Did you know people can realize that they're Lesbian, Gay, Bi-Sexual, Transgender, Asexual, Non-Binary or Queer at ANY AGE. Some people can trace their awareness back to their earlier memories – they just knew. Others may need more time to realize that they are LGBTQIA..
Some people may spend years feeling like they don't fit in without really understanding why, or may try to avoid thinking or talking about their gender or sexual orientation out of fear, shame, or confusion. This confusion can cause low self-esteem, depression, addiction, PTSD, Relationship issues, Intimate Partner Violence and Eating disorders.
