    Impossible to tell that I love men and women

    I’m a student here in Bangladesh and I’ve always been taught that homosexuality is bad and it’s a sin. But over the years, I’ve discovered many truths and lies.

    Hi I am 18 and I think I’m bisexual. Yes, I said ‘think’ because I am very, very confused about myself right now. I’ve been in love with a boy and I was heartbroken too. But the first time I realized I was into girls was when I was 15. I saw this really beautiful
