This is disgusting.
On a happier note, my niece told me happy pride month yesterday, it was really sweet
I am probably a little bisexual.mostly straight but definitely sexual attraction to some women.not often but has happened.
I definitely support lgbtq + community.
I also support sex workers rights and women rights and animal rights.
I definitely love a lot of gay people and other lgbtq +.
Sorry, members. I took care of the issue.
If I was an airline, my motto would be āwhy drive through Texas when you can fly over it?ā
Be safe if you are going to pride.
This would be my first pride in a decade. And I might just stay and wait in the hotel. Iām discussing with my spouse and therapist and psychiatrist. I donāt feel like I can participate.
Sorry guys - this is in my city, my county, my state i live in.
So I canāt have Fly a flag in my home, bumper sticker and now they ban all Flag on government property public parks.
The message to me is loud and clear. We are a problem.
When should we not over react?
Why does our existence offend people so much.
āFor a city that prides itself on exercising its rights, itās abhorrently inexcusable to infringe upon the First Amendment rights of the LGBTQ tax-payers; theyāre sending us a clear message of hate and shamelessly putting young, queer lives at stake. Huntington Beachās officials are taking a cue from the political playbooks of extremist politicians across the countryāusing their hatred of queer and trans people as launching pads for their careers.ā
I canāt answer that and stay within the forum rules.
I want you to know that thereās many that see you. That care about you. Iām bi, so I canāt call myself an ally, but I have many cishet friends that are.
They hear us. They see us. Thereās just too many loud asshats out there right now being pandered to.
Thank you @anon4362788
Itās my fault Iām feeling so alone, and only socialize on this forum. And Iām glad you made a safe space thread for us. It really helps me personally.
And I trust you because you are out there so when you say, that they hear us, see us. That comforts me. Thank you.
Hey, anytime my friend.
I am not quiet. I can promise you that I act very similar offline. I do not suffer fools lightly.
Last year, even before I began to get myself back from the sza haze, I had to face down a woman that had a problem with our library flying that new inclusive pride flag.
Needless to say, the flag stayed.
I wanted to pound the button repeatedly
Iām sorry @Kxev . I hope you find some support in your town somehow, even if itās over zoom or something.
@Kxev , here is an lgbtqa support center that offers counseling, including group therapy, where you can meet others and get support in Orange County.
Back in the 1974 when I was 15 years old and started high school, homosexuality was removed from DSM as a mental illness and replaced with a diagnostic code of being distressed about oneās sexual orientation. I attempted suicide and ended up in the hospital psych ward back then. My mom was friends with a gay man her age that I knew when I was 13 years old. He told me he knew two men who were put in the State Hospital for being homosexual and having what later because known as Conversion Therapy on them. Because of this I didnāt tell them in the psych ward I attempted suicide because other students were harassing for being gay and calling me the F word. I didnāt say anything to the school counselor about it either because they would have to tell my parents. I imagine the hospital people would have had to do that as well if I had told them. After I turned 18 and started college I did get some pretty good therapy at the college for free.
Iām probably less than one percent sexually attracted to women but it has happened.
The woman I was sexually attracted to is a gay woman that dresses in menās clothing and wears menās perfume and no makeup and short hair.
She is so gorgeous to me.
She is the only woman Iāve been so sexually attracted to with out touch or anything just her presence.
She is married so out of respect for her wife i donāt look at her really anymore n keep respectful but polite distance.
Her and her family own a horse ranch and if she was single i would be gay with her any day.
Yeah I would be her wife/girlfriend if she was single I reckon.
Because sheās married i will keep a distance out of respect for them and their marriage because I do like her wife too as such but Iām not attracted to her wife like that .
I just havenāt met many gay women and maybe Iām picky with women romantically since Iāve not really had chemistry as such with others.
I always have been bisexual, pansexual or whatever,
But I only had relationships with men.
I support LGBTQ+, and I understand and know when family do not support, when youre gay, bi or smth
In short, sexually I can be attracted to anyone,
But the biggest loves and most of the time unhappy ones were directed to men
