Hi! So about 6 months ago I started questioning my sexuality. A month ago I started taking subtle hints that I was Lesbian like not having ANY sexual attraction to guys. Sure when I was younger, I had a crush on a guy but that was because I didn’t think that a girl and a girl could be together. But, now I’m worried that maybe this is that so called ‘phase’ even though I’ve felt happier knowing my attraction to gals. So I was wondering I you could give me some advice to maybe come out to my self.

Hi there, here’s an old comic I made that echoes some of the things you’ve said. But real talk: let’s tear down the stigma surrounding “phases”! People need time to figure out things about themselves. It’s okay if you go by one label for awhile before you realize it’s not right for you, like how I used to take comfort in thinking I was Ace or Biromantic before I realized I was actually just a big, simple Lesbian 😆 Sure it was a little confusing, but my self-discovery process wasn’t hurting anybody. 

Some people find comfort in labels and others don’t really care, it’s all up to you. But personally, I was much happier when I finally figured everything out because I was able to focus on building my identity and making connections with other WLW and of course, pursuing a girlfriend… 💕
