My journey to discovering Wattpad started when a friend of mine told me, I was lesbian and as a true testament of her insanity she decided to kiss me to prove it to me. Was I lesbian? No. But Did I like it? Hell yes! Turns out there's this cool term called bisexual that i didn't know at 14. In all my confusion I decided to turn to my good old pal Google and I stumbled over Wattpad. In a short month I had searched and found as many girlxgirl stories as I could find but don't you wish wattpad simply had a LGBTQ category already? Well so does NileyJay6116
She has started a petition for Wattpad to create a category for all the amazing LGBTQ stories out there. To join her petition and be a part of the change follow the external link and place your signature.
