LGBTQ+ Q and A Thread

I think for me it's remembering that the views that you have been around are just one view and not the way that everyone thinks. A lot of religious people are not homophobic or transphobic and are even part of the community. Often people seem to choose to use their Religion as an excuse as to why they hold these homophobic and transphobic views. But remember they are just one part of society, the majority of people do not feel the same way

Hey, I have been out since October but today I feel like I'm faking it. This normal?

I recently came out as bi so now I’m here (:

Great news! I'm so happy you felt comfortable enough to come out do you have any questions or need any advice?

Haha I came out to everyone except my family I live with because they are strict Christian homophobic people ): and not really I’ve been fine (: ty

Well that's great news apart from the family - do you think they'd come around if you told them or is it completely out of the question for now?

I'm glad you're feeling good.

It’s completely out of the question because i think I’d get beat for it so it’s better not to (:

No cuz this thread is so cute i love it!! <3

god you must love gay people if you think they're powerful enough to destroy the world. imagine thinking that much of anyone

If you have been beaten or feel that you're in danger of being, please do speak to a trusted adult/ChildLine or, in a dangerous situation, please call the police. No parent has the right to beat their own child, it's completely illegal and never justified (this includes threats of it)

Quite long, but bear with me; a friend of mine is worried about coming out, not because of fear of not being accepted (their family is fairly progressive) but because they aren't really traditional for their gender and so there is already a lot of speculation about their orientation (which I shouldn't need to mention they don't appreciate), so they are concerned that they would be met with a lot of 'haha I knew it!!/my 'gaydar' was right again!!!' kind of responses. I come to this thread asking, is there anything I can tell them to assuage their fears? Moreover, has anyone who is 'out' experienced this kind of thing? I would really like to support them however I can and I feel that making them feel less worried would be appreciated by them.

I've been thinking for over a year that i might be asexual . I know that to be asexual it means that you aren't attracted to people sexually but you can still be in relationships .

I am just wondering what i am because i would call someone pretty or think that they are particularly attractive but i would never date them or have sex with them .

I also think that in theory , dating is great but in practise i think it's takes a lot of energy , this leads to me not wanting to date but sometimes i have urges to date someone just for fun and not seriously for a long time .

My friends just think that i'm not ready or they just don't believe me but i really don't know any other sexualities that match me as much as this one does .

aaaaaaaaa what a mess
