I have grown to love myself more and more. The most important part of the journey is coming out to yourself. I think the most important obligation that one should have is to oneself. Before considering coming out to others, you have to be honest with yourself. Women loving women, both platonically and sexually is the most natural thing in the world to me.
Women are beautiful.
Valerie Mason-John, ed. Experiences of a Queer Latina Woman I was the Latina population in my high school, so I had no idea how my Wellesley Latina sisters would react to me. At home, my friends and family were supportive when I came out to them. There was not much to discuss because my mother and other close people in my life had told me that they had some idea that I was gay. However, I had my fears and stereotyped my own people thinking that I would be an outcast because of our traditional upbringing and strict Catholic views.
