It's pride month and I'm very happy that we're finally hearing that good days for the LGBTQ+ people might come! 

Happy for you. Its always good to see changes around you and also the way how it slowly changes but changes. And i feel everybody should have their freedom of choice. And i am happy for all the LGBTQ+people

Other

I am feeling terrible. i lost my girlfriend(who claims she is bisexual btw) and 3 friends(as well as them) i really trusted today. everyone at school wants to cancel me for not supporting the lgbtq community. i disapprove of it and don't want to be associated with it and everyone is telling me in wrong. I'm entitled to an opinion... No? i just don't understand why they care so much. if they were really my friends, they wouldn't care. the whole thing is stupid. and the crazy part is, this is only middle school
😔(edit: plz dont judge me for disaaprovement of homosexuality thats not the topic)

Bullying

i am asexual hehe and i am happy

LGBTQ

What are you thoughts on increasing communities of LGBTQ and so on?

I'm gay. I know I'm gay. 100% lesbian. And I want to come out to my parents, but it's not like I'm going to be dating anyone anytime soon, so what's the point? I just really need to get it off my chest. Then again, I'm only in 6th grade. What do I do?

Coming Out

Sexuality vs Sexual orientation, the age old question it seems. I know I have always been attracted to men, but I also like women sometimes? I mean, part of the reason I mostly look these things up all the time is because of just how confusing it all is. I recently started therapy and that's where this was highlighted even more. ""You're talking about orientation, do you know the difference? Sexuality vs sexual orientation?"" Like, of course I don't???? I'm 19 and I'm just coming to terms with all this. You know, last night, I wrote it on my white board ""sexuality vs sexual orientation"" and internet has not been very helpful. So Apparently sexual orientation is about feelings etc and sexuality about sex. By that logic, my sexuality is towards men but orientation to BOTH MEN AND WOMEN? I have been thinking about coming to my mother. She gets it. Plus we have this unspoken contract to never talk about these things, but I want her to know. I feel like I can't be ""real"" with her otherwise. To tell her, I HAVE TO KNOW IT FIRST. Which I clearly don't. So yay me. Congratulations for wanting to invite your mother into this chaos you call choices. I think more than me, these millions of labels and choices are the problem. Ok, just thinking out loud. That would've reduced the stigma on you? But I'm sure I know what I mean. Labels can be empowering too I guess, the first time I said it out loud, that I'm gay, it was like, EVERYTHING CHANGED. and maybe it did. But to not have a label at all is horrifying.

Any asexual here? I'm just having a lot going on...

Hey all. I’m looking for advice from someone in the LGBT community. I’m having a weird sense of identity at this point in my life. I want to be a part of the LGBT community because I love so many of its members and we share a lot of the same ideologies. I’ve always considered myself a Allie. I support organizations within the community, I advocate for their rights, I’ve been out for protests, and you’ll catch me downtown every year for pride day.
I become conflicted however, when I realize that I myself am a heterosexual. I’m certainly not your average hetero male. I think gender norms in relationships and in life are wak as fuck. I wear funny hats some days because it makes me feel pretty. And I’ve always wanted the confidence to wear kimonos and feel good about the way that I look. I honestly reject some aspects of myself that are considered masculine. I feel all of the best aspects of my character are feminine and I embrace that fact and I feel better about myself in flamboyant clothing.

The issue arises when I realize that I’m heterosexual and not actually LGBT but I’m just an Allie. I want to be a part of the community and I want to meet people who share my ideologies, but I can’t help but feeling like I’m faking being a member. I don’t want people to think that I don’t believe in these things or feel like I don’t belong simply because I’m heterosexual. I’ve thought about a label for myself as “heterosexual queer” but that in itself is paradoxical. 

If anyone can provide thoughts or opinions it would be greatly appreciated. I want to be apart of it but I don’t want my lack of different sexual orientation to come off as insincere and I don’t want to offend anyone who is true LGBT by undermining who they are. 

I'm not really sure how to feel.
Highschool ends for me tomorrow, and I'm failing so far and that's why I understand why there is so much pressure on my back. But it doesn't mean that my mother can push me around, right? 
At first she body-shamed me, then she calls me slurs just because I am a part of lgbtq+? Then the next day my grandmother is saying how trans people are mistakes but little does she know, I AM transgender. I am slowly turning into a boy and she doesn't realize it, so all of those words she said to MY face, hurt a lot. I'm still a kid. I'm only 16.
I want freedom.
I want racism gone.
I want homophobic and transphobic people gone.
Hell, why did people even have to make those terms? Why are people afraid of us? Why are poc scared of white people? Not all of us americans are bad as you see us. Trust me. I love everyone, sm. But I had to delete all socials off my phone, know why? Because I got rape and death threats for being white. And I am sorry for how y'all got treated, but it's not all of ours faults, most of us are just kids, don't be so harsh. Have a good day, thank you for letting me rant.
