About Cynthia
(Top Expert on this page)

Expertise
I can help answer questions about questioning your sexuality, coming out, dealing with homophobic parents, dating the same sex and being in love with your same sex best friend.

Experience
I'm bisexual and I've come out to my friends and family. My father is a homophobic so I understand the hardships in this area. I also have many bisexual and gay friends so I know what its like.

Education/Credentials
I'm currently attending high school.
