My mom said something, in a bummed tone, about having to take her pride flags down because pride month is over. I said to her, "you know, you can be proud all year long if you want." And she had this look as if that never even occurred to her. They're still up. She's come leaps and bounds and I'm proud of her.

The woman realizing she's gay at the same time her partner came out as trans is so sweet! I guess maybe even when she thought she was marrying a man, some part of her was attracted to the woman she didn't know she was marrying.

A similar thing happened with my parents. My mom is bisexual and had only dated men before she met her wife. Before said wife came out, my mom was always talking about how my “dad” was so much more sensitive and understanding than any guy she’d dated before, and that there was just something about it that was different. A few years later, they both figured it out and they recently got remarried as two women on their 20th anniversary.

I’ve been meaning to say this for a while and I might have already I don’t remember. But I just wanted to say when I started watching you I was under the impression I was a cis woman. I started watching you when I was questioning if I liked girls. I remember you talking about people saying how they watched you before they noticed they were trans and I was like “no, couldn’t be me, I’m definitely a girl.” Months later now I identify as trans and use he/they pronouns. Sometimes we surprise ourselves I guess. Edit: thanks for the support and I love reading all your stories in the replies. I just want you to know you’re all valid and you’re not alone

[@SammyLammy1D]

[@zenpie5093]

I didn’t understand I was lgbtq+ until I started to get to know people from the community and talk to them about their experiences and noticed that what I had felt since I was a child was something they experienced too. I identify as non binary and bi nowadays and finally understood why I didn’t fit in with the others that easily. Before that I felt like a hetero cis girl that’s just „not like other girls“ 😅

[@DarDarBinks1986]

I'm a trans lesbian, too, so I can relate to that. When I came out two years ago, my mom was the first relative I told. She knew for years that I shave my body hair off and had her suspicions about me at least since I was a teenager. When you factor in step-relatives, I told my step-niece before any of the rest knew. "Malika" is gay, too, and we have plenty of common interests so I felt she was safe to tell. She had her suspicions about me being trans or gay. In a way, she was right about both.

[@PKMNResearcherSkyler]

@Non-Binary Disabled Dolphin yeah, lesbians are attracted to other women. Trans women are women. I don't seem to see what the confusion is here

[@annaboivin9209]

Why gender, sexual orientation or whatever has anything to do with anyone else is beyond me. We just need to be kind and love each other.

I had a talk with my mom yesterday about how just 100 years ago, I would have been locked up and much worse, for being the way I am, and I think she might be starting to understand why I'm making myself so visible now. I'm a gay trans guy from germany... It's not even been 100 years... but there's been so much progress all over the world since then... we still have a long way to go, but it's getting better.

[@FiddlebirdBlue]

The version in my head featured the first one come-out-to absolutely helpless with involuntary, situationally inappropriate relief laughter, because I tend to laugh with relief and the more intense it is, the harder it is to suppress. But never fear! In my head, the hugging and patting and happy crying through the laughter made it clear all was well, so first one to-come-out wasn't in terrible, pained suspense. I'm sure Rachael is right and it was less cinematic, but our versions are cute too! :)

Kind of related to that last one, when Ireland had our vote to amend the constitution for same sex marriage. The text read "Marriage may be contracted in accordance with law by two person without distinction as to their sex" (ie, gender of the participants of the marriage is not a factor in the legality of the marriage. However the Irish text (as our constitution exists in both langauge) read "Féadfaidh beirt, cibé acu is fir nó mná iad, conradh a dhéanamh i leith pósadh de réir dlí" translated directly meaning "a couple may, whether they are men or women, make a contract of marriage in accordance with law" which had an interpretation (the 'they' implying plural here due to it referencing couple) necessarily both had to be men OR women.

Hmm… I use they/it/he and I thought abt this type of stuff. Generally I know a lot of people who have thought of “nibling” for nephews/nieces and just siblings who use they/them pronouns (my uncle uses that for me a lot I said they could call me nephew but they don’t want too-) but I think generally, the person who has the nephew would be able too decide if they want to be uncle or auntie? Sometimes I think about when I become an uncle- I’d want to be called uncle because that’s my preference. But it’s very hard to decide- some people like too merge them together but hmm… when you look up on google you’ll see “pibling” standing for parents sibling which I personally think sounds… interesting… but yeah I think most the time I see non-binaries who just identify as “non-binary aunt” or “non-binary uncle” and uh- yeah hope that helps ?? Basically just make it clear that they have decided they are okay too be called aunt or uncle even though they are non-binary and it should be fine I guess ^^

