So, my school has a LGBT club
So I just joined a new school and we just got told about the extracurricular stuff and holy shit, they have an LGBT club every Thursday after school for an hour. I'm not even out yet but really think this would be a good way to come out without making a big deal about it y'know?
The anxiety will probably stop me but I really, really wanna go. What kinda things would they do? Does this happen at any other schools? Argh I'm really happy but scared as shit at the same time...

Dude, you should go! Of course you're gonna be scared, but screw that; you can handle a little fear! This is a group where you know for SURE that you're gonna be accepted. Whatever fears you have of coming out or telling people, that group is the one place you never have to worry about those feelings.
Meeting people who understand on a deeper level what you're going through is the most liberating feeling you can have at your age. You get to talk to them about you sexuality, about theirs, how they handle the situation etc etc. But even apart from that... it's just calming and reassuring to be with people that understand, people that don't need words or explanations to understand who you are. Just hanging out with people in the same boat is really nice.
So stop making up excuses or horror scenarios in your head and go for it! You can do this shit! It's just like jumping in a really fucking cold swimming pool; before you jump you reaaaalllly don't wanna, but as soon as you're in it's freaking refreshing.
DO IT! 😄
