AboutJessica Expertise Hello, I can answer questions on coming out to your friends or family, relationship problems, questioning your sexuality, why a person is gay, signs as to finding out whether someone is homophobic, whether he or she likes you and religious parents. I will try my best to help you out but there is nothing I can't help or support you with. Although this is off topic, I believe that I am able to answer questions outside the circle of gay, lesbian and bisexual. Like school, family, and psychological issues. I am no expert but just a volunteer. If I am on vacation, here is a link to my answers on different problems you are having: http://en.allexperts.com/q/Gay-Lesbian-Bi-3185/2008/7/ANSWERS.htm
Which ever volunteer you are going to pick, please fill in the correct email address or you will never receive an answer. Thank you.
Experience
Experience in the area I'm a bisexual teen myself and have gone through tough situations involving my sexuality. I have been volunteering here for more than a year now and would definitely be of help to you. Homosexuality alone is a topic but it is linked to many different areas too (environment, family, school life, etc). So, I am able to give you a wider scope of the situation.
Education/Credentials I do not have any Education or Credentials in this field. But having the interest and with large amount of time spent on research, reading valid resources, I believe that I am able to answer your question to your need.
Question QUESTION: Every time some one tells me were i see myself in the future i see me with a loving guy but i have this other idea to the side were i have a wife and a baby boy and i cant figure out which one i want. Im with a girl right now but i don't feel like i love her and im always finding boys hot could you help?
ANSWER: Hello Dustin,
Thank you for your question.
Gay is one who is sexually or romantically/emotionally attracted to boys,
Bisexual is one who is sexually or romantically/emotionally attracted to both girls and boys. The attraction doesn't have to be equal. It could be 80% boys and 20% girls.
I wouldn't advice you to rush into determining your sexuality. Give yourself some more time to explore further.
I wish you luck on this and hope that I've helped you. Please feel free to write back anytime.

QUESTION: um its Dustin um when i do find out what i im if it be bi or goy or whatever how would i come out about it? I tryed to one time and it all kinda just exsploded in my face and bean scared to even talk about it with any body after that.
Answer Hello Dustin,
Nice to hear from you again.
Come out only when you are ready to.
You can find out whether people are homophobic by asking them some questions and by observing them too. Do they have or would they want to make friends with people who are gay? Do they watch movies or read books that include gay relationships? Have you ever heard them say that gays are sick people? In general, what's their attitude towards the gay community?
A good example of an indirect question would be asking the person what he/she thinks of Ellen Degeneres being a lesbian. You do know who Ellen DeGeneres is, right?
If you are intending on coming out to your parents, and find out that they are homophobic, you might want to wait until you are older and can support yourself financially and then come out. That is what some people do. Because their parents might kick them out of the house and thus they will have to look for their own shelter. Live on the streets or turn to a friend's or relative's house.
If your parents are religious, I can help you with that. Or have you ever been sexually abused/molested before? Have you ever had any past encounters?
