BLACK LESBIAN SUPPORT GROUP

"I AM WHAT I AM"

"THE MOST SURPRISING THING FOR ME WHEN I DECIDED I MUST BE A LESBIAN IS HOW QUICKLY MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS ASSURED ME I WASN'T."

"I AM WHAT I AM"

AT SOME TIME IN LIFE, WHETHER DURING THE COMING OUT PROCESS OR LATER, MOST LESBIANS AND BISEXUAL WOMEN QUESTION WHETHER THEIR FEELINGS ARE REAL.  AS OPPOSED TO HETEROSEXUAL WOMEN WHO RARELY QUESTION OR EVEN THINK ABOUT THEIR SEXUAL IDENTIFICATION, LESBIANS AND BISEXUAL WOMEN ARE CONSTANTLY ENCOURAGED BY THE CULTURE, FRIENDS, FAMILY AND EVEN OUR OWN CHILDREN TO ASK OURSELVES IF WE'RE REALLY ARE A LESBIAN, A BISEXUAL WOMAN OR ARE WE GOING THROUGH A PHASE.
