Two years ago, I came out as lesbian and my mom’s side of the family called me a disgrace and said that they didn’t support it whatsoever. My dad’s side were all for it because it made me happy and I couldn’t get pregnant. They have all come around to being okay with it, but they all agree that they don’t want me dating black girls. I just got dumped from a 14 month relationship with who I thought was the love of my life. It was so out of nowhere and she said that she was leaving me for some guy in the marching band, for the third time. I was so heartbroken that I wasn’t looking for anyone. Well, my best friends told me that I should stop looking because when I’m looking, I won’t find anyone. So I stopped looking, but then someone completely unexpected told me that they had had feelings for me before. This unexpected person was my all-time best friend. I told her that I had had feelings for her before too, but they went away because I got into a relationship with someone who I truly loved and cherished. Now that my ex and I are not together, I have been talking to my best friend about my problems as usual and it just seems to make me like her more. The bad thing is that she is light-skin, and my family is very weird about me being lesbian already and don’t want me dating a black person on top of being lesbian. I don’t know what to do because I’m confused if the feelings for this friend is just me trying to get over my ex, but I feel like I did with my ex, but with her. And I don’t know what to do about my family because that’s against their rules. I just figured that if they saw me happy with her, that they would somehow come around, likes they did with me being lesbian, but how can I be sure? Help?¿ 😭😪
