Personal Narrative-So I M Gay
So I’m pansexual. I’m not uncomfortable with sharing it, though I know some are uncomfortable hearing it. I told my friends first, like any other teenage girl would. I figured that they had the right to be the first to know. Strangely, I did not think the same of my parents.
I didn’t want to tell my parents. I was afraid. I am still afraid. But my friends convinced me that I needed to tell someone. I figured my mom was the easier choice. She’s always been more laid back about that kind of thing so I only hoped she wouldn’t freak out when I gave her the news.
“Mom, I’m pansexual. I like girls and boys.”

“So I can tell him?” I asked excitedly. “It’s safe to come out?”
Mom sighs and smiles sadly, like she knew I would ask that. “No, sweetie. Not yet anyway.” She goes on to tell me about how just a few years before I was born, my father viewed homosexuality as disgusting and unnatural.
My own father used to think people like me were a

Cornel West's Argument Against Homosexuality
519 Words | 3 PagesCornel West, a philosopher, made his view on heterosexism very clear in an interview with Vitka Eisen and Mary Kenyatta, in 1995.
