Awww I wish my school was like that
For the most part, people here are clueless yeah, but they try to support. Gay marriage is legal here so most people are supportive. Though not 100% if you know what I mean. They're more like the "i support but i dont agree" with it type I suppose. People here are very transphobic though.

Yeah, I know some people who are kind of "q"phobic but don't really harp on about it which. I guess is nice lol but...

And I've noticed that a lot of people who support gay rights here really aren't down with trans rights. I find it baffling tbh-- and even though the school newspaper has nb pronouns, the GSA is kind of? Idk I went to one meeting and all we focused on was gays (in particular gay males) even though there were trans members in the room. It was pretty disappointing, especially because there were some newspaper staff in there who didn't bring up anything else.
 
(did not realize there was a LGBTQA thread here)
(pleasantly surprised)

Semi-closeted lesbian reporting in
Semi-closeted meaning it's not exactly a secret but .. it's still kinda a secret.
I plan to wait for the 'revealing' whenever I get into a serious relationship which I still have lots of time for.
It's like I'm sitting in the closet but the door is open.

I've had struggles recently with dating because like I tried dating a boy kinda recently (few months ago) and yeah
Didn't work at all
I took into consideration the "You aren't GAY you just haven't FOUND THE RIGHT BOY YET" thing
But
no..
To put it shortly, he kissed me and I wanted to vomit. We haven't spoken since because he didn't want to be just friends.
A+ awkward moment

Oh, I know where you're coming from! I also don't plan on coming out to my parents until I'm in a relationship, which will probably be sometime in college judging by the past couple of years. It kind of sucks lol but it also doesn't really bother me? Idk.

Good luck with everything! C:

Agreed, college will probably be the right time for me as well. Just another year or two.
Especially because dating as someone who does online school/is unbearably antisocial is extremely difficult, but add on homosexual to that, it becomes entirely impossible o:

I'm not in much of a rush anyways though cx

And thank you!
 
My area is overall REALLY accepting of this stuff. I'm pretty proud as alot of people are really open about their sexuality and people are really nice up here!
 
Sorry if I'm coming off as ignorant but could someone please explain to me an asexual person's mind works?? like I heard they can still be attracted to people but ...? :c I don't really understand it and would really like to know.

Depends really. I might be wrong (please correct me) but asexuals can experience romantic attraction, just not sexual attraction. They might still want sex though but they don't find the person sexy if that makes sense
 
When you're asexual you're not interested in sex. With either gender. However, that's not to say that asexual people don't date or have relationships, or even have sex if it's for the partner. You can still be attracted to people for any reason you want to be attracted for if you're asexual.

Also, gay here. Used to be a president of a gay straight alliance back in high school where I pushed myself and others to learn a lot about all members of the LGBTQA spectrum. That was 2 years ago though!

They can still experience romantic attraction but I have no interest in sex, some may even feel ill at the idea. Some asexuals do choose to have sex with a partner but only usually to have a child. But there are variations in asexuality.

I've heard some asexuals like the idea of sex because of pleasure or w/e, but don't personally find the person sexually attractive idk so i guess they can do that and have sex with their partner if they want to?
 
My area is very conservative and my sexuality has attracted some malicious comments. My family and friends are supportive, but my past girlfriend and I were always a bit shaky on public displays of affection.

Whoops? was I on a different page. I'll still leave this here though. Just because.

Hello, everyone! I'm Cam, a Genderfluid asexual panromantic in a relationship with a lovely girl c:
 
Today my 29 year old sister came out to us. (She's bi) But she hasn't told our parents yet; they are still reluctant to accept gay people and other things. Anyways we went out and met her Girlfriend, and she was really nice.

Just thought I'd share my story.

That's nice. I hope it ends well with telling your parents. :)

I'm also bisexual, but nobody knows. My family is absolutely not homophobic, but I would still feel uncomfortable telling them. I hope I'll have the courage to tell them some day though.
 
What does genderfluid mean?

Genderfluidity is a basic term which means that someone doesn't fit into normal gender standards, often used by people which feel their gender is neither boy or girl, or they switch between feeling like a boy or girl. They just can't identify themselves as either, and therefore define themselves as genderfluid.

The word fluidity by itself means 'flowing easily', so just apply that to the idea of gender.
