LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transexual) anyone?

Status
Not open for further replies.
Well, I'm straight...but I kinda ask myself sometimes if I'm bi, I dunno. I really don't feel any sexual attraction to guys, but some aspects I feel reflect me.

I'm 89% straight though. :P

I honestly never thought I'd see LGBT come up on a Pokemon forum, but I guess weirder things have happened!
I personally support the LGBT(QIA) community, which makes most people assume I'm gay. I consider myself straight, but I also think that whoever I fall in love with is who's right for me, no matter the gender. As long as we're both happy with one another, that's what matters.

Ugh, it annoys me so much when people do that.
That's why I classify me being in GSA, so people won't be like:

"Oh, what club are you in?"
"GSA"
"What?"
"Gay Straight Alliance, GSA for short"
"OMG ARE YOU GAY?! :O"

And I've made it a pack to not deny that I'm gay, but veer it off as much as possible.
Seriously, I've actually had that conversation before.

People just assume you're gay is you're for it. Major Failure.

So I had a very awkward experience at a party I went to last night.

My friend is dared to make out with another guy in the room by this one girl. He doesn't like the guys in the room, so he pulls me up to the room to make out with him. (He knows I'm gay.)

So I've just unwillingly outed myself to four people who didn't know I was gay...possibly as many as eight people, too. That is NOT how I wanted the night to turn out...:V

but he's hot so I guess I'm a lucky man. :P

Well, I would consiter it a complement that he chose to kiss you instead. :3

But, kisses that mean nothing... I really couldn't do that. :/
I've got a really romantic heart (if I must say so), so it would feel really bad if kisses were loveless/likeless.

I'm Bisexual.
At first iw as afraid to tell everyone but I told them anyway.
In a sorta blurted out way to get it over with.

Needless to say, the reactions were surprising.
They all accepted it and me for what I am.
And now we have a big laugh about how I kept it all bottled up before.

Now this is fantastic.
I really like stories like this, because it shows how people can be accepting, and not douches.

i'm really glad everything worked out for you, honestly.

oh dear lord, do you have an irish accent? I would die from the awesome.

I recently came out on Facebook. I've yet to receive any attention for it.

With that party, and coming out to another close friend of mine, I've pretty much told everyone in my inner circle of friends. Few don't know, and I wouldn't care if those who haven't yet do.

I've tried to come out to my mum, but she doesn't believe me. I'm pretty much out on the internet though.

Well, that's a good thing that nobody has flamed you for it. :3
But let's hope the inactivity isn't pretending like nothing has been said..

.....Doesn't believe you?

like "it's a phase" or something?
 
For me, its the exact opposite. My mom keeps saying i'm gay, yet I say I am not, too embarrassed to come out. It is quite weird.
 
Remember this whole incident with the lesbian couple trying to go to the prom but getting denied?

Well now this happened.

I'm sorry, but this has gone so low... And even the staff supported it. That's scary and screwed up. I thought we were finally getting with the times, but I guess not.

I think I'd be upset if it actually surprised me. Just the cruel, hard facts of life once against presented in everyone's face.

The saddest part is that the school re-shaped their whole prom plans simply based on the sexuality of one person. That, my friend, is what's known as pathetic.
 
I'm definitely bisexual. I've known it since I was way young. Atleast 12. I never told anyone, because my family are serious Christians who don't believe in anything like that. My sister knows, but she thinks I just say it to be joking. My mom might have an idea since she told me the other day that (one of my favorite actresses) Anna Paquin was bi, and I said "Sweet! I'd date her!". She probably thought I was just joking though.(I wasn't.)

Anyway, I'm definitely bi. And I'm not one of those girls who says it because I think it makes me hotter or more appealing to guys. I'm honestly attracted to both genders, and could easily see myself with either one. Sometimes I think I would rather date girls, because they're pretty and easier to be with(or maybe just because all the guys I've seen my sister with have been totally bipolar and put her through hell).

Yeah ma, def not

My mom gave me the whole: "Maybe it's because you haven't been that close to your father lately? Maybe you just want a fatherly relationship with these men?"

These are definitely not things I would want to do with my father.

Wow, I was JUST on my way here to tell of this. I've even got a link on my clipboard.

Isn't that just terrible? I mean, first they downright refuse her her rights, and then they go out of their way, decieve her and completely divert her from the rest of her friends in order to prevent her presence from ruining their "idyllic", anti-gay prom.

This really downcasts my hopes for equality for all. :(

That's... pretty terrible. I mean who in their right mind would condone that kind of behaviour? No-one objected? Not a single person? Seriously? Eugh, glad I don't live there.

When I came to my Mum and Dad they where cool with it and had pretty much already guessed but then a few days later I got the "How do you know if you've never been with either?" (Gee, thanks for the EVER so subtle reminder, Mum) so I just explained I know who, and what I'm attracted too and it wasn't women. Simple. Coming out to a few friends I got the "Are you sure it's not a phase?" well unless it's a 4+ year long phase then yes, I'm pretty sure it's not a 'phase', and also "You're not gay, you're not camp enough" or words to that effect. Glad I didn't encounter any hostility though.
 
We can't force a school to anything it doesn't want to do. Students have a right to be educated and if the school didn't deny her a fair education they didn't do anything wrong.
 
It's amazing how none of you have said how outragous it is that disabled individuals were cast aside but all of you are up in arms because a lesbian was turned away.

yes we can. schools are run by the government which in turn is run by the people.
