It took a lot of courage to write this post. I knew that I was going to tell you guys one day, but after finding out about a hateful member of the American Girl Instagram community, I felt like I wanted to tell you all this.
In the daytime, I'm Sydney. Just a normal doll blogger with a normal life. But there's something about me that no one knows yet (except for my family and close friends.)
I have a secret. But it won't be a secret anymore.
I'm a lesbian. I like girls. Not boys. Just girls.
I didn't know that girls could like girls until I was ten, back when gay marriage was legalized. I supported that, but thought I was straight. In eighth grade, however, I started getting crushes on girls, and I assumed I was bi. But I started accepting my attraction to girls more and, this summer, I realized the truth about myself. I like girls, and couldn't imagine myself with a boy.
To those who don't support me for who I am, to put it kindly, get off my blog. Now. This second.
I know some of you might think this is an inappropriate topic for a doll blog, but this is my blog.
And to the AG Instagrammer who is proudly spewing hatred for the LGBT community, stop it. We are people and AG fans just like you, and just because we don't conform to the heteronormative standards society gives us, that gives you no right to be mean to us and hate us all.
If you are still going to read this blog, thank you. I know I might lose a follower or two from this post, but I'd rather have AGDN be a place where I can be me instead of having to hide part of myself for the views of people who don't accept me.
I meant to comment much earlier.
Wow. You know I support you, right? Because I do. But I don’t support you 100%. I support you 100000000%. Just be you. People shouldn’t totally ditch this blog because of who you really are and who you want to be. It is so brave of you to come out, Sydney, and I am very PROUD of you. Wait- ugh, Bri, no puns.
Be yourself nobody else and reach the sky if you only try!😆
I support you! I know I can be hard to tell things, but I'm glad you did. There is no reason to be ashamed, and the world is changing. And go ladybug! Channeling it was perfect for this situation.
How sad that in the year 2020, there are still prejudiced people out there. I am over 50 years old, and I never understood people hating others just because of the their sexual orientation. Two of three of my children have stated they are bi. As long as you are a good person and are kind to others, it shouldn’t matter what you’re orientation is. Just be yourself Sydney and stay true to yourself. You will eventually find true happiness and love. Good luck to you!
we haven't talked in like 3 years but im happy for you Sydney !!
