The Queer Eye group should come up to Canada and do an episode about me. They could call it "Queer Eh for the half-gay"

teen witch posted:I have never felt more comfortable being anything else than I have felt from being queer. I am, very obviously, a deeply insecure and people pleasing individual, always have been. But - since coming out over a decade ago, my queerness and what its bled into, a small little pocket of who I truly am, feels most like “me”. It is something I hope everyone can feel, and feel safely.

As a person of color, am I gay adjacent, can I share pride Month or would that be appropriatung? Forealsies tho, leaving London to live in Brighton UK for the best part of a decade helped me grow a huge amount. It was the first time I could see the various communities and their tersectionality. I will always be grateful for the headsoace I was able to enjoy by being around those other communities that were fighting fior equality. So yeah happy pride Month y'all!! url fucked around with this message at 01:49 on Jun 12, 2023 |

url posted:As a person of color, am I gay adjacent, can I share pride Month or would that be appropriatung? I don’t know why people get so hung up on this. Being proud for someone is just as important as that person being proud for themselves. So if you’re not celebrating for yourself, celebrate for someone else! If you don’t know anyone in particular you can still show up and show support in general. Just don’t be weird about it. Proceed like it’s any other parade or celebration. Treat it like a block party. Chat about normal stuff. You’ll make some new friends and probably have a good ol’ time. If you feel like you need some rules, then here you go: Treat nothing you see as remarkable. Never bring the focus onto you. If you feel the need to call someone brave, please stop for a second and remember that you should not do that. If anyone hits on you all you gotta do is smile and say, “Thank you, but I’m straight,” like it’s no big deal. Maybe score a hug if you’re in to that. Don’t be an awkward nerd about it. If you see something that sparks your fancy then please, please, please go and ask about it—but, be straight(heh)forward about where you’re coming from and what your interest is. Maybe you’ll learn something about yourself. Maybe you’ll learn something about someone else. Maybe you’ll learn how to tie some cool knots? Even if you’re living in some west coast liberal hellhole where pride is so banal and corporate that you feel like a tacky rear end poseur for being seen on the block, you can still get your rear end out there and make sure the streets are crowded. It does matter. There are still a whole lot of people living in places where they don’t see that and they need to know they have that support. The only way they’re gonna hear it is if we’re loud enough together. But please for love of god don’t be weird about it. Don’t be the straight people equivalent of those goons who need advice on how often to shower. That’s real loving weird and it’s not hard to not be that goon. Go and be real proud of your people too! There’s probably a least a few in the crowd. It’s always great to know your people have your back. Again, just don’t make it weird. Don’t make it about you. …unless you want to experiment with some novel forms of making out or not making out or something else outside of or adjacent to that spectrum. If you feel it you might as well go for it because ain’t no one gonna judge. Do it. Be proud of it. You can make it a little bit about you then.

for straight allies: pride is for everyone, you can buy pride merch and festoon yourself with rainbows and donate to gay charities and attend the pride parades and post in threads like this to say that you're glad the alphabet mafia is still running the place, it's all good. there's some events and spaces that are *for* asexual people or trans people or gay people or whatever, and going there and taking up space is bad. usually any event that is like this will be pretty explicit about it, so if you can read you'll be cool also some of us don't super appreciate people coming up to us in person to tell us how good an ally they are or otherwise centering themselves especially in things that are nominally for us. if you show up to something like a trans rights protest or are being cool at a party then you're already at maximum ally, you don't need to be formally blessed by a queer as well

If you're a real good ally, you should become gay or trans in solidarity. That's what I did.

A Terrible Person posted:Pages back, but I was responding to someone doing the "straight pride" thing as a part of the usual page 1 thread-making GBS threads. I was also very drunk at the time and didn't express myself very well. I wasn't asking why this thread exists but, rather, how it could exist with that poo poo that you called out being tolerated. I just did so poorly. Apologies for that. really very cool story, I thought Mr.Acula posted:im straight but i am extremely proud that i was born that way I have always been bummed out that im just straight, i missed out. im just locked out of all these cool fun experiences because my dumb brain only allows me sexual attraction towards one gender. pretty hosed up honestly. teemolover42069 fucked around with this message at 17:10 on Jun 12, 2023 |

just had the thought that two of the most grounded, responsible, good-hearted people I know are a married pair of ladies. like, they both have those societally necessary but ill-appreciated kind of jobs, and they have their hobbies and get along with each other in an evidently healthy way. they got their own home and have even been raising a reasonably well-adjusted kid, in tyool 2023. they're both younger than I am and seemingly without even trying they've plum lapped me in terms of maturity, and I have nothing but respect for them. I ought to check in with them and see if Pride's treating them as well as I hope it's treating all of you. Thanks for if you bothered to read all of that, and happy Pride

How easy is it to get at home HIV testing? Grindr was peddling free at home kits a while back. Is that something kind of easily accessible, the same way Covid tests were from some pharmacies?

buglord posted:Happy pride to those who have parents who love them unconditionally but still vote in particularly despicable ways I will never get this, what do parents like this think is going to happen if their party takes total control over the country? They'll spare their kids for being "the good ones"? I love my mom but can't stand her politics, the only consolation I have is that she's not "too mean" about it and mostly keeps her regressive views to herself. But I'm like, what does she think her party is going to do to me and my gay uncle, or my gay stepbrother if they take over? I haven't even come out to her because I don't see what I'd even gain, I think her only response would be feigned indifference.

Every year pride happens and I wonder if I should like, come out, as a bi man. But I'm in a cishet marriage and honestly who cares, so I don't. But then yesterday I was at a queer zine workshop so I made a coming out zine. Which feels like an incredibly cliche thing to do, but hey. Happy pride.

Saw a quote like 20 years ago that stuck with me, went something like, "The trouble with being a gay kid is that you're born into a straight family." and while this isn't strictly speaking true 100% of the time it's broadly the case. I got super lucky, my parents kick rear end and love me very much and already didn't vote for the team that wants to put me & my loved ones into camps. Most of my friends were not so lucky; I still talk to some people who I met when I was first coming to grips with myself, and their parents sent them to gay camps and whatnot. One got prescribed a bunch of meds that he did not need which hosed him up in a way that continues to this day. Being a teenager is hard enough without that poo poo, I hate that kids have to go through that.

King Vidiot posted:I will never get this, what do parents like this think is going to happen if their party takes total control over the country? They'll spare their kids for being "the good ones"? yeah it’s maddening. I have 100% support from my parents and they say things like “I want you to have the opportunity and quality of life that everyone else has.” But then they can’t abandon their party because of issues like abortion and the existence of BLM which must be resisted. Or that how teaching kids that it’s okay to be gay might undo 300,000 years of genetic predisposition to procreation of this species and confuse them. Us being in California means that their votes are a lot less impactful than say, Georgia. but Christ Alive between that and the “it can’t happen here” attitude it’s just…a whole lot. In short, im gay.
