I think it would be a good idea to show this to more people so that they can make up their mind

im 14 and i live in yorkshire. im not sure wether i should tell anybody that i am a lesbian yet? i have feelings for girls more than i do boys. i just dont know yet wether i am a lesbian, until i have had a sexual experience with a girl? what should i do? im scared that all my friends will bully me and call me nasty names

Before I came out I was petrified that my friends might turn their back on me, because they had made homophobic jokes and comments in the past, and I thought my parents would disown me because I come from a Jewish orthadox family.

In reality none of the above was true. My friends were totally supportive and even made the effort to take me to a gay bar - even though it wasn't their thing, so I could get comfortable with going and making other friends. My parents were upset at first, but made the effort to go and get educated and went to a support groups for parents of gay Jewish kids....

I'm not sure what more I could ask of people, but I know that I owe a lot to them for putting themselves out to make me feel ok about who I am.

I think that if you are in fact gay that u should tell someone when your ready because if they truely love you then they will except you. I am not gay but a have a lot of really close friends who are I know that I would NEVER trade their friendship for anyone else's.

i myself am a lesbian, im only 17 and have been a lesbian for four years. this is great to hear that young people and old are finally accepting who they really are. it took me 3 years to finally realise that who i was is not to be ashamed of and my girlfriend and i have been going out for 3 months and are very happy together.

I myself am not gay but i have plenty of good friends who are. I have only been to 2 gay clubs in my time. 1 female and one mixed (not sure if i can say the names so i wont) Anyway, my first time in the lesbian club was a bit uncomfortable for me at first, guess i was just warming to the fact that 2 of my closest mates were in fact lovers for 5 years.

It got a bit heated in there, hormones were sky high lol... After a few hours i was ok, i stopped looking around and just enjoyed the night. My first time in the mixed club was fantastic, the vibe was so cheerful and everyone was happy. Reminded me of how uk clubs used to be before arms become the new fashion trend. I reach there at least once a month now.

It was good to hear the experiences of young gay people especially those who are Black. This is such an important documentary and full of good advice. Big Up 1Xtra for doing this and for the whole sexuality season. Information not gossip. Peace

if you think you are gay might b a good idea to confide in a friend. if your friends are really your friends and love you 4 who you are it shouldn't really b earth shattering. family could b a little more difficult because of all emotional stuff and family expectations etc. i think the most important thing in this is how u feel about yourself as somebody who is... then you can make decisions about how u want to deal with it, the extent to which u want your sexuality to play in your life.

come out or not come out... trust there are enough people out there that are that people would never guess. gay doesn't discriminate - black white asian b boy b girl, footballer, actor, bus driver, rapper, DJ, lawyer, father, mother... believe they all out there!!!
