    Here one of the most requested topic recently on supporting someone coming out. Understand that their sexuality makes them no less of the person you love and appreciate. Their identity goes much farther than their sexuality. Could you please help us share this video to potential help someone out? P.S Everyone has their reasons on what they support or not. Most importantly, we are all human and should respect one another even though our opinions differ. Respect and love.

    3 of my friend came out to me. They all said something like:
    "I'm gay"
    "I'm bi"
    "I'm pan"
    And my anwser was for the three:
    "Well my favorite color is red"
    When they asked me why would I anwser with that I said:
    "Because to me it's the same. The fact that I like red doesn't change anything in our relationship. So like what you like!"

    In my culture, LGBT isn't really supported, but one of my friends came out as bi. Tbh I was shocked at first, but it didn't make me hate her or be uncomfortable around her, since she's still my friend after all. All we need is just some respect and understanding, even though sometimes it may be contradictory in that part of society. So to anyone out there who is considering, or reconsidering to come out as a part of the LGBT Community, know that you should be proud to be who you are :) Happy pride month

    I kinda accidentally told my mom today that I’m asexual and aromantic. She told me that “you’re a little young to make these ‘choices’ (not a choice, mom.)” I told her that everyone else has crushes and are dating, and I am not. I’m not too young to find this out. She responded with “the dating pool must not be great.” . . . b r u h. Anyway, I’m kinda mad at my mom now so that’s fun.

    • @GwynnDdu
      @GwynnDdu 3 роки тому +109

      I'm pretty sure I'm ace (maybe aro too) and this is the exact reason I'm way too uncomfortable to talk through any of this stuff with my mum.
      If I may ask, how old are you? I'm 17 and 1/2. The one time I offhandedly mentioned getting asexual as the result on an online quiz my mum ended up giving me this whole talk asking about "if I was worried about it" and that "children in stable households mature slower". Like if I am ace/aro then why tf would I be worried about it? If I don't feel sexually/romantically attracted to anyone and never have, then why would I miss it or want it or anything, thus why would I be worried about it. I'd rather just get on with my life and focus on my friendships, school work & other stuff.
      Sorry for the mini rant lol I've just not really got much of a space irl to talk about this stuff. -Not like I don't have anyone to turn to, my brother knows and supports me & while I haven't outright told my friends they're both LGBTQ+ themselves, it's just I tend to feel like anything I say to people I know has the chance to get back to my mum somehow. Even if that chance is most likely actually nonexistent.

      If you wanna hear a try to make this sound not as bad, i would offer “she seems not be that offended or bothered at least, she might “just“ feel older and more experienced than her earlier self and has changed some of her views since then“
      She'll see. You will see. Hopefully she treats you with respect still. Maybe you can exchange experiences one day. But i'm still sorry she didn't seem to take you seriously 😓

    • @lottapitchy9625
      @lottapitchy9625 3 роки тому +103

      Yeah, she actually texted me after she got to work:
      Mom: You know I love you and support you no matter what right? It just dawned on me I may have came across as dismissive earlier and that was not my intent.
      Me: Yeah
      It was a bit rude though
      I know me and I hope you know that
      Mom: Yeah. That’s on me. I’m sorry. I still view you as a younger child that you are. That’s my problem not yours.
      Me: That’s fine
      Mom: Throw away the macaroni please; it’s expired.
      I’m not as mad at my mom now. Yay. Btw I’m 14, so I get where she’s coming from with the ‘too young’ deal, but that’s why I mentioned everyone else having crushes and dating already and such. I’ve never had crushes or anything like that. I’m glad I learned about aces and aros, because I’ve always felt a little weird talking about that kind of stuff with other people. I don’t feel broken after finding these terms :)

    My best friend once told me she really likes this girl, at first it was nothing serious and we just thought it's just a 'girl crush'. But one day she asked, "if ever I turn out gay, what would you think? How will you look at me?" And I told her that nothing is ever going to change and that I'll always love her. We're practically sisters and we've been through so much both together and on our own that it's gonna take more than that to change how I look at her and that I'll always be there when she needs me. Also, this goes out to everyone who's planning to come out, is feeling scared, confused, etc. Please remember, that no matter what, there will be people who will accept you, no matter who or where they are☺️❤️

      "Reason" has very little to do with it. A good portion of it comes down to either fear of the unknown or a fear of one's own inadequacies. Some of the blame could also be laid at the self-righteous "religious" folks who need a cause to fight against.

