I'm 20 years on and basically a lesbian, I still consider myself bi-sexual but currently I'm seem to be only interested in women, but I have had experiences with men.
I think you should look yourself in the mirror and accept yourself as a lesbian, because when you get right down to it that is what matters most.
As far as others, from personal experience I can tell you that some will accept you, some won't, just the way it is.
Take care
