Coming out as a Lesbian
Lesbian Definition: A Homosexual Woman
Coming out as a Lesbian is often faced with a sea of doubt “You just haven’t met the right guy yet!” But little do they know, it’s not a guy that you need or want. Aside from the common pre-conceptions, we forget that lesbians can look and act however they please, after all everyone is unique.
