[@RobertBennie-vx8zs]

I was slow coming around to accept but now have no problem with anyone's life style. You idea to do a Q&A was a great idea because I don't have anyone close enough to ask questions. But I have 1 to ask as a female involving sex. Do you or is there a different between using toys and having a male with the real thing. I hope I worded that ok if I didn't I apologize I do not mean anything negative to you or anyone I just don't have a lot of knowledge on this. Thank you for your post it did answer questions I have and gave me more understanding of the guy community.

[@jamakaya1332]

About dating, if you like someone, ask them out. They may say "no" or the date might not go well. You can get over that. What's harder to get over is wondering later "I wish I would have asked her..." or "I wonder what would have happened if..." Go for it! Besides, if the date doesn't become a lover, they might become a friend.

I SECOND THIS!! excellent advice. dont live with regret!

As a closeted teenage lesbian, i love your content, it has helped me learn so much about the community and makes me feel safe and i laugh so much until my chest hurts. You are smart, funny and beautiful, you go girl❤

[@sappho-favourite-pupil]

Funny story: I'm dating my "ex" best friend (she's my ✨girlfriend✨ now). When i came out to her she reminded me of this one time when we were like eleven. We were walking together, she asked me to hold hands, and i wanted to but then i was like "what if people think we're lesbians?" I knew i was gay before i could even realise i was gay.

[@Esamack]

Lol I'm 14 I realised last year I remember when was 6 I really liked this girl so I avoided her until I moved schools 😂😂

[@landslave]

What a legacy that you love your childhood friend. I know a straight couple who met in kindergarten and have been best friends ever since. They are still married and are grandparents now. Neither one remembers life before the other, neither one ever dated anyone else or slept with anyone else. Their parents said they had this very peculiar soul-bound existence, and they are very much in love now. Their kids think it is a little weird that their mom was at their dad's 6th birthday party. But they have known about it their whole lives too and accept it. The couple have been in their in-laws lives for over 60 yrs now, and they are under age 70.

Straight CIS guy here, I follow a lot of lesbians on KZbin and Instagram, I do not interact/comment a lot, I just found out that lesbians are generally fun and nice to have around. The few I comment/Interact with are about other things then their sexuality, like their hobby or whatever they are doing on KZbin, lots of vanlifers and tech channels.

[@playtester6635]

Yeah, same thing happened to me. I like quality contebt and I like people sharing perspectives that are different from mine. Don't know why. Also, my partner is bi and I've introduced her to most of my favorite queer creators, lol.

[@small_and_dangerous2068]

“How do you ask someone if they are gay?” Is such a real question. I worked a job as a teenager with other teenagers. Worked with all kinds of people. I was fairly convinced a coworker of mine was likely gay but didn’t want to just come out and ask, it didn’t feel appropriate and we only saw each other at work. So I sort of just filed it away as “I think he’s gay, okay moving on to working”. Well one day, he asks me if I want to go to the movies with him. I’m in work mode so I don’t pick up on a lot of things. I think he just wants to hang out and take our blossoming friendship to a place outside of work. I agree and we set a date and time for over the weekend. After his shift is over I’m hounded by two of my coworkers. “I can’t believe he asked you out.” “I didn’t think he’d actually do that! I thought he wasn’t over his ex.” Me: “Uh… what?? This isn’t a date… we’re just friends.” “He doesn’t think that. He asked you out.” Me: “Is… is he not… gay? Did I read that wrong?” To summarize the ending: Went home and panicked, decided I’d stick to my commitment and go, didn’t let him buy me anything but a ticket, kept my eyes on the screen and my hands in my lap under my legs the entire time so he couldn’t reach for my hand. I also told him beforehand that I’d drive myself to the theater. So yeah… don’t always make assumptions 😂

I've been a straight subscriber for a few years now. One's sexual orientation doesn't mean a thing to me. I judge by character and actions and Lauren checks both boxes. I enjoyed her Q&A here as I've had the same questions myself. Merry X-mas Lauren.

