LGBTQA - Discussion and support.

whoops, i'm a lesbian. i've met a lot of cute girls and i'd love to get to know them more but i'm so shy... also i'm nervous about relationships because most of my past relationships ended in abuse so its a touchy subject.
i haven't told my family at all since every one of them is homophobic, honestly. my parents aren't so bad but my grandparents and aunt? don't even get me started. telling my parents wouldn't be so bad but i know word would get around and my distant family would probably end up disowning me or something crazy. i don't really feel comfortable telling them anyway.

They just said that it'd be a law instated in the next election, no matter what party gets in! Though Labour is more for it, Tony Abbott wanted to put it to a people vote, and statistics show that over 70% of Australians are pro same sex marriage, which means no matter what it'll happen! Though the next election won't be for ages seemly..

I thought it was in September it was that sth else

Good tears? Bad tears??? Hope you're both okay

I'm 25, but I've been out for ages, and my family has always been wonderful - most recently being emotional pillars as I've been going through a really sad breakup.

How did your mother's react?

I haven't told mine that I'm bisexual, since she's rather homophobic ._.
I don't think she needs to know though.

i've been meaning to come out to my mom as trans for over a year but i keep putting it off aaa!!! i'm really going to try to come out soon because i need it for my mental health smh i just can't deal with being called a she and my birthname by everyone irl.

also i found out that there's at least one other trans person at my school, which is cool. they're a year younger than me and i've never really spoken to them but it's still cool.
Sadly most people in my year are super transphobic, last year I got some nasty rumours spread about me that involved me being transgender. Just thinking about it makes me feel sick of anxiety and anger. And a really disgusting part of it was that literally no teachers stopped them when they said transphobic stuff in class. Once I was in the school cafeteria eating when I heard this girl yelling "HOW CAN SOMEONE BE SO STUPID THAT THEY THINK THEY'RE OF ANOTHER GENDER?" and lots of her friends laughed. The art teacher, that sat with them was like "Well it's just their opinion and you need to respect it " to her. and like. sure the art teacher didn't agree with her transphobia, but that's really not how you're supposed to handle a situation like that imo.
sorry if this psot was a mess ;;

i found this trans guy at my school. it was kinda weird bc hes a year older but we have been going to the same school (elm, middle, now highschool) for years and never knew. im not really out irl

like, im out to my mom and she doesnt give a **** and acts like i never told her so i was like..whatever. i have a couple friends who use they/them pronouns for me, and i have some friends who have no idea what being trans is.

my highschool is more chill about stuff i suppose. sucks to hear you had that happen to you.

for teachers, it can be tricky. they cant show theyre taking sides. i understand how you feel. my friend basically almost got raped by another boy and the teacher couldnt take sides. it was pretty awful for her honestly.

You're brave people. I'm 23, known I wasn't completely straight since age 13, and never told my parents. I'm in a heterosexual relationship and so so happy in it?my boyfriend is amazing, matches me perfectly, and I love him so much?but my family has no clue that I'm pansexual. I swear my mother has known for at least five years that I must be at least bi even though she acts oblivious.

If you ever wanna chat I'm here. Can't say I completely understand, but I went through a seven year period of hell in my teens in relation to gender issues. I'm not going to go into detail publicly but if you'd like to talk PM me / ask for Skype and I'd be glad to talk/listen.

I've been wanting to come out to my parents as gay for the longest time now but I've heard from other places how some parents have reacted, kicking them out or ruining their close relationships, and I just always chicken out. I've been wanting to for 6 years now, ever since I was positive that I was gay but I am very close to my mom and my dad doesn't exactly like gay people. -sighs-

yeah i know they can't take sides but my school is like "no bullying allowed!!!!! if someone ever is rude to anyone then they are The Worst!!! no bullying!!" but when something sctually happens they're just like "?\_(ツ)_/? "

im sorry avout your friend, that's really ****ed up

schools are typically like that. thats why despite the 8393020 programs about bullying they show us, nothing actually happens. i was harassed and stalked by a boy for a while, they didnt do anything. told me to just block him. he kept finding new phones to use to call me and i was getting so fed up i threatened to bring it up to his schools principal.. yeah i had to do it myself

considering the fact i almost got my eyes stapled in class by a 13 yr old girl and the teacher didnt care.. im not shocked tbh

is there a gsa at your school? perhaps talk to someone there. ik theyre just gay not trans but its better than anything else

im fine mostly i just try to sleep or do hobbies to keep my attention away from my dysphoria but its just when i perform at concerts it gets bad. like i wore a tie to one jazz band performance and i got yelled at and it made me really upset to be in a dress for the concert. like i wear dresses in everyday life bc its all i have but i just wanted to wear a tie for once for the concert (girls = dresses dudes = suits) so i got uncomfortable wearing a dress. oh well

Lol, in a hotel in Margate, pride just marched pass xD. So many fabulous rainbows. And a police man was holding a rainbow. Ahh how I do love pride xD. Even though I'm straight, I gotta love it .
