Gay crush

Spend time around your crush and find out how they feel about LGBTQ people. Share your feelings if you feel comfortable, and understand that you're valid and loved even if they turn you down. Don't panic. Many people get a crush on someone of the same gender and freak out. The first thing you should do is take a deep breath.

My first real-life gay crush was a guy I'd been friends with for a few years who I suddenly thought was cute. It didn't last long, but for the few months I was into him, there were a LOT of complicated emotions going around my head.
