I hope one day being a gay christian will be a whole lot easier.
Especially since you told me such nice things about Jesus, Lady K... :( There should be less unfairness overall over this type of stuff. Because love is beautiful. And I believe a good God would truly accept it in ANY form :) EDIT: This post had mispellings o.o; |
idk how y'all can do it. my partner is friends with a married lesbian couple that are expecting their second child and they're quite religious. they of course spend a good amount of time researching and checking churches when they've moved house and stuff because they want to go somewhere that they can worship and be loved and respected and not looked down upon for their sexuality and their growing family, but like. being lgbt is hard enough for the people that abhor christianity. i can't imagine even keeping faith in that kind of stuff while being lgbt. i mean i guess i can because, despite no longer being religious, i would like to believe that (at least, as i was always taught) god would only care that you are a good person in your earthly life and not care about whether you married the same sex or not.

^Agreed. Even though I’m not religious, I give massive respect to anyone on the lgbt+ spectrum that keeps their faith. I can’t imagine it’s an easy thing to reconcile internally, let alone in a public setting or in a church, even if they are more tolerant. While I do absolutely believe that being lgbt+ does not equate to atheism and the two can coexist, it’s not been made easy at all. :(
|
Yeah I only really started doubting my faith when people kept telling me how sinful gay people were. :'(
Right now I'm looking into Metropolitan Community Church. A fellow countryman got gay married to his beau here through that church, and it even made the national news rounds online. So that gives me hope. I don't know what my family will think of me if I do end up leaving Roman Catholicism behind, but I have to do it. I just want to believe in a God that doesn't look down on my romantic inclinations. I've already considered calling myself agnostic before hearing about the MCC. |
i really dont know how to come out lol. having an unusual gender identity isnt as easily understood as having a different sexual orientation than Straight here; ive broached the gender topic to several friends by now (casually, generally) but they're all like "ah yes the two genders, everyone is Man or Female or mentally ill" and i get a bit disheartened i guess. ahah. better just... not mention it at all i guess. it's not like it hurts my life to keep being called "lady" forever. much. i guess.
|
I've decided that it's better to sever the ties that I have to my own family than to "come out" in any way, shape, or form.
It's... excessive yes, but they're not going to understand my particular situation. They know and don't really care if I'm gay (and they're not entirely wrong, I guess), but being.. me, is a whole different thing altogether that I really don't want to sit down and explain to every single one of my family members, so it's best if I don't and go about doing my own thing. |

That's the thing though... it's going to take a lot of strength and willpower to do that. It's going to crush me, but I pretty much don't have a choice. I know my family, out of sheer disbelief, is going to convince me that I'm somehow wrong for being what I am, or that I'm confused or something or another and I don't want to deal with all of that.

I've been trying to get a hold of Love, Simon for almost a month now, and I still can't find one that's reasonably priced.
It's a good movie. I watched it in cinemas with my friends more than a year ago. I guess I just wanted my mom to watch it, too. So if I can get it on physical, that would be great. |
while we're on the topic of coming out to family, I did so using.. well, facebook. at least for everyone who wasn't immediate family. they mostly don't bring it up and they just like... act like me being queer (ill edit my post if that word bothers anyone) doesn't exist? or some just don't know. its better than them being rude asf abt it though
but yes we're here for you colours! |

I can’t believe I haven’t joined this? I’m Fletch and I’m a gay cis man.
Coming out Stories? I did it in Facebook too. But it was mainly for friends and peers, my family pretty much already knew and coming out to them was pretty easy. But to school? Man. I was harassed, queer baited and attacked for a two years before it settled down and it seemed that people just didn’t give a fuck anymore. But I always had my two friend groups by my side so I was pretty lucky in that regard. |
hey i'm ivan. i'm a trans man (he/him pronouns) and pansexual. i've been on hrt for over a year and don't have any plans on surgery atm. i'm very dlowly beginning to get the body/appearance i want.
i came out years ago to friends and family. my exyended family and godparents have casted me out. my parents are trying to be understanding and they're getting there. my friends were supportive from the beginning, and i have a boyfriend who is also trans. :) |

Apparently it's Pride Week in some universities around the city where I live. I've been meaning to attend some events within the university I'm in, but I haven't had the chance to do so. |
Indeed welcome to the club everyone! :D
I like to think that everyday, in some place in the world, it's pride week aha. |

why is this so quiet when it's basically the most inclusive club on the site :3
Hi how are you all |
I've always been super shy about posting here but I'm coming more into myself so let's give it a go.
I'm doing well. Just finished my final so I can work more on Christmas presents for friends now. How about you? |
yooooo
not doing much on my end, regular ol' thursday morning and all. i was.... actually intending on taking a good walk today, but i don't feel like getting out of bed. perhaps tomorrow or sometime during the weekend. @[email protected] |

