I really need a hug, and not just a short 5 second hug, I mean the type of hug that lasts all night until you fall asleep in their arms type of hug.

How to Handle Being Gay or Lesbian
Accepting yourself for who you are is always a challenge no matter your sexual orientation. Accepting yourself as a gay or lesbian can be even a harder challenge. Here is some advise to help yourself accept who you are as a gay or lesbian. (founded on internet)
Try to internalise and understand that you are a valuable and awesome human being regardless of your sexual orientation. Being gay or lesbian is just one part of who you are, just as straight people are not defined solely by their sexuality.”you’re worth it”. You aren’t a mistake or an abnormality or a freak: you are someone with a different set of sexual and romantic preferences. That’s all
Use the word ‘gay’ of yourself. You may have shattered through your internalised homophobia, and you may even have reached the point where you are liberal and accepting of all sorts of differences. But it still takes some courage to use the word “gay” (or “lesbian” or whatever other label fits) to describe yourself. When you start using it in your mind to refer to yourself, you start to come to terms with what it means, and you shatter the myths and lies told about gay people, because you realise that you are a gay person and they don’t apply to you, so maybe they don’t apply to loads of other people too.
Find support. Talk to other gay and lesbian people about coming out and accepting yourself. While the experiences people will have had will vary, most will tell you that accepting themselves and coming out was a generally positive step in their life. If you can’t find people to talk to, consider joining a support group—a campus LGBT group, a Gay-Straight Alliance, or a queer youth group—or talking anonymously to a support helpline or online support forum
Come out. Even though sometimes coming out to family and friends can lead to bad outcomes, it is still worth doing. You may lose a few friends who don’t accept you for who you are—but if they can’t deal with hanging out with the real you, do you really want to be friends with them in the first place? Start by coming out to close friends and once you are comfortable, and once you are happy, then tell family members and others. Coming out gets easier and less scary the more you do it, but it is important to do it. It makes you happier, and it makes it so bigots and homophobes cannot lie about gay people like they used to.
Enjoy life and have fun. Sex and relationships are fun and fulfilling parts of life whether you are gay, straight or bisexual. They are even more fun when you are happy and accepting of yourself. So go out and have fun. Do things that make you happy. Don’t let anyone tear you down or make you feel less than because of your sexuality.
I wish lesbians were as easy to find in real life as they are on tumblr

The Most Ignorant Words I’ve Ever Heard
Today I was walking in the grocery store when a beautiful couple was holding hands while going over their grocery list and talking about what coupons they had with them. This beautiful couple, was that of two men.
As I stood there so happy to see these two men, so in love, a woman roughly 45 came up to me and met my stare but she wasn’t quite so pleased to see this couple.
Her exact words will stick with me forever. I still cannot believe the ignorance and prejudice of this woman.
“It’s awful isn’t it? For people like that to be able to be in a grocery store with us who live our lives the right way. We should have separate stores so we don’t have to cohabilitate with them. Did you know that if they cough or sneeze on something and then you touch it, you can catch it. Catch the gay. It’s worse than ebola they say at my church”.
With that she walked away. I stood there so shocked and couldn’t believe my ears had just heard these words.
The couple was staring in my direction, and clearly had heard some if not all of what she had said. One of the men looked like he was going to cry. It was heartbreaking. I walked up to them and gave the man who looked like he was going to cry the most sincere hug. I told him their love was beautiful and for me as normal as seeing a straight couple.
No one should have to deal with this sort of abuse for simply loving the person they fell in love with because they are the same gender.
Love is love.
Support love. Love of all kinds. In all forms
dear young lesbians,
if you don’t kiss a girl until you’re 17, 19, 23, that’s okay. even if your friends have been kissing boys since they were 12, it’s okay. even if you feel lonely or like there’s something wrong with you because of it, you’re okay and you’re perfectly normal.
if you’ve kissed boys but not a girl and you don’t want those kisses to count as your first kiss, that’s fine and whichever kiss you want to be your first can be. if you feel like you’ll never ever kiss a girl, i promise you will. i know it, it’s written in the stars.
we don’t get it easy, and sometimes it takes a lot longer for us. but i promise to you that it’ll happen sooner than you think. i promise you will kiss a girl, and that when it happens, it’ll be worth the wait.
i love you.

How to Tell Your Friend You Are Gay or Lesbian and Like Them Without Them Freaking Out
Timing. Seriously. Blurting it out right after they’ve had a bad day is not the best thing to do, but neither is putting it off until another day … and another day … and another day … Choose a moment when you all have a little time to spend to talk it out, and approach the issue seriously - don’t just open your mouth and blab.
Privacy. Another important point. Telling a friend in front of a bunch of other people isn’t clever. Find somewhere private, just you two.
Sit down and explain it calmly. Ask him or her to hear you out before any comments are made.
Listen to your friend. After all, this is your friend we’re discussing, so don’t forget to listen. Your friend might have had some suspicions, or might be freaked out. Whatever the reaction is, remember that you have had the chance to say your piece. Now it’s your turn to let your friend respond to what you’ve said. Even if the reaction is bad at first, listen calmly and allow your friend to say what’s on his or her mind without interruption.
And you never know it isn’t always a bad reaction. Maybe she or he have liked you and was just afraid to tell you. And was waiting for you to take the first step.
If she or he doesn’t like you give them some space. It may be a big shock for your friends, so give them space. Allow a day or two to pass, then approach them again, and ask (calmly, as usual) if they’ve had time to think, and whether you can talk some more about it.
Accept the fact that it may take time, or may not end well. Your friends are your age, and if you’ve realized you’re gay at a young age your friends may have some trouble coming to grips with it at first. Some may not get over their initial negative reaction for quite a while. Continue to be nice, friendly and open - don’t be whiny, overly insistent, or creepy - don’t stalk them constantly. If your friends have some trouble accepting you right away, just leave them be. If they don’t come around, at least you know the truth about them
