Coming out of the closet!

So, Here's my next topic "COMING OUT". Despite burgeoning Indian LGBT communities and
movements (in urban areas), homosexuality and
homosexual intercourse remain illegal in India
(under the controversial section 377 of the Indian
Penal Code). Being gay in India still entails being a
target for mental, verbal, physical and sexual
violence, and coming out still means risking
alienation from one's conservative family and
friends. As a result, anonymous online spaces are
the only forum some have to "come out." “In the past, if somebody realized that they were gay and they wanted to connect with other gay people about those experiences, then there weren’t a lot of places to do that. Nowadays, if somebody has a question about their sexuality and wants to talk to other gay people, they can do that from home. They can be anonymous, they don’t have to say what their real name is, they don’t have to put their picture online, they don’t have to tell people where they live, and they can have that conversation and work through a lot of the questions they have.”
That’s especially important for LGBT people in small towns or conservative parts of the country, where they may not know any other openly gay person. Interacting online with other LGBT people demonstrates that it’s not abnormal or exceedingly rare to be gay or bisexual or transgender.

ESPECIALLY TEENS  OR YOUNG ADULTS!
AS a young growing up  bisexual, I too, faced several difficulties including discrimination and social ostracism.
Many LGBT teens end up disconnected from their homes, schools and communities! According to a Research, 30% of LGBT youth reported suffering physical violence at the hands of a family member after coming out. As a result of lack of acceptance or abuse at the home, most of the LGBT teens are afraid to "COME OUT" and they start using illegal drugs, they get depressed and try to commit suicide! This could only be stopped, when our parents are gonna support us..

WHAT MAKES ME REALLY SAD..
What really makes me sad is that,  MOST of the parents don't support their LGBT children... According to a Research, 30% of LGBT youth reported suffering physical violence at the hands of a family member after "COMING OUT". : (

WHAT PARENTS NEED TO UNDERSTAND...!
Firstly, a parent must need to accept the fact that, if your child is a lesbian, Gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT) then there's nothing wrong with it... Homosexuality is not something an individual chooses, it's something an individual is born with.. How it is wrong?
A parent must ask his/her child first before telling anyone else about their LGBT status. If you, as a parent, need to talk about this issue for your own mental health.. But, don’t betray your child’s trust – it is most important to be respectful of what your child wants!
All youth – whether LGBT or not – deserve to feel safe and accepted..

P. S -- We all are different in each and every way and that is what makes us beautiful and special... ;)
