As stated yesterday, we will be focusing on Pride Month content for the month of June. Also, in our most recent newsletter, we mentioned breaking up our content into themed weeks. This way, we can cover a wider range of topics for different aspects of LGBTQ+ life. If you missed a newsletter or post or are just joining us, please consider following, sharing, or signing up, as it helps a local business foster the community! Now, let's get into this week's topic: Sexuality.
Sexuality can be a difficult topic to talk about at times, because the act of talking about s*x, intimacy, or attraction can be considered inappropriate or taboo in certain ways. Added to that, some people may not be comfortable talking about s*xual attraction that seems outside of what's expected typically in a community. As a result, it can be more difficult for people in the LGBTQ+ community to be comfortable coming out or living as themselves. Because there is an expectation for people to be heteros*xual, this can cause confusion or questioning for people who might feel attraction to the same s*x or to more than one s*x. Some people know right away what type of person they are attracted to, while others don't know but could be struggling to figure themselves out. No matter what your s*xuality is, you are *welcome and accepted* here at A Safe Haven Health and Wellness.
If you are questioning your s*xual attraction, understand that going through some confusion and uncertainty is normal. We will continue to present information for you throughout the week on this topic so that can help you better understand yourself or a loved one. If you are a questioning person, our advice would be to pay attention to this page in the coming weeks and really allow yourself the space to contemplate what you're learning and feeling. If you are the loved one of someone who is questioning, have patience with them and try to be a support however you can, as there can be a lot of fear, unlearning of pre-established self or previously held beliefs, and, unfortunately, danger for the questioning person.
Please note that s*xual attraction can be different from romantic attraction, and s*xual attraction is completely different from one's gender identity and expression. While basic definitions were given here, there is a lot of minutiae within these different facets of the LGBTQ+ community. ***If you do NOT feel safe coming out to your loved ones, please *stay safe*. Coming out about your s*xuality is a big decision with unfortunate and sometimes unforeseen circumstances if it goes poorly, which will be covered more fully later this week.
HOWEVER, if you are LGBTQ+ or questioning and need a *safe and compassionate* place to talk with someone who has experience with what you are going through, book online at https://www.asafehavenwellness.com/
We can help you navigate this process and help you determine the best course of action to help you stay safe. www.asafehavenwellness.com