[@Flaviociampone1]

Straight man here. This is the first video I watched from the channel, I watched because I like to consume videos that will teach me something and nothing teaches better then diversity

[@small_and_dangerous2068]

Hi! Straight viewer here. Why am I here? Tbh it’s because I enjoy your personality and I often find that I am drawn to your content because we both have very different experiences, so I’m always curious to see what it’s like for someone experiencing the opposite attraction. My older sister is gay and she is open to talking about it, but it’s a bit of a taboo thing in our house due to our super religious parents. They aren’t… unaccepting? They just aren’t “woohoo!” About it either, so we don’t really chat about that side of her life when she’s over. So I learn a lot from the internet. My sister and I do text a lot and I have met her girlfriend before and she’s very lovely! :)

[@LuckyDucky81310]

3:58 with this question that was asked I watch her because I can understand LGBTQ slang and everything better since I’m just a baby lesbian (learned the term baby gay or baby lesbian from her) it helps me understand more about this stuff because I’m a lesbian and I feel like I should know what all this means❤❤

a lot of great questions. I would hope that most of straight people subscribed to your channel are here to educate themselves. You're doing a great job at educating people on the LGBTQIA+ community, which is also very important for people who are questioning their sexuality. Also now, as a self-secure pan person, I like to educate myself on experiences from the community, which I don't get to have myself. This is also important to fight against all unnecessary hate within our community.

[@chrisbaines6931]

This is the first video of yours i've watched. I'm straight and male, I watched it as one of my best friends came out to me many years ago and i said some silly stuff to him at the time. we talked about it for a while and we had a laugh about it all after the event. I was interested to see what questions people are afraid to ask as my relationship with my mate got better as he could be honest with me. no conversations have been taboo between us.

[@elenabarber8069]

About the falling for your best friend thing-- I think that subconsciously girls tend to befriend girls whose vibes or looks they appreciate, and especially in (closeted?) lesbian/bi/pan girls, they might sort of just be attracted to a girl that they somewhat like, and therefore become their friend, and as they get to know them more and spend more time with them, they might later realize that they do indeed like their friend.

[@nathanzammit7671]

I’m a straight man, and I’d say there’s more than you’d think who fit into the curious and educating category 😊. I think my Spotify wrapped has told something about me I didn’t clock until now haha. So 4 of my top 5 artists turn out to be gay / queer: The Japanese House, Boygenius, Aurora and Clairo. And what I believe that’s saying is that I tend to connect to songs with the subject matter being falling for women, but from a woman’s perspective rather than a man’s, because with the female songwriters I idolise, their lyrics describe the modern complexities of being attracted to someone, but often without relying on being stereotypically forward as men have known to be in songs when they’re attracted to someone. To me, these queer artists often offer more detailed lyrics on introspection in attraction, and I feel that connects me more to an artist, by understanding them more, which helps me to enjoy a song more than surface level generic lyrics on loving someone.

[@andrewgoldstein1029]

Hi Lauren, great video! I'm a straight cis guy, and I have a couple of questions if you ever do a part 2. 1. How do you react if you find out a straight guy is into you or finds you attractive? Or tries to pick you up? 2. What is it like being in a situation like a women's locker room? I've wondered what it'd be like to be in that kind of situation if I were potentially attracted to the other people there, and it seems like it could be awkward. And, since you asked...I checked out the vid because I thought it might be interesting to get gay peoples' perspectives on straight people, if that makes sense.

[@lasepp]

I‘m also a straight guy, but I do have a perspective on 2: as someone who enjoys going to the sauna I‘ve been to a few mixed gender locker / changing rooms / showers and at least for me it always felt quite normal. I‘m there for the relaxation and don‘t really think about anything like that. I think it‘s more awkward in thought than it is in reality. Maybe it‘s different for others, but I guess it‘s more about the individual than the orientation. But I‘m curious to hear from someone into the same gender how their experience is like.

