It other news, I figured out I was definitely bi last week, even though I admitted it to a friend a couple years ago and have been jackin' it to dicks and dudes for like 12 years now. It's weird how I ever thought that was ambiguous.

It's ambiguous if you have a presupposed concept of what "bi" is.

Which I imagine a lot of people do.

It is a bit of a broad term for everything other than a 0 or a 6 on the kinsey scale.

LGBT: Turkish riot police fire tear gas, rubber bullets to break up Trans Pride parade in Istanbul

I met a very sweet Turkish boy in Istanbul a few years ago who recently discovered that she's trans, I haven't heard from her yet but it's rear end early in the morning there now so I hope she's just asleep :(

E: She's fine, didn't try to go to the parade at all thank god.

Yeah I definitely did, it's a lot more loosey goosey than I imagined. Like, just because sometimes I may not like one gender at that moment, doesn't mean I've somehow lost my bisexuality or whatever. Last week was pretty gay though, and that was really cool.

I think I supressed thinking of myself like that for a while because at school, the only openly gay kid routinely got his shins kicked the gently caress out of in school. It was horrible, I think we w ere rated one of the worse schools in England, so much so that they merged it with another to fudge the numbers, as well as introducing a bunch of bullshit BTECs to artificially say their students got so many qualifications. Absolute poo poo show all around. That lad is a lady now, and I dread to think how she would've been treated had she been openly trans at the time.

I think what triggered me was my best mate from that time coming out later on then recently posting a sexy photo of himself.

I've been really hating my home town for being so boring and poo poo, but I keep hearing of more people coming out and it makes me happy that lgbt people actually exist here and seem to be happy.

I'm going to a munch tomorrow, I've only been once before here and had a good time, even if I did nervously pace outside the place for probably an hour. I even went to my first ever kink event about two months ago and a dude force fed me a Jaffa cake which wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, but now I've started on keto, can't let that happen again.

Being force fed jaffa cakes isn't my kink or anything, that was just a thing that happened. Sorry if I'm being too blog posty or e/n but it's 4:30 and I can't sleep.

:hf: kinsey 2-ish UK insomniac goon comrade.

We didn't have any openly gay students at my school, for which I'm thankful because I can't imagine that would have gone well for them.

I think a lot of people feel like bisexuality has to be 50/50 or you get lumped into one or the other. Kinda weird really.

I think another thing that isn't mentioned is that one's attractions to different genders may not feel the same.

You rely a lot on ad-hominem attacks I guess? Every time I see you shouting at someone I always want to side with the person you're attacking even if they're 100% in the wrong. You seem sarcastic to a fault, to the point where you put zero effort into your posts, especially when someone actually gives you something worth refuting. Also gently caress attacking people for their sexuality, even if they're heterosexual, as a bi dude that hurts, and I feel like I have to spell out my sexuality to you otherwise you may assume I'm straight and dismiss me, which would be annoying. I don't actually know if you would, but that's the vibe I get from your posts.

There's plenty of things wrong to point out, and maybe some of that can stem from hetrosexuality, or whiteness or whatever, but focusing on that seems counter productive and hypocritical.

I think it's because someone literally used the deaths of 50 LGBT people as a defense against their being called out for lovely behavior, and the moderators seem to be protecting them for it. The combination of lovely behavior and even shittier behavior would put a damper on any conversation.

What I meant was that in a world where horrific poo poo is happening it seems a bit silly to get all spun up over someone not showing a straight man enough deference when they roll in and try to explain that Clinton was actually a bad guy because DADT and it's repeal wasn't a big deal.

Huh, yeah, they have civil unions (or an equivalent), and you pretty much have to treat same-sex partners like spouses, but no straight up marriage.

That is the loving weirdest thing. I expect better of Europe.
