I don’t have any friendsleft at all, and that’s before anyoneknows about Dani and me. I’m sohappy that school is almost over.Once it is, I’ll be free of the pressureto be someone other than who I am.Not sure how I’ll come out to myparents, or if that’s what I shouldeven do. Is there a proper time to tellyour relatives that you’re a lesbian?Easier to let them guess than tostand up on a soapbox, loudlyconfess that, hey, guys just don’t do itfor me.

Onething good about Lutherans—mostof them don’t ostracize gay people.Gay. Lesbian. Words. That did notapply to me until recently. Or didthey? Do you have to admit you’rea lesbian before you are one? Danisays no. I can’t think about her now.Here.