[@KillerKill95]

I'm a guy and I'm 100% straight, but I sometimes give out a "gay" vibe, so I've been ask a bit too many times by friends/previous coworkers/etc "Are you gay?" Like, no subtlety or anything, just "Are you gay?", or even ask me "is that your boyfriend?" when I'm hanging out with a guy friend. Sometimes I think it's funny, but sometimes I think it's just out of place, depending on how/when they ask. 😅

[@Andy_from_de]

I had this video in my recommendations and don't know why. But I did enjoy watching it. :-) It only freaked me out that you were using the Discord notification sound whenever a new question came up. The first four or five times I hectially checked Discord, wondering why I didn't see anything. :-D I'm a straight guy in his 50s, always accepting anyone for the person they are. Fun fact about me, I am also a long time gamer, and when it comes to character creation and (if available) romance options, I always play a female who falls for another woman. Not because I have any particular fantasies about lesbians, it's just that it feels "natural" in the fantasy world of a game. It takes concious effort for me to play as a male. I never felt uncomfortable in my body or had a problem with being a guy, I was married and am a dad, trying to pass on this open-mindedness to my son. I have long given up thinking about what that says about me, I now simply enjoy that in those game worlds, the inner lesbian in me seems to have an outlet.

[@samusmp1_4]

On LGBTQIA+ yeah it's kind of clunky to say (doesn't roll off the tongue like BIPOC), but the kind of person who asks in bad faith, "how am I supposed to remember what all those letters mean?" also knows off the top of their head the Win-Loss record of their favorite sports team going back to 1962.

[@daemonsca]

Cis guy here, and a little bit of "all of the above". I try to learn more, and try to be an ally. But to be honest I do perv as well, but not on YT. I would never comment that way on YT or irl with my lesbian friends. I mostly understand lesbians because I share their point of view. I just wish more men understood that it's not "about them" and it's not a competition.

13:01 / 13:07 - oh, interesting. I've heard GSRM (Gender, Sex, and Relationship Minorities was how I remember having heard it, though wikipedia says Romantic Minorities instead of Relationship Minorities, and also says that «it is SGM ("Sexual and Gender Minority") that has gained the most advancement in the United States since 2014»... I'd not heard GSD before, but also, that's not where I thought you were going to go with this. I thought you were going to say "QUILT BAG" -- which I like just for being so easy to say. :)

[@oriomenoni7651]

I'm a straight guy and one of my dear friends, and actually a colleague at work as well, is a lesbian. We have a great time together and it's very fun to go out with her because with her, I can talk about women the same way I do when I'm with my male friends, and that is fun! :) But also interesting because anyway I found the perspective of a lesbian girl towards other girls is different from the perspective we males have - and it's refreshing! One thing though makes me uncomfortable with lesbians, and it's that I perceive some disdain, if not plain contempt, towards me, just because I'm a man. Now, this does NOT happen with my friend, because like I said, we're dear friends, almost like siblings, but it happens with her female friends. I don't know, for all my life i've always been very open and accepting, I'm far from being homophobic, for me all humans are the same, but I don't feel this sentiment to be reciprocated by lesbians towards me. I understand it may not be easy for them because probably lesbians are used to be discriminated by conformists... but it makes me sad. I'd like to know if you see this happening with your acquaintances as well.

[@dayceem]

That precisely would have been my question as well. How tight and exclusive is the lesbian community and do they generally resent it if a man tries to be part of the 'club'? Like most things, I'm guessing a lot of it is down to individual attitudes, but there are those few awkward times when I've detected a palpable 'you're not invited' vibe.

[@johnperkins1301]

KZbin algorithm brought me here. Two things about one’s sexuality: 1) it matters. 2) it doesn’t matter at all. For me, both are true. As a kid in the 60’s we had two “brothers” next door on one side, and Mrs Shank on the other. She divorced and in a little while a woman gym teacher moved in. Neither was a big deal. My parents simply told me it is what it is.

1:49 It depends, if it's only the sex or the gender that's changing that I'd probably choose that but otherwise I'm choosing sexuality

[@suckers0]

Some great questions and equally good, thorough answers delivered in a fun way.

[@millinutz]

Yes, part 2 please. Does a lesbian go back and forth between being the butch or feminine partner, according to the partner she's has in the present moment or is that roll a given from the start and you stay that way no matter who you're with?