Just to inform everyone, there’s a trans and non-binary support group opening in Northern NJ sometime this February. If you’re in the area and feel you could use some TLC from your peers in a group setting, please PM me for details. I’ll give you the number to call, times, and dates. Much love!
xoxo |
Oof it’s been a long time since I posted here (I was Pemderp previously). After thinking about it for a while I realized pansexual describes me better than bi. My moms were very supportive when I came out and I’m incredibly grateful for that.
|
Hi gays~ i'm Dakota. I'm a trans girl with a very confused sexuality (i basically alternate between het/bi/asexual?). Hows everyone?
|
Hello. I am RedBalloon. I am a cis-girl, but my sexuality fluctuates VERY often, like I am a very confused girl *sigh* At least i'm 90% grounded in my gender. Hoping to find my sexuality through the help of good friends at the PC. :)
|
pfft, who needs a grounded gender
;) |
Hi everybody,
/Gives hugs to all These are such difficult times. With schools closing, jobs coming to a hault, and many of us living in self-quarantine and all the social distancing I hope everybody is still able to have some interactions with partners. You have to be creative, but there are ways to still have intimate moments like movie watching nights while chatting on Discord, couples apps, sending care packages, email photos and tons of ways to have some fun with your special somebody. If you have any stories of romantic exchanges with your boyfriend or girlfriend don't hesitate to share. I'm also always available to talk if anyone just needs an ally, friend and shoulder to lean. Love y'all. Everybody stay safe. |
Hi,
I figured this would be the best place to post this but I no longer go by my previous name. I’m now going by Ethan and have been since about late January. I also realized I’m a trans male, and that I’m queer/mlm since I like all genders but mostly feel an attraction to men. So..yeah. I only use he/him pronouns. |

Hey Ethan!
Haven't posted here since I joined so as an update: I think after years of struggling to put a label to who I am - I've come to the realisation I've had a lot of internalised homophobia over the years and that I am in fact, 100% homosexual much to the dismay of my parents. I've had a few close friends who have supported me through a lot of questioning and I cannot thank them enough for being super patient with me. I tried to convince myself for years that I'd end up in a 'straight passing relationship' - I even went on a few dates but realised I was just trying to please people around me. So I guess this is also a re-introduction - I finally reached an answer as of maybe a few months ago? I haven't come out to a lot of people in my personal life the first time around, let alone again but this seems like a good place to start. :) Late on the subject but our city also had its pride event about 2 months ago? I wasn't able to go that day but I wanted to. My friend recently came out as transgender and I wanted to go to support them but unfortunately couldn't. Next year I think though hopefully if I am comfortable enough, I'll go both for my friends and for myself. It'd be nice! |
Hop aboard Ethan! We're happy to have you here with us!
I'm thankful for the new friends who have come here and old friends who have come back. Shoutout to Dakota! I'm hoping you get to celebrate at the pride event next year Aslan, and see your friends at last and give them support and receive some love and support in return <3 |

Also hello I finally updated the first post does this mean i can win worst club owner how has everyone been? |
Hello! My name is Peter. I'm a male that is most likely bisexual. (?)
Over time, a few years or so, a series of events and thinking have made me come to the decision that I'm probably not straight. I don't know... I see some male friends of mine, and they look attractive in my eyes... I don't know why though, I have no idea if it's what I actually feel, or if I'm just really tired (Even if I'm tired and not gay, I don't have anything against LGBTQ+). I've told a few of my friends and only my friends, maybe like 3? Would I be able to join in the club? |
You’re more than welcome!
Also I’ve been okay. Struggling since I’m constantly called my deadname at home and the only time I’m called by Ethan is when family members feel obligated to. |
Let's get this big beautiful flag in the air! Happy Pride month! We're not going to let the pandemic stop the spirit of love of celebration this June and each and everyday!

Happy Pride Month everyone! Sam is exactly right! We aren't going to let the pandemic shadow over our month at all. While we may not be able to attend any pride parades or rallies we will still celebrate this amazing month together and remember exactly who fought for our rights and honor them. Stay safe everyone and have a great month!

Happy Pride Month! I hope you're all staying safe ❤

Hello there! Finally decided to introduce myself and hopefully make it into the club 😊
I'm Loomie / Eleanor, I'm a cis male and I'm straight! For now, I'm still thinking of myself as a straight ally, but I'm also starting to question my own sexuality and experiment a bit with it, hoping to get to know myself better. I still have many things to learn! Case in point, I've found out by chance about asexuality and demisexuality, and if there's one label that could fit me, maybe it's one of these two. I don't wanna jump to conclusions just yet, though - labels only get you so far, I suppose... I hope this is a good introduction! And once again, happy pride month everyone <3 |
Welcome to the club, looms :)
I wonder if any Pride events will happen on my country despite covid restrictions. I wouldn't be too surprised tbh. |
happy pride month yallll /late
remember that being het is illegal while pride month is in effect |
happy pride month y'all!!!!
|
it's a shame COVID means no pride parades this year
|
ooo just stumbled upon this club! gay, non-binary here; they/them/theirs =)
and yuh, no physical pride sucks. esp living in a conservative Asian country,,, |
Can't believe I haven't joined yet.
I'm Caite / she-her / Straight / LGBTQ+ ally I'm an ally to all with my best friend being gay and I'm proud of him. |
Just letting you know that in a city not too far from where I live the mayor put out a rainbow flag in celebrations of pride month... and it only lasted one day. Someone apparently stole it during the night, and this is quite an interesting thing in my mind: whoever did this knew that stealing that flag was wrong, or at least would have expected some retaliation if they ever tried this in public! So... this means that, at least, the general opinion on LGBTQ+ is getting better overall... right? I'm hopeful that this is the case 😍

Welcome to the club new members! <3
