Coming out. To label or not to label


I came out late in life (in my late 20s), not because I was afraid of society's repercussions, but because it was late in life that I became physically attracted to someone of the same sex. Prior then, I was only attracted to the opposite sex.

I am a lady who loves another lady. So, what does that make me? A lesbian? Do I have to label this? As the birds and bees even have labels, I have to label this--if only for the purpose of visibility that indeed a lady-loving-another-lady is but normal. Ok, call me a lesbian.

  2. 20s not too late. Diane Garnick came out when she was 40. Twice your age.

  4. That is good for me to hear. I am in my late 20s now and have recently been thinking about coming out wondering if I left it too late.

  5. I am sort of struggling with my bisexuality now - I don't really believe myself either way...

  6. "I feel a greater physical attraction to men, but a greater spiritual/emotional attraction to women," and "I am sexually attracted to both men and women. My more profound romantic feelings have occurred only with men." .
