Happy Pride Month! 🌈 (2D)

[@TheXaon]

I avoided coming out until I was 21 because my family were (and are) kinda homophobic, and all of my friends would always use gay as an insult. At 21 though I made some new friends at university, I just said “Guys, I think I’m gay” whilst we were all walking into a cinema. I was met with the response “Cool man, hurry up” from my now best friend Matt. That friend group really helped. Especially by having people to talk to when my family kicked up a fuss.

[@TheXaon]

I also think ‘coming out’ is a huge deal. As a teen I used to cry myself to sleep pretty often because I wanted to date this cute guy at school but I figured I’d never get to because I could never let anyone find out I liked men

[@briannagarrett6637]

I'm 14 right now and I have to go to an Islamic school where they constantly preach homophobic and transphobic teachings.

I'm so happy you had a friend like Chia. I am bisexual and I came out to my very close cousin when I was 12 years old. She said something along the lines of "It's okay, just don't crush on me" and "Your parents will not like that". It did not go well, but luckily I have so many supportive friends who are always by my side. It's been 4 years since I first came out and I am really happy with myself

[@TheSlipperyNUwUdle]

So I recently learned there is a subset of asexual called “autochorissexual” and I feel so seen!!! I’ve always been repulsed at the thought of being involved in sexual situations myself. But I do regularly enjoy the more sexual parts of BL. I thought I couldn’t be “real asexual” because I wasn’t disgusted my R-18 BL. And now it just... feels validating to know I’m not alone? I feel like you guys are the only people that would understand? I don’t know. I’m just happy I’m not alone. And can finally classify myself as asexual.

[@JelliesWorld]

This is my first time hearing about this! I feel the same way! Ppl always ask how can I read BL while being asexual and I always find it hard to explain. Gonna do some research on this term now!

[@TheSlipperyNUwUdle]

@@JelliesWorld omg I’m so happy I found another person that understands. 😭😭😭 we’re around the same age too. So it’s like... idk. Nice knowing this isn’t just something teens identify with. No offense to teens. It’s just that... being asexual always made me feel like an inadequate adult. I’ve never dated. Never kissed. Haven’t had a crush in 14 years. I feel so childish. But I now realize it’s okay to be a little different. And I’m trying to learn to accept that.

[@RedHatClub]

Oh my soul op this is me 😭, thank you so much for this like I've been struggling for years to coin my asexuality to a "T", this term just added to it. Oh my goodness this is the best post, thank you because this old bat (me) just learned something life changing. ♡

[@thisistheaccountname]

I guess I never came out to my family and I never will because I'm not one for labels and quite honestly I don't think any romantic or sexual stuff in my life involves them, but at one family gather, could have been a birthday party for one of my nieces or nephews, my family was hassling me again because they still think I'm just a closeted lesbian. So I said "I just don't care." As in I don't care for coupling and just thinking about having another person in my life and having to consider their "feelings", and altering my life around their schedule reaffirms that it's not the kind of life I want. I have told my family multiple times that I don't care and I prefer to be alone. When I have to label myself, I'm Asexual and if you want to get real specific about it, I'm Aromantic. Have a wonderful Pride Month.

It's so depressing when you remember a previous friendship where the both sides were emotionally attached to each other and told each other everything about their life. Even if it was a wonderful relationship, it ended due to the lack of contact. I mean sure, maybe there are other factors but whenever you remember a relationship like this, it just hurts. Please don't cut your ties with your close friends. At least try not to.

This is one of the first video’s of Josh’s that I have watched (new subscriber by the way and I support you 100%) and honestly I was shocked by the hentai part to the point to where I’m just wondering what hentai did you watch 😳 (not genuinely asking btw) But yeah - I support you - but I’m still a bit curious .. so Josh if you see this - what is your gender identity? Sexuality? And pronouns (just so I don’t mess it up in the future) I’m Gender-Fluid and Gender-Flux Greysexual , Demiromantic , and a gender fluid lesbian lol. My pronouns are They/Them/Their/Theirs/Themself It/Its/Itself Ey/Em/Eir/Eirs/Emself :)

Josh was born female. I think they’re non-binary? But I’m not sure. 🤔 they use a binder for their chest. They say they don’t really mind any pronouns but prefer they/them. And to not get mad in the comments if someone gets it wrong. I think they’re bisexual or pansexual but prefer women. And they’re asexual. They go more in depth in their q and a video.