      In a discussion I had with a fellow classmate about our grievances with a teacher, the topic shifted to lgbtqia+ and acceptance of them in the community, he told me that, as a gay man, the worst thing anyone could say upon learning that someone is gay is, "Don't hit on me"
      I do see his point, because that seems like a sentence that could cause a lot of heart ache and relationship damage
      A lot of people will say "I didn't mean it like that" but the thing is, it doesn't matter how you meant something, it matters what the phrase you said means, and if the two don't match up, it can show that they didn't care enough about you or the the topic to think about how their response would affect you

      The first time I came out, I was basically hyperventilating because I thought my mom would find out. I was crying so much and my brother refused to not know what was wrong. I couldn't really speak, but he typed options on his phone and gave it to me. The second option was that I was queer, so I deleted the rest of the options and gave his phone back to him. We talked about it once our mom went back into the store, and I explained to him that I was pansexual and what that means. He was actually really nice about it and helped me calm down. That was almost a year ago now (June 2, 2020).

    also for allies make sure you aren't overstepping, you don't get an excuse to say insulting things or decide what's insulting and what's not just because you're an ally. listen to what queer people are saying and support the ENTIRE community, don't pick and choose certain identities you feel are the only ones valid. also remember that the 'A' in lgbtqia+ DOES NOT stand for ally.

    When I came out as asexual to one of my friends, she was offended that I didn't tell her before. *Don't do that.* _Please._ Understand that coming out even to the closest people can be scary, regardless of how supportive you are, especially if it's something slightly more complicated than just "I'm gay". Some people may even be afraid that you never heard anything about their sexuality and/or that you'll invalidate them, and it's not your fault, it doesn't mean that they think you're stupid or mean, no, it's *not about you.* It's about all the people who had done it to them in the past, you may be different, but there's never any way to know for sure because sometimes even the ones who are supportive towards some orientations are hateful towards others. So please try to be more understanding and not to take it personally. Thank you.

But there might be some people who won't understand or may even say hurtful things once they know. Just be aware that unfortunately not everyone is accepting and to think about your safety while coming out.

    I am Bi girl and my pre-school best friend came out as Bi to me, recently. She came out to me after a week I came out to her. We had no contact for the last few years. However, I had her number and one fine day I replied to her status on a British vs American web series meme. I recommended Killing Eve in order to see if she was homophobic (Though we were great pals 10 years ago, things changed and Idk whats her say on homosexuality is) She loved Jodie Comer, who plays the lead in KE and thats the way we started talking about girls. Lana Del Ray, Cate Blanchett, Gal Gadot and lesbian porn (we are not proud of the last thing on the list) helped us figure out sexuality.
    Though I am Bi myself I didnt know how to react as we live in a fairly homophobic country. I send her 3 songs, "We fell in love in October", "I kissed a girl" and "Girls like girls" when she came out to me.
    This might mean nothing to so many people but coming out together with someone whom you have know for 14+ years is very special.

