Dude I'm crying her speech touched my heart and made me so happy and I'm still crying. It was the most beautiful courante outstanding thing to that. Thank you so much for telling these people your story (even though she probably won't see what I'm saying) thank you sooooooooo much

Wow that was rather inspirational.This makes me want to come out to my extended family but at the same time it's like straight people don't announce their sexuality so why should I? Man shit like this is just so confusing

@sophiaprettygirl You tell people when you're ready. Whatever you do, don't set a deadline. I'm bi, 19, in college, and haven't told my parents or family. I'm here for you. :)

@MrBarney524 i said WANT to punch a wall, actually i have pretty good control of my anger. just because i said it made me want too doesn't mean i did. does that not show self restraint? i've never actually physically harmed anyone before so...