Random fun fact: r/prequelmemes didnt change the picture back from palpatine with a pride flag to normal palpatine on july 1st (the mods are slow with that there). After a few days of people making memes about it, the mods changed it to palpatine with the pride flag and some sunglasses. Just thought its funny and it kind of fits with wholesome/funny lgbt stuff

My mom let me pick out a new backpack online for this school year and I picked one that was sort of gradient rainbow. It’s a small victory and I’m a bit worried but I’m hopeful. I go to a catholic school and some people I truly believed in turned out homophobic and transphobic. I can’t really trust anyone. I also think one of my less-behaved classmates is in the closet and hiding under homophobia and jokes. His friend I’m pretty sure he had a crush on moved to California at the end of last year. I’m hoping that he and any other closeted classmates figure out they’re not alone there. I wouldn’t mind knowing that myself.

[@FiddlebirdBlue]

Congrats on your rainbow backpack victory! It sounds like this is a difficult time in your life, and I feel for you! Just remember that one day, you will be free to build the awesome life you want and deserve, be you an ally or a member of the LGBTQUIA+ community. The people around you now may have power of many kinds over you, but one day you will have very different people populating your life, and they will love, accept, support, understand, and include you. Take care of yourself!

[@not_the_only_cannoli_]

I literally started crying while watching this! I wish my parents/family were this supportive. They are so homophobic/transphobic/LGBTQphobic in general. I went to the store with them today and I literally had to ignore all instructions I'd ever gotten from my parents about not walking away from them, so I didn't start crying randomly in front of them. I had to avoid the "Why are you crying?" question, while they were talking about transphobic shite. They were talking about a transphobic man who got into a fight with a trans woman, and now the transphobic man's store is getting so much positive attention and so many customers because he's transphobic and he fought with a trans woman. My parents are so proud of that man and the fact that his sales are skyrocketing. 😿 Long story not so short, thank you, Jamie, for making me smile. ✨😽✨

[@John_Weiss]

My advice: Protect Yourself: Say Nothing. Bide your time until you are financially independent from them. Use private browser tabs. Erase your viewing history from all media. Protect Yourself: Use DuckDuckGo or another search engine that doesn't track you. Use the web browser interface to all your social media and not the apps, so that the algorithms don't feed you suggestions that anyone with your devices can find. Protect Yourself: Lie every and any time they ask you about LGBT+ stuff. Meanwhile, plan for your future when you can be your true self. And mourn. Mourn that you don't have a family that will ever love and accept you. Mourn that your biological progenitors aren't your parents, they're your keepers. If it helps, harden your heart. If it helps, hate them for every bigoted thing they say. And when, in 4, or 8, or 10 years when you finally are free of them, build your Logical Family to replace your poisonous biological family. Then, come out to them by telling them that they never loved you, then remind them of every homophobic and transphobic thing they've done. Do it in a letter so you can't be interrupted. Then Protect Yourself: cut off all communication. And then, at long last, build your new life, your true life.

[@not_the_only_cannoli_]

@@John_Weiss Is that what you did?

[@John_Weiss]

@@not_the_only_cannoli_ Fortunately, no, because I didn't come out until (a) I was 23; and (b) 8 months after I was hospitalized for psychosis caused by a major depressive episode. I met my now-husband shortly thereafter. Everyone was just relieved that I was alive, and overjoyed that I was actually happy at long last. But in my 52 years of life, I've known more than a few gay men, lesbians, and transwomen who had to cut ties with their biological family. Also: not one did my depressive mood disorder complicate my coming out to myself (because it shuts off a person's libido), during major episodes, I'd start to suffer from paranoia. That carved a groove into my mind all those years before I finally got treatment, so I've remained a tad paranoid in regards to some things, especially security and privacy. Again: Protect Yourself. Plan for the Future. Bide Your Time.

I need to know if I’m the only one that feels like this: You know that feeling when there’s lots of food in the pantry but you don’t what to eat. Except that instead of a pantry it’s the closet and the food it’s possible sexualities. Then you just stand there overwhelmed by the options before rage quitting (being straight), only to return 20 minutes later and repeat. This is how I feel trying to figure out my own sexuality and was wondering if I was the only one.

[@John_Weiss]

Be patient with yourself. You are allowed to be uncertain. If you're sexuality is still out-of-focus, that's okay. Some of us know we're not cis-het-allo, but don't know anything more until some time passes and we've had more experiences in our lives. Sounds like you're one of those. So again, be patient with yourself. Be kind to yourself. _You Are Still Valid,_ even if you don't have a specific letter in the ever-growing acronym. Back in the 1990s we were trying to reclaim the word "Queer" as an umbrella-term for the entire gender-n-sexual-minorities community. Why not just use that, if you need a label, until things come into focus?