      A lot if people out there for example are extraverted and define themselves by the responses from outside, so any outer appearance easily turns into an assault on THEIR reality! And ofcourse there are introverts with similar dynamics. There are people struggling with people pleasing and if whom they try to please are people with misconceptions of outdated kind because strangely parts from religious organisations tend to forget religion, too, needs updates. Even though they use things like photography even though they would have been burnt by their non-updated ancestors for sure! They are conveniently changing and keeping what they please and constantly speaking "for god" 👀 Even though "God" has and is constantly speaking through all of creation, which includes the good, the bad, the many sexualities and genders and non gendered as. From the maniac to the saint it's all one. Yet fail-able humans open their mouths and say what's OK to update or censor and what's not. 🙃 Interesting! And that even though so many principles in religions are quite similar and actually really helpful, too!
      But fears aren't rational and we can't demand for everyone to instantly jump to full open maturity the moment they reach legal adult age (by what countries age would we go anyway? 😂)
      So, being mature and open also means for us to see where they're maybe a little inconsistent and still respect and love them (true to their principles, actually) even though they eventually don't return the same grace. Which is NOT to say we are to put up with their behaviours. We are allowed to leave them to their personal growth process and to call out when they forget that rights of freedom and speech and religious freedom etc. are directly connected to the duty to uphold these standards from their end as well!
      I should have thought about this sooner! Next time I see someone abuse religion to ask someone change to their "real" gender or sexuality, I shall ask them to change their religion to their "real" religion, which we call "Love" and the rule set being "human (and animal, and plant, and nature) rights". 🤭

      Per il fatto di usare "loro" lo trovo un po' forzato in italiano per riferirsi ad una persona senza genere ma non ci possiamo fare niente perché l'italiano è una lingua un po' su questo aspetto :'/

    Coming out was one of the toughest things. For years I thought there was something wrong with me. I had all straight friends growing up so I couldn’t relate on quite a few topics and kept quiet. But it’s crazy since I was convinced I was just never gonna accept myself and will be too scared to come out. Then one day at work the urge to come out to say to my closest colleague. Three days later and a anxiety attack or two later everyone I wanted to know knew

    In Winter 2020, I realized I was a bisexual (now idk if I’m bi or omni) and I told my best friend. Her family are homophobic Christians who didn’t let her watch Julie and The Phantoms bcos two guys talked to each other. I one time showed her a tiktok that said “god still loves you if you’re lgbtq” and she said she didn’t believe that, and that god hated gay ppl. She also thought I was lying abt my sexuality since my only girl crush at the time was Luna Lovegood. A few months later she tells me she’s bi and non binary, and that she was gonna come out to her dad via email. I thought she was joking when she said that. I didn’t believe her bcos I didn’t feel like she was taking it seriously, she even said in the email “if you’re not happy with my CHOICE” and one time, she told me “my dad doesn’t support me being non binary, but like, my body, my CHOICE, but I’d never get an abortion tho” and she ended up ruining her relationship with her dad bcos of it. And now she says she not bi or non binary and she’s ignoring it bcos it’s ruined her life. Ppl have told me she’s a toxic friend, does she sound like it in your opinion?

    I remember years ago, my little sister got ahold of my phone and went through my notes. I keep a personal digital log thingy, and it mentioned how I was bi and how I didn’t know what I was gonna do.
    Ofcourse her being the little something she was at the time, she essentially managed to unknowingly corner me into telling our dad, aka, the only person genuinely close to me. I didn’t know how he was gonna react, because he had always seemed rather quiet regarding the subject of LGBTQ+ individuals.
    He just sorta nodded, and he didn’t care.
    And it was a moment of uttermost relief I will never forget.
    And not caring about it is the way it should be really. It’s just a small detail that doesn’t change your bond with someone whatsoever, they’re still the same person!
    The fact that I agree that I’m incredibly lucky to have a supportive father is pretty sad the more I think about it.
    To any other LGBTQ+ individuals, please don’t let awful remarks get to ya. You are valid and valued.

It was sorta hard to take in at the moment but I understood where she was coming from ( her family is very conservative and religious and so is she) Right after though, she told me that she honestly didn’t care what I chose to do with that part of my life and told me that if that’s how I really felt that she won’t be against it.. but she wasn’t entirely comfortable being a shoulder to cry on either. Things got a little weird for a while after that but we eventually started talking like normal. She was actually the first person I told and somehow it felt kinda comforting that even though she was probably uncomfortable she didn’t act weirded out she just told me that she didn’t believe or support it fully but didn’t let it get between us. I really appreciated that.

    i hugged him and told him he had my full support
