My Rainbow Flag Isn't Just a Hashtag

Why is that so hard to digest? why is it so hard to accept that my emotions and my sexuality aren't just silly trends on social media, or some joke, or some phase that will one day pass. I understand, that I'm not an adult yet, but neither am I a child. I'm sorry to break it to you, but what I feel is very much real, I can't change that. But maybe you should try and remember that I am still the same child that you brought up, with the same habits, with the same likes and dislikes, with the same character and personality that you love. My sexuality will never change that. My sexuality won't change who I am, it won't change my love for you, so why should it change the way you look at me?