I’m late to see this video, but I must comment on the answer about the 70’s. Being as I remember the 70’s, I can tell you that at least in my area it was very much free love back then. Everyone was having relations with everyone. No one had any worries or judgements about these matters.

[@A_random_pxnthxr]

This video is very relatable sometimes I tell myself to not like my best friend thank you for making it clear that it’s ok! Thx :)

[@ViEdits00]

Can you do a video on how to tell if they like you? I think that would be a cool video to do. Also, love the video Lauren!!! Keep it up with the 12 Days Of Christmas!! 🎉🌈🏳️‍🌈

Straight guy here. You're smart, funny, and this was a really interesting video. I've enjoyed having some lesbian friends over the years

[@jakeworkman9520]

I'm a conservative, but I will comment on one thing. Although there are multiple things that hit me, only one seemed like it was beyond a personal choice or belief. That one thing was how a company looks at the LGBTQ+ community. I don't see why it matters what that company thinks of you. That part of your life should not control the work you do. If the company won't hire you because of that part of your life then that is illegal. Go to work and do your jobs, then go home and do whatever you want. Companies need to stay out of personal lives, just pay us for the work we do.

I'm a straight guy and years ago I worked with this woman who identified as. Gay but I was immediately attracted to her! I think she is actually Bi because there was always a vibe between us! TBH I think I could still be attracted to her! Yes! On the Pride Parade! I attended one in my Hometown a few years ago! It was an awesome vibe! Yes On a Part 2 of this series!

[@ZombieboyXP]

I wanna tell a girl that I like her but I'm scared she will say no and that she only likes me as a friend, can you give me some tips?? Edit: I told her I liked her and she friend zoned me(I cried in the shower...)

[@OliverandAverie858]

Same my friend is straight but so hot

[@ZombieboyXP]

@@OliverandAverie858 I asked her and it didn't go well.... She said she didn't like me back but she still loved me and wanted to be my friend

[@VanessaChats]

GSD is awesome however I'm a dog person and my instant go to when hearing GSD is "German Shephard Dog" hahaha

[@AnnaHinman-rf6qf]

2:07 i relate to this part sooo much especially since i am a gymnast and dating someone pn the team

[@MargieAlbright-i6h]

I just came across your post, and find you very interesting. I subscribed and look forward to future posts! ❤

[@henrikharbin5521]

My feeling as a straight man in his late 50s who's been friendly with LGBT people, is that to me, the only thing that matters is "is the person kind?". That said, I was in a relationship with a woman for 9 years who might have been bisexual, but the question never came up. I was attracted to her because she was kind, had a weird sense of humor like mine, and we could usually talk easily. I found out later that ahe was hiding things from me and had started to lie, so we split up.

[@aruxani]

This is so off topic but I couldn't help but notice your copy of TBOSAS on the bottom shelf. It's such a beautiful book. I love thg

[@livresaudiobylynn]

You made me smile all through the vid. My face muscles are tired

[@laurenelloise]

awww :')

[@michaelwear2252]

an organisation i belonged to, one of us (a guy) came out to us. We laughed because we had known for ages. He also said we were all safe, so we took that as an insult (What's wrong with me then you ba$t@rd). As he was shy we all offered to go to a gay club with him.

[@Dragon-ws5bu]

I play basketball in an all girls team and I did not tell them about me being gay yet cuz idk how they will react its been a year and a half as well so idk

[@Frostz_Insanity]

As a fellow Lesbian, I really wish that we would stop adding letters to LGBTQIA+ acronym. Like, can we just call it LGBT or LGBTQ+? I genuinely dont think anyone would have a real problem if we stopped adding, or took away some letters XD.

[@isaiahgallego]

I’m a gay guy and I never really wondered about this stuff but this was very fun and interesting lol!

[@OliverandAverie858]

I love your shirts but I’m still closeted and my school is so messed up I would probably get dress coded

[@ellouisebadger849]

100% choose being a man. I'd prefer that over being a straight woman 😅

[@Candy30498]

I think it is understandable:))

[@Imetwurld_]

Im a straight woman and i think i would prefer being a straight man too .
