 WHAT IS

SEXUALITY ???
Sexuality is diverse, and there are many
different types. It can take time to figure
out the sexuality that fits you best. And
your sexuality can change over time. ​
Some people have a hard time accepting
others who are different to themselves. If
someone gives you a hard time about
your sexuality, it’s good to talk to
someone about it. You don’t need to deal
with it by yourself.

 Thank You!
Happiness occurs when
you forget who you're
expected to be. And
what you're expected to
do. Happiness is an
accident of self-
acceptance. It's the
warm breeze you feel
when you open the door
to who you are.
