have sex just to have sex (what I really want is just to kiss my beautiful straight girl friend whom I've been in love with since the eighth grade, but that's another story...), it's just that I'm lonely and would like to meet people who I could potentially have a relationship with.
I know many girls are les or bi, but they never speak up! I even know a few, but not very well. There is this really sexy lesbian girl at school whom I've met but don't really know... and we both check each other out. She's got the sexiest personality too, and I should get to know her more.
So, to you older, more experienced people, how do I get some lesbian friends? And how should I talk to this sexy girl I just mentioned (who is graduating this year so I hardly have any time anyway)????
