BEFORE I WAS A BULL: I Was A Ballerina (Katelin)

When I was younger, I use to dance... Laugh it up, but I was a ballerina. Anyway, I had crushes on the older girls. I still remember the three of them. Four actually, but I certainly had a crush on all four of them. I didn’t know what it was; I was 5 years old. I thought they were soooooo cool and always wanted to be around them. After that, my first girlfriend was in 4th grade. It’s kinda crazy, but we were little bad kids running around doing things we probably shouldn’t.

I went to Catholic school my whole life, and God Hates Gays is basically what I was taught. No No, I stand corrected. God hates the ACTIONS, not the person. Big deal, so I can be a lesbian but can never look at a woman in that way.... Not gonna happen, pal, sorry! I went through my “Bi phase” in HS because "I noticed beautiful people, male or female." It never hit me that I NEVER thought a boy was beautiful, never had crushes on boys, but I certainly did on girls. College made me be more open with myself and I fully came out to myself first, then everyone else.

Now, I feel like my "obviousness" helps me not have to have that awkward "Hey. I'm gay" talk. If you can't tell, then it’s your loss.

And, no, I haven't questioned my sexuality since I've come out. I don't need to. All my good friends from home say to me that they've never seen me happier since I've been with girls. This is who I am, like it or love it!
